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 | $0.00602 | $0.00602 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00241 | $0.00241 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00120 | $0.00120 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00060 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
ScubaConnect 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 yesterday.
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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Instructions for AI coding agents working in this repository.
Attribution requirements
Maintainers need to be able to tell at a glance when a coding agent contributed to a change. If you are a coding agent, you MUST disclose that in every commit you create and in every pull request you open, regardless of how small the change is.
The human developer who directed you remains the author and is responsible for the change. Attribution supplements that; it does not replace it.
Commits
Add a Co-authored-by trailer to every commit message, naming the agent that produced the change. The trailer goes at the end of the message, separated from the body by a blank line.
Fix off-by-one error in pagination
Co-authored-by: <Agent Name> <[email protected]>
Use the identity that matches the agent you are:
| Agent | Trailer |
|---|---|
| Claude / Claude Code | Co-authored-by: Claude <[email protected]> |
| OpenAI Codex | Co-authored-by: Codex <[email protected]> |
| GitHub Copilot | Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]> |
| Cursor | Co-authored-by: Cursor Agent <[email protected]> |
| Gemini CLI | Co-authored-by: Gemini <[email protected]> |
| Any other agent | Co-authored-by: <Agent Name> <noreply@<vendor-domain>> |
Rules:
- Always name the specific agent. Never use a vague label such as "AI" or "bot".
- Keep one trailer per agent. If several agents contributed, add one trailer for each.
- Do not remove or rewrite existing trailers when amending or rebasing.
- Do not add the human developer's name as an agent, and do not impersonate a human.
Pull request descriptions
Every PR description must include an attribution line stating which agent was used. Put it in its own section at the bottom of the description:
---
🤖 This pull request was created with the assistance of <Agent Name> (<model, if known>), directed by @<github-username>.
Rules:
- Name the agent and, when you know it, the model or version used.
- If the agent wrote or substantially edited the PR description itself, say so.
- Keep the attribution when the description is edited later. Do not delete it.
- If a PR contains a mix of human-written and agent-written commits, still include the attribution line.
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.
