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 | $0.02418 | $0.02418 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00967 | $0.00967 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00484 | $0.00484 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00242 | $0.00242 |
Grade A, and why
github-template-ai-agents 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 2d 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 — 185 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Process modes
This repository uses Full (template maintainer) policy. Downstream product repositories should choose Minimal or Standard and rewrite this file for their stack.
| Profile | Default mode | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Minimal (adopter) | Light | Product instructions, relevant checks, basic CI |
| Standard (adopter) | Light | Minimal + selected skills and agent workflows |
| Full (current repository) | Full | Template orchestration, generators, metrics/DORA, CI-status maintenance |
Light: understand → change → verify → report. Commit/PR steps apply only when
requested. Architectural changes still need a proportionate plan and decision
record; they do not require adopting the entire Full telemetry/automation stack.
See agents-docs/ADOPTION_PROFILES.md for downstream cleanup and optional packs.
Planning & Delegation
- Route: retrieval (
delegate) → planning (goap-agentwhen complex) → implementation (implementer) → verification (test-runner/code-review-assistant). Parallelize independent work, not dependent stages. - Small fixes/docs: use a short plan and relevant checks; no new ADR or tests just for ceremony.
- Architecture, new subsystems, or broad refactors: use
triz-solver, record the decision in aplans/ADR, obtain approval, then decompose with GOAP before implementation. - Full: keep
plans/GOAP_STATE.mdcurrent and capture reusable discoveries withlearn. - Check branch/upstream state before work; do not pull over local changes. Full CI-status is an advisory signal, not a merge gate:
passing/failing/unknown; a required job that did not run is not proof of success. Confirm the actual run. Contract:agents-docs/CI_STATUS.md. - Team/worktree patterns:
agents-docs/AGENT_TEAMS_GUIDE.md.
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.
