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 | $0.01710 | $0.01710 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00684 | $0.00684 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00342 | $0.00342 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
Grade A, and why
adminforth 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 7d 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Package manager
All packages and projects in this repo use pnpm and not npm.
Howeverer internally (e.g. in codeInjector) adminforth still supports both npm and pnpm style install commands, so users of framework itself can use it with either package manager. But in all dev demo/live demo, plugins, adapters, and documentation, we use pnpm as the standard.
SPA build folder
Never patch anything in spa_tmp (e.g. /tmp/adminforth/<app>/spa_tmp): no file edits, no pnpm install, no own vite or other commands there. codeInjector generates it from adminforth/spa and the custom components of the app and its plugins, a manual install there drops the packages it adds for plugins. After a change in spa/package.json or spa/tailwind.config.js the running app breaks until a restart, tell the user to restart it.
Dev demo login
To log in to the local dev-demo (http://localhost:3123) use agent as username and agent as password. The user is created on start and is exempt from 2FA. Do not use adminforth, it may have 2FA set up in the local database.
Package names rules
All adapters and plugins always have @adminforth/ prefix in their package name, followed by short lowercase kebab-case plugin/adpater slug.
Every plugin has at least one Docusaurus docs page, which should use the path /docs/tutorial/Plugins/<plugin-slug>/.
Same for adapters, but with /docs/tutorial/Adapters/<adapter-slug>/ path.
Page names in docusarus should be human readabale. We should not use AuditLog but instead we should have Audit Log via whitespace.
Design system
UI rules (tokens, af-/afcl- class contract, AFCL first, Lucide icons, moving off flowbite) live in Design concepts, read them before changing UI in core or plugins. States and variants of components are drawn in adminforth/design/system.html, the progress of core and plugins is in adminforth/design/adoption.md.
Commits
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.
