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 | $0.00226 | $0.00226 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00090 | $0.00090 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00045 | $0.00045 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
agent-scripts 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 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.

AGENTS.md
Guidance for coding agents working in this repository.
Commits
- Do not commit, amend, or push without explicit user approval.
- Include the related GitHub issue number in commit messages when one is known.
Validation
- Static check: run
shellcheck --severity=warningonscripts/mvn-lite scripts/launch-browser scripts/html-screenshot scripts/repolink scripts/repo-map scripts/npm-lite scripts/go-lite tests/*.sh maintainers/bump-versionbefore finishing changes to those paths. Do not fold experimental trees underexperiments/into repo-wide validation. - Tests: run
./tests/test-versions.shfor version changes; run the full./tests/test-*.shsuite when ascripts/utility or the tests themselves change. - Experiments under
experiments/are self-contained: validate them with their local README/tests only. - Follow existing script style:
set -euo pipefail(orset -uo pipefailin tests), no comments unless requested,printfoverecho.
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.
