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 | $0.00282 | $0.00282 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00113 | $0.00113 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00056 | $0.00056 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00028 |
Grade A, and why
hope 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 29d 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.
What it actually says
AI work instructions
Follow CONTRIBUTING.md for required reading, verification, release preparation, and submission.
Carry an action request through to its intended result. Use the conversation's existing decisions and authorization; choose routine, reversible details without asking again. Ask only when missing information changes the result or an action needs authority the person has not given. Continue independent, authorized work while an answer is pending.
Explicit user instructions take precedence over Skill guidance. If a Skill would pause or redirect authorized work, first check whether that rule applies. When it does, quote and link the exact instruction and explain the remaining decision. Prepare the authorized work so any needed approval concerns a concrete, reviewable result.
Apply the shared writing standard. Invoke Hope skills when the person explicitly selects them, with two exceptions: PR Writing applies when drafting or updating PR/MR titles and descriptions, including during an authorized submission workflow; it calls Write through their public handoff. Keep updates and results concise; report the change, relevant evidence, and any verification gap.
These collaboration rules draw on the GPT-6 Astra prompting guide.
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.
