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 | $0.04978 | $0.04978 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01991 | $0.01991 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00996 | $0.00996 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00498 | $0.00498 |
Grade C, and why
minimal AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 yesterday.
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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
`rm -rf .scratch` wholesale). How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 347 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Orientation for coding agents and contributors working in this repository.
Tool-neutral and canonical: tool-specific instruction files (e.g.
CLAUDE.md) include or link this document rather than restating it.
Orientation
Minimal is a declarative, content-addressed package/build system plus a session plane for sandboxed development environments. The system is two cooperating planes: the build plane (declarative packages → dependency graph → sandboxed builds → content-addressed cache) and the session plane (long-lived isolated dev environments, natively on Linux or inside a libkrun microVM). Start with docs/architecture.md.
The workspace builds min, mip, minimald, and minvmd:
| Binary | Role | Reference |
|---|---|---|
min |
Session CLI (built from the minimal crate; its [[bin]] target is min) |
docs/reference/cli-min.md |
mip |
Package/build CLI | docs/reference/cli-mip.md |
minimald |
Session daemon: SSH server hosting sessions and task/sandbox executions | docs/reference/cli-minimald.md |
minvmd |
MicroVM host daemon: boots Linux guests via libkrun, bridges host UDS to in-VM vsock | docs/reference/cli-minvmd.md |
The CLI reference overview is docs/reference/cli.md.
Workspace crates
Run just crates to print the workspace's crates with their descriptions. Use
it when you need to know which crate is responsible for something, or where a
change belongs.
docs/architecture.md §0 splits the crates into core crates and the product surface, and §3 adds which plane each crate belongs to (build, session, shared).
When you change a crate's scope, update its Cargo.toml description too, so
this information stays current.
Naming: box, Box Type, sandbox
Use these terms in code, comments, docs and commit messages. The BOX spec
(docs/specs/29-spec-box-local-first)
plans the box model they describe. That spec defines the Box Types and the
spec settings. Today the tree has BoxId and BoxRecord, and minimald
still branches on session or task. The rest of this section is the target
for new code.
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.

minimal AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository gominimal/minimal (226 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 4,978 tokens to every session, about $0.0199 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
