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 | $0.00328 | $0.00328 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00131 | $0.00131 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00066 | $0.00066 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00033 |
Grade A, and why
SkillCompass 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.
What it actually says
Agent Instructions
This file exists so agentic tools have a repository-local instruction entry point.
For the full contributor guide, workflow, and repo structure, read CONTRIBUTING.md.
Required Rules
- Branch names: ASCII only,
kebab-case(e.g.,fix/d5-delta-override,feat/d6-rubric-band). No spaces, no non-Latin characters. - PR titles: ASCII only. Keep under 70 characters. Use the description/body for details.
- Commit messages: ASCII only. Follow conventional commit format (
fix:,feat:,docs:,refactor:,chore:). - Code and technical files (
.js,.ts,.json,.yml, schemas): English only. No non-English comments, identifiers, or string literals. - User-facing templates in
SKILL.mdandcommands/*.md: English only at rest. Claude detects the user's locale at runtime and translates at display time perSKILL.md's Global UX Rules. - Runtime i18n resources (
oc/src/locale.ts): the one place localized message catalogs live. Add new locales here. - Test fixtures: stored in a separate repo. Fetch with
npm run fetch-fixtures. May contain any language.
Source of Truth
Keep this file aligned with the "Naming & Language Conventions" section in CONTRIBUTING.md.
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.
