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 | $0.07187 | $0.07187 |
| Opus 5 | $0.03594 | $0.03594 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.01437 | $0.01437 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00719 | $0.00719 |
Grade A, and why
veritas-kanban 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 5d ago.
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 — 553 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — Canonical Agent Instructions for Veritas Kanban
Canonical source. Contributors and harnesses with repository-instruction discovery read this file first. Every Veritas-managed run also receives an immutable task envelope; do not assume a provider that disables custom instructions reads repository files implicitly. Harness-specific supplements (for example
CLAUDE.md) extend, never duplicate or contradict, these rules. Seedocs/AGENTS-TEMPLATE.mdfor the managed-run and external-agent protocols.Version: 6.1.3 Freshness policy: update within two working days of any toolchain or architecture change. Stale fields (package manager, Node version, provider list, test commands) are caught by
pnpm check:pnpm-settingsand the smoke-test CI job.
Runtime requirements
| Tool | Required version | How to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js | ≥ 22.22.1 | node --version |
| pnpm | ≥ 11.0.0 | pnpm --version |
| Git | ≥ 2.38 | git --version |
The packageManager field in package.json is pinned to [email protected]. Do not install with npm
or yarn. Do not up-rev the pin without updating this file.

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.
