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 | $0.05241 | $0.05241 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02096 | $0.02096 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01048 | $0.01048 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00524 | $0.00524 |
Grade A, and why
codex-usage-tracker 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 2mo 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.

Codex Usage Tracker Instructions
Product and authority
This repository is replacing the released 0.28 spike with a clean, local, Codex-first workflow-observability kernel. The kernel owns exact facts, identity, ordering, deduplication, calculations, freshness, coverage, allowance, valuation, bounded queries, and stable evidence. The consuming model owns interpretation, hypotheses, prioritization, caveats, and recommendations.
Start at docs/INDEX.md. The only implementation roadmap is
docs/roadmap/AGENT_FIRST_CLEAN_CUTOVER.md; its checkbox ledger is
docs/roadmap/TASK_PACKETS.md. The remaining dependency graph, delegation
readiness, ownership locks, and allowed parallelism are controlled by
docs/roadmap/REMAINING_EXECUTION_PLAN.md. Each delegable unit has one file
under docs/roadmap/tasks/. Archived documents and historical release notes
are evidence, not authority.
CK-07C additionally owns
docs/architecture/PLAN_OPERAND_AND_FACT_CONTRACT.md and the versioned
config/agent-kernel/plan-operand-contract-v1.json. CK-07D merged the
effective-dated rate-card valuation correction at e49531b. CK-07E is the
admitted test-only prerequisite for independent structural and query-only
database-v1 fact adapters. CK-07A consumed CK-07B through CK-07E and is
complete with 80 / 80 structural-v2 variants requalified. CK-08 is complete on
merge with all 21 plans and 42 variants qualified as fact-backed mechanism
evidence. A downstream architecture audit found that the expected-answer lane
shares production evaluation, runtime keyset pagination follows complete
Python materialization, projection classification combines execution stages,
and publication/evidence scale plus replacement maintainability need
corrective proof. CK-08R0 froze corrective-gates-v1; CK-08R2 is complete and
CK-09 remains blocked. CK-08R1A froze corrected answer meaning and recursive
closure; R1C is accepted at exact main fb0c578, and R1B is accepted at exact
main 9e9332b3. Final R1 requalification passed hosted CI in PR #439,
squash-merged, and was exact-main verified at 0832b854. CK-07R1's separate
post-terminal roadmap completion makes CK-08R4 the sole Ready packet while
CK-08RG and CK-09 remain blocked.
CK-QG1A removed the two R2 page-executor complexity findings without changing
behavior or the frozen baseline and is accepted at exact main 30983d4;
QG1 PR #392 passed hosted CI, squash-merged, and was exact-main verified at
68050b93. CK-07R1A corrected
the exact hosted Python 3.14 lifecycle-tail blocker; the linked CK-07R1A0
authorities, including argv correction, are merged through 479cbdb.
Coordinator disposition and clean exact-main reapplication from 6c08ecd9
derived the exact 66c015de… / f108dbb4… / 4c514889… candidate cohort.
The versioned
shared-successor-overlay-authority-v1
preserves accepted CK-08R1B, CK-08R1, and CK-QG1 bytes while admitting only
that complete cohort as CK-07 worker_prequalification.
The sole CK-07R1 v2 launch is terminal failed_after_launch; its token is
consumed and non-refundable, no planner-valid receipt or output exists, and no
retry, restart, replacement, or further invocation is permitted. PR #448
merged the exact deterministic planner-selected small/large correction and
immutable v1/v2 terminal evidence at exact main 1d0466b1. The additive
lifecycle-post-terminal-completion-authority-v1
accepts that merged deterministic evidence only for CK-07R1 roadmap dependency
completion. It permanently records runtime_acceptance=not_claimed,
planner-valid receipt absent, post_single_run unavailable, and
final_accepted unavailable. It neither reclassifies the failed run nor
changes production semantics. CK-08R4 must independently measure current
merged publication behavior and must not claim the missing CK-07R1 runtime
acceptance. PR #394 remains stale failed read-only.
Retained R3 evidence proved the EvidenceService outer query
physically unbounded; CK-08R3A owns that isolated fix and R3 awaits its
accepted, merged, exact-main-verified result.
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.

codex-usage-tracker AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository douglasmonsky/codex-usage-tracker (196 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,241 tokens to every session, about $0.0210 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
