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 | $0.00593 | $0.00593 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00296 | $0.00296 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00119 | $0.00119 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00059 | $0.00059 |
Grade A, and why
legalwork 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 8d 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 — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
LegalWork helps users run agents, skills, and MCP. It is an open-source alternative to Claude Cowork/Codex as a desktop app.
What LegalWork Is
LegalWork is a practical control surface for agentic work:
- Run local and remote agent workflows from one place.
- Use OpenCode capabilities directly through LegalWork.
- Compose desktop app, server, and messaging connectors without lock-in.
- Treat the LegalWork app as a client of the LegalWork server API surface.
- Connect to hosted workers through a simple user flow:
Add a worker->Connect remote.
Core Philosophy
- Local-first, cloud-ready: LegalWork runs on your machine in one click and can connect to cloud workflows when needed.
- Server-consumption first: the app should consume LegalWork server surfaces (self-hosted or hosted), not invent parallel behavior.
- Composable: use the desktop app, WhatsApp/Slack/Telegram connectors, or server mode based on the task.
- Ejectable: LegalWork is powered by OpenCode, so anything OpenCode can do is available in LegalWork, even before a dedicated UI exists.
- Sharing is caring: start solo, then share quickly; one CLI or desktop command can spin up an instantly shareable instance.
Pull Request Expectations (Fast Merge)
If you open a PR, you must run tests and report what you ran (commands + result).
To maximize merge speed, include evidence of the end-to-end flow:
- Ideally: attach a short video/screen recording showing the flow running successfully.
- Otherwise: screenshots are acceptable, but video is preferred.
If you cannot run tests or capture the video, say so explicitly and explain why, and include the exact commands/steps for the reviewer to reproduce.
Coding Guidelines
TypeScript
- Never use
any, typecasts, oras, unless 100% necessary or specifically instructed.
Package Managers
- Use pnpm.
- Never use npm or yarn.
UI and UX
- Use components from @/components when possible.
- When creating new components, we prefer using shadcn/ui with (Base UI).
- Assume most end users of LegalWork are non-technical.
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.
