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 | $0.00618 | $0.00618 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00309 | $0.00309 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00124 | $0.00124 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00062 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
encore-skills 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 — 24 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Available Skills
This project uses the encore-skills workflow library.
AGENTS.md has no file-import syntax, so skill instructions are NOT duplicated
here — skills/ stays the single source of truth. When a task matches a
skill's description below, open its SKILL.md at the given path and follow it
before proceeding.
Skills
| Skill | Path | When to use |
|---|---|---|
analyze-issue |
skills/analyze-issue/SKILL.md |
Read a GitLab issue, identify the root cause (not just symptoms), surface real risks, and produce an implementation approach before writing any code |
create-mr |
skills/create-mr/SKILL.md |
Create a GitLab Merge Request — clear title, high-level summary of what was changed and why, explicit confirmation the issue is resolved |
eng-workflow |
skills/eng-workflow/SKILL.md |
Full GitLab development loop — from issue to confirmed-resolved. Covers write-issue, analyze-issue, fix-issue, review-code, create-mr, summarize-issue, triage-issue, and post-merge verification. |
fix-issue |
skills/fix-issue/SKILL.md |
Implement a fix following the human-thinking loop — understand the root cause, plan the minimal change, implement, verify the problem is actually gone |
gitlab-config |
skills/gitlab-config/SKILL.md |
Wire up GitLab API access — multiple instances, project aliases, tokens. Run this once before any other GitLab skill. |
pm-workflow |
skills/pm-workflow/SKILL.md |
Full PM/designer loop — draft an issue, interact with users and stakeholders to validate it, refine until dev-ready, then finalize |
review-code |
skills/review-code/SKILL.md |
Pre-MR self-review — first confirm the problem is actually solved, then check for security, correctness, and simplicity |
summarize-issue |
skills/summarize-issue/SKILL.md |
After an issue is fixed and its MR is created, summarize the work in high-level markdown and post it as a comment on the GitLab issue |
triage-issue |
skills/triage-issue/SKILL.md |
Use when replying to comments on a GitLab issue, or when an issue has comments that might tag you or be waiting on your reply as assignee — figures out which comments genuinely need a response, drafts each reply grounded in the codebase, and posts after you confirm |
write-issue |
skills/write-issue/SKILL.md |
Turn a rough idea into a well-structured GitLab issue with clear problem statement, root cause, and testable acceptance criteria |
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.

encore-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository encoreshao/encore-skills (2 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 618 tokens to every session, about $0.0031 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
