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 | $0.01609 | $0.01609 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00644 | $0.00644 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00322 | $0.00322 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00161 | $0.00161 |
Grade A, and why
3notch 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
3Notch Agent Guide
Purpose
3Notch is a local-first CLI and MCP server for automated agentic workflows: agents save and resume working state without a human in the loop, and they move selected context across repos, AI work surfaces, web chats, and new projects. V3 remains the packet-transfer surface. Same-repo continuity is in scope: wrap-up is notch save, session start is notch resume. Cross-boundary packets stay; they are not the only loop. Supporting commands: onboard, status, doctor, mcp serve.
Read First
V3 is shipped. Version plans are archived under docs/archived-plans/ as historical record:
docs/archived-plans/v3/3notch-v3-plan.md— current architecture (folder-canonical packets, artifact bundles,nextSteps, pack/unpack).docs/archived-plans/v2/3notch-v2-plan.md— V2 substrate (marks, replies,supersedes, relationships, check, web-chat bridge).docs/archived-plans/v1.1/3notch-v1.1-plan.md— V1.1 hardening.docs/archived-plans/v1/3notch-v1-technical-spec.md— V1 architecture and contract.docs/archived-plans/3notch-project-request.md— original project framing.
Future version plans land under docs/active-plans/<version>/ during development and move to docs/archived-plans/ when shipped.
Long-Run Goal
/goal prompts are an end-of-session deliverable, not a repo artifact. At the close of a planning or build session, when the next logical build is in view, produce a comprehensive paste-ready /goal prompt for that next session and deliver it inline in the chat as a copy-paste Markdown block. Do not write /goal prompts to files in the repo — the user copies them into the next session manually.
Constraints on the prompt:
- Keep it under 4,000 characters.
- Reference the relevant repo docs (the active plan, schemas, services) by path rather than embedding the full plan inline.
- Include only the load-bearing framing the next session needs to act on, not the reasoning that produced the plan.
During an active implementation run, append concise progress entries to the active plan's implementation log (e.g., docs/active-plans/v4/v4-implementation-log.md) after each coherent slice or wave. Past version logs are preserved under docs/archived-plans/ as historical records.
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.

3notch AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository coldlogicAI/3notch (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,609 tokens to every session, about $0.0064 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 2026-08-31.
