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 | $0.18994 | $0.18994 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.07598 | $0.07598 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.03799 | $0.03799 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01899 | $0.01899 |
Grade C, and why
curie AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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 today.
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.

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

AGENTS.md - Curie
Public information boundary — applies before every publication. Never put real customer or downstream deployment information into this public upstream repository or its public records. This includes files, commit messages, branch and tag names, PRs, issues, comments, releases, and CI logs or artifacts. Use anonymous roles and obvious placeholders, including when explaining a fix, citing a live test, or recording provenance. Review the exact outgoing content before committing, pushing, or posting; a green secret scan is not clearance. See "This repo is PUBLIC" below for the full rule.
Agent instructions for this repo. Curie turns agents into co-workers that run
in the user's infrastructure. The Software Factory
is the first developer adoption path; the SRE example
and supported custom bundles use the same platform.
Read README.md for the product entry points,
docs/co-workers.md for the shared collaboration model,
and docs/capabilities.md before making support claims.
Read ARCHITECTURE.md before touching a cross-component
seam. It maps the message flow (Slack mention -> dispatcher -> worker -> sandbox
-> runner -> Slack reply) and deployment flow (git push -> webhook -> bundle
pipeline -> deployment). Relay is the project codename; curie is the product
surface name (bot handle, CLI binary). llms.txt is the curated
machine map. This file is for an agent working on this repository; an agent
driving Curie (a released binary or someone else's bundle) wants
docs/agents.md, the verification contract that names the exact
command proving each outcome.
The same immutable bundle and evals/cases.json across skill, local, and
cluster support the developer's test and deployment loop. Environment parity
helps expose deployment differences; it cannot guarantee model behavior under
production traffic. The architecture's parity reference
retains the technical rationale behind that commitment.
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.

curie AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository curie-eng/curie (37 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 18,994 tokens to every session, about $0.0760 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (hidden instructions, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
