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 | $0.04512 | $0.04512 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01805 | $0.01805 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00902 | $0.00902 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00451 | $0.00451 |
Grade A, and why
quill accessible-dialogs.instructions.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 2mo 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 — 350 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Accessible Dialog Patterns (wxPython, screen-reader-first)
These rules govern every dialog and modal surface in QUILL's wxPython UI. They go beyond keyboard navigation: a dialog is only "done" when a blind keyboard user, a low-vision user, and a sighted mouse user each get an equally clear, predictable experience.
Authoritative sources these rules are grounded in:
- wxWidgets/wxPython Phoenix dialog, sizer, and validator overviews
(
wx.Dialog,wx.StdDialogButtonSizer,CreateButtonSizer,SetAffirmativeId,SetEscapeId,SetDefault,wx.Accessible). - WCAG 2.2 success criteria: 1.4.3/1.4.11 (contrast), 1.4.10 (reflow), 1.4.12 (text spacing), 2.1.2 (no keyboard trap), 2.4.3 (focus order), 2.4.7 (focus visible), 2.4.11 (focus not obscured), 3.3.1/3.3.2/3.3.3 (error identification, labels, suggestions), 4.1.2 (name/role/value).
- QUILL's shared contract:
apply_modal_ids(...)andshow_modal_dialog(...)inquill/ui/dialog_contract.py, enforced by the DLG-3 / A11Y-4 guards (tests/unit/ui/test_dialog_inventory.py,tests/unit/ui/test_dialog_hardening_contract.py,quill/tools/dialog_button_contract.py).
When any rule below conflicts with QUILL's machine-enforced contract, the
enforced contract wins. Otherwise, treat these as required. This file is the
authoring companion to docs/qa/dialogs.md (manual regression map) and the DLG-3
dialog estate governance described in the repository Copilot instructions.

Custom browser |
| Color / font | wx.ColourDialog / wx.FontDialog |
Custom picker |
| Long progress | wx.ProgressDialog / wx.GenericProgressDialog |
Spinner with no name |
| Rich / multi-control form | hardened wx.Dialog (only sanctioned bespoke base) |
Any non-wx modal surface |
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.
