Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.
npx agentmods add instructions/evanlong-me/model-usage/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/evanlong-me/model-usageWhat it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.01868 | $0.01868 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00934 | $0.00934 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00374 | $0.00374 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00187 | $0.00187 |
Grade A, and why
model-usage 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 2d 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Model Usage
Zero-config CLI for analyzing AI model usage & costs across all local TUI tools — pi, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and more.

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.
- 2d ago First seen · 180 lines · 1,868 tokens per session scan A a0e2ab654450
model-usage AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository evanlong-me/model-usage (21 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,868 tokens to every session, about $0.0093 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 2026-08-30.
