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 | $0.05498 | $0.05498 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02199 | $0.02199 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01100 | $0.01100 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00550 | $0.00550 |
Grade A, and why
codealive-mcp 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 1mo 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 — 425 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent instructions
Before editing or inspecting a target path, read every applicable
AGENTS.mdfrom the repository root through the target directory. Do not load instructions from unrelated subtrees.
This file provides guidance to coding agents working in this repository.
Version Control
- This repository uses jj. Before changing files, load
working-with-jjandcodealive-jj-development, stay in the current or assigned root, and use jj—not raw Git—for VCS mutations.
Development Commands
Installation and Setup
# Using uv (recommended)
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
uv pip install -e .
# Using pip
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

Dependency Rules
- Keep Python dependency specifiers exact where this repository already pins them, including test extras and
build-system. - If
pyproject.tomlchanges affect resolved packages, verify the result through the lock/install path used by CI. - Do not introduce floating versions in CI or release automation when exact pins are practical.
- Do not adopt a versioned dependency, runtime, build tool, or GitHub Action until its release is more than seven days old. Keep
tool.uv.exclude-newer = "7 days"and audit release dates for non-Python tooling separately.

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.
