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 | $0.00857 | $0.00857 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00343 | $0.00343 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00086 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
maui-labs dependencies.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 1mo 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dependencies and Supply Chain
This repo ships. JavaScript here is not throwaway tooling — the DevFlow Inspector client and VS Code host are packaged and distributed, so a vulnerable transitive dependency reaches users.
Non-negotiable: audit before you open the PR
If your change adds, removes, or updates any npm dependency — including an indirect change caused by regenerating a lockfile — run this before opening the PR:
node eng/scripts/audit-npm.mjs
It audits every npm project in the repo and verifies each is registered in
.github/dependabot.yml:
| Exit | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 |
Every project verified clean |
1 |
high/critical advisories, an unregistered project, or a missing lockfile |
2 |
A project could not be checked against the advisory database |
All three must be resolved before the PR goes up. If you are offline, --allow-unverified
downgrades exit 2 to a warning — but CI never passes that flag, so an unverifiable project
still fails there.
Do not skip this because "it's only a devDependency". devDependencies still execute on
developer machines and CI runners with repo credentials in scope, and they still land in
package-lock.json, which is what advisory scanners read.
If it reports vulnerabilities
cd <reported-directory>
npm audit fix # add --force ONLY if you then verify the build and tests still pass
npm ci && npm test # confirm the fix did not break anything
Commit the updated package-lock.json. Remediation is required — there is no "document it
and move on" path, because the check stays red and would block every later dependency PR.
If no upstream fix exists, raise it with a maintainer and agree an explicit decision (drop the
package, vendor a patch, or consciously change the threshold); do not leave the PR red and
unexplained.
If it says a project "could NOT be verified"
That is not a pass, and it exits 2. npm audit exits non-zero both for real findings and
for an unreachable registry, so an unverified project means you have no signal at all. Re-run
once you have network access.
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.
