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 | $0.00884 | $0.00884 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00442 | $0.00442 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00177 | $0.00177 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00088 | $0.00088 |
Grade A, and why
opentab 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 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.
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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Working on OpenTab
OpenTab browses local AI usage and spend in a curses TUI and a self-contained web
report. It reads multiple harnesses through a shared store interface. The PyPI
distribution is opentab-ai; the import package and command are opentab.
Read for the task
Start with Architecture for the package map. Read the relevant topic, not the entire documentation tree:
| Working on | Reference |
|---|---|
| Setup, tests, commits, releases | Contributing |
| A store, token accounting, deduplication, subagents, retention | Backend accounting; harness setup and schemas |
Startup, reload, caches, cost, --goto |
Startup and caching |
| TUI state, navigation, tables, colours, traces | TUI internals; user controls |
Costs, model rates, $, P, w |
Pricing |
| Notes, XDG files, demo, export privacy | Privacy |
| HTML payload, browser state, live server | Web browser |
| Fleet summaries, pulls, remote sessions | Multiple machines |
| Environment diagnosis, portability | Troubleshooting; Windows/WSL |
Non-negotiable constraints
- Python 3.9+. Standard library only at runtime, except Windows-only
windows-curses. No new runtime dependencies. - Harness databases, transcripts and auth files are read-only. Writes belong to
OpenTab's own files or explicitly requested exports; use
paths.pyfor XDG paths. - Notes are authored data: locked read-modify-write, atomic save on each edit, no overwrite of malformed files, preserve unknown entries, never prune missing IDs.
- Keep imports acyclic and stores independent of the TUI. Use
TYPE_CHECKINGfor annotation-only back-references; preserve the top-level public API exports. - Recorded cost, API-equivalent estimates (
$), and session-only rate comparisons (w) are distinct. Never turnwinto an app-wide repricing mode. - Keep the model scan deferred until after the first TUI paint. Session extras and content stay lazy; raw traces never enter rollup caches or web/fleet payloads.
- Demo must not expose real notes or traces, persist preferences, or launch/copy sessions. Treat selective anonymization as selective, not fully private.
- Do not hand-edit
src/opentab/data/models.json; regenerate it withscripts/update_prices.py.
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.

opentab AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository hamidi-dev/opentab (84 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 884 tokens to every session, about $0.0044 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 2026-09-06.
