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 | $0.01739 | $0.01739 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00696 | $0.00696 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00348 | $0.00348 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00174 | $0.00174 |
Grade A, and why
dot 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 3d 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 — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md (Project)
This is fmind/dot — chezmoi + mise dotfiles for AI-CLI-first, Python-first development on Linux and macOS. Setup, usage, and common tasks live in README.md.
House rules
- Edit chezmoi sources, never deployed copies: change this repository, not files under
$HOME; automation always runschezmoi apply --force. Naming, templates, and secrets: chezmoi skill. - Match validation to the task: read-only reviews need only evidence checks; documentation and instruction edits need relevant formatting, links, and contract checks; behavior changes need focused regression tests and affected static checks. Run
mise run allfor cross-cutting changes, dependencies, packaging, releases, or explicit full qualification. Reuse passing results while relevant inputs remain unchanged. - Never commit decrypted secrets:
*.agefiles are encrypted; never store or commit decrypted secrets in the source tree. Native credentials are create-only seeds; scoped keys usedot secret run. Preserve account overrides and keep values out of diff/log output; Secret Management owns setup. - Never use sudo: stay user-space; install via
mise. - Choose global tools for agent coding: the global mise config (
dot_config/mise/config.toml) serves AI-agent coding: agent harnesses, external-service connectors, and cross-project CLIs that agents run. Keep human tools few and mostly for review (LazyVim, lazygit, Docker) plus the owner's shell picks. Pin every other tool in the project that needs it. Keep a project tool global only when it must work outside projects, such as the formatters and linters LazyVim runs on any file, and say why in its comment; a global copy never replaces the project's pin. - Lock tools with mise, never edit generated locks: use mise lockfile revision 3 for reproducible tool installs. Keep the global lockfile and its referenced native dependency files together; do not edit or format generated files.
mise run lockresolves the portable source baseline in isolation and captures its complete bundle;mise run fullinstalls with--locked. Python application dependencies remain locked indot/uv.lock. - Keep README for users; workflows go in skills: keep setup, auth, everyday usage, and a short task reference in
README.md; keep detailed contributor workflows in skills. - Pin themes to fmind/theme: fmind/theme owns the palette, native app files, and the
DESIGN.mddeployed to~/.agents/DESIGN.md. Fetch standalone themes via chezmoi externals pinned to one upstream commit with SHA-256 checksums (mise run upgradeadvances the pin); when tools require merged styles, copy only the native theme block with an upstream source comment. Terminal tools follow the Ghostty ANSI palette or select terminal-aligned themes. - Inherit terminal fonts from Ghostty: terminal apps inherit GoogleSansCode Nerd Font Mono from Ghostty.
- Enable Vim mode in every TUI that supports it.
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.

dot AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository fmind/dot (12 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 1,739 tokens to every session, about $0.0070 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
