Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.02045 | $0.02045 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00818 | $0.00818 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00409 | $0.00409 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00204 | $0.00204 |
Grade A, and why
AI-Rig AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AI-Rig — Project-Only Agent Instructions
- Any policy change in one listed instruction file must trigger a relevance review of every other listed file before completion.
- Synchronize applicable shared policy in either direction; preserve intentional agent-specific differences and record when no counterpart change is needed.
Instruction Layering
- Repository-wide policy belongs in this top-level file.
- Lower-scope instruction files inherit it and must add only narrower rules or explicit exceptions, never repeat the same policy; when a top-level policy changes, review lower layers for conflicts or obsolete duplication rather than copying the new text into them.
- This file is for maintaining this repository only and is never shipped — plugin users never see it. Anything general, meant for every project or every install, must be distributed in the plugin that ships it (the Codex Rig global template plugins/codex-rig/assets/AGENTS.md or
plugins/codex-rig/shared/; foundry rules for Claude), never added here. This file holds only this repository's own conventions and restates none of the shipped baseline.
Shipped Global Baseline
These generic rules ship in the global template (section names as in that file) and are not restated here: core principles and focused delegation (§Execution Discipline, §Subagent Spawn Rules, §Code Quality), internal record types (packaged shared/global-baseline-details.md §"Code standard details", Internal records), docstring opening line (§Docstring Style Resolution), Multi-OS Executables, Markdown Authoring, the lossless instruction compression gate (§Scope And Layering), pytest parametrization, marker discipline and xdist isolation (§Testing), pre-commit hooks over bare lint tools (§Code Quality, Project hygiene), benchmark isolation (§Testing), plan isolation (§Work Handover) and Notebook Authoring. Sections below add only this repository's specifics. This repository supports Linux, macOS, and native Windows, so the conditional Multi-OS Executables rule always applies here.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

AI-Rig AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Borda/AI-Rig (29 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,045 tokens to every session, about $0.0082 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
