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 | $0.00282 | $0.00282 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00113 | $0.00113 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00056 | $0.00056 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00028 |
Grade A, and why
a-memory 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 28d 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.
What it actually says
OpenWiki
This repository has a generated openwiki/ evidence index. It is optional just-in-time context, not required startup reading.
- Do not enumerate, preload, or search wikis at task start. Use retrieval when the user asks for it, when unfamiliar architecture or dependency behavior materially affects the task, or when source inspection leaves an important uncertainty. Stop once the question is grounded.
- When those conditions apply and OpenWiki retrieval tools are available, use
openwiki_searchfor just-in-time context andopenwiki_readfor the relevant complete sections. If search returnsworkspace_required, ask which listed workspace to use and retry with its ID. - Use
openwiki_list_workspacesoropenwiki_list_wikiswhen workspace membership itself needs to be discovered. - If the retrieval tools are unavailable, read
openwiki/quickstart.mdand follow its links to the relevant pages. - Treat source code and tests as authoritative. A brief's unknowns and review items are verification gaps, not automatic requirements.
- Prefer the narrowest quiet validation that proves the changed behavior. Preserve complete failure output.
The scheduled OpenWiki GitHub Actions workflow refreshes the repository wiki. Do not hand-edit generated OpenWiki pages unless explicitly asked; prefer updating source code/docs and letting OpenWiki regenerate.
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.

a-memory AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Cipher208/a-memory (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 282 tokens to every session, about $0.0011 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 2026-09-25.
