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 | $0.00485 | $0.00485 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00243 | $0.00243 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00097 | $0.00097 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00049 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
llm-skill 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 7d 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
AGENTS.md — Codex entrypoint
This is the Codex runtime boot file for the
llm-skillproject. It is a thin shell. All routing, contract, and lifecycle rules live inAGENT.md. Do not add domain knowledge here.
What Codex should do on load
- Treat
AGENT.mdas the single source of truth. Read it first. - Route via
AGENT.md§2 Skill Registry. Do not scanskills/directly. - Respect the Execute → Distill → Guide loop defined in
AGENT.md§1. - Language: the default
SKILL.mdis English. If the user writes in Chinese, preferSKILL_zh.mdwhen it exists.
Install (Codex CLI)
The repo is drop-in for Codex. From the target workspace:
# Option A: use this repo as the project root
git clone <this-repo-url> .
# Option B: mount into an existing project
git clone <this-repo-url> .codex-skills
ln -s .codex-skills/AGENT.md ./AGENT.md
ln -s .codex-skills/AGENTS.md ./AGENTS.md
ln -s .codex-skills/skills ./skills
Then validate:
bash install.sh # verifies layout
python3 scripts/validate.py
Codex will pick up AGENTS.md automatically at session start.
Minimal contract for Codex
- Read:
AGENT.md, chosenskills/<name>/SKILL.md(lazy). - Write:
skills/<name>/SKILL.mdonly viadistill;AGENT.mdonly viaguide. - Never: write domain knowledge into
AGENTS.mditself.

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.
