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 | $0.02338 | $0.02338 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01169 | $0.01169 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00468 | $0.00468 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00234 | $0.00234 |
Grade A, and why
heurist-finance 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 11d 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 — 189 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Heurist Finance
Agent-driven financial research terminal. A Heurist Mesh marketplace skill that turns any AI agent into a sell-side research desk with a Bloomberg-style TUI.

The agent is the orchestrator. It reads SKILL.md for identity and protocol, routes to a sub-skill, calls MCP tools for live data, and either POSTs rendered blocks to the TUI or outputs markdown directly.
Boundaries
What this repo contains:
- Skill instructions that control agent behavior (
SKILL.md,skills/*/SKILL.md) - TUI server and renderer (
terminal/) - Visual components — pure functions that produce ANSI output (
src/components/) - Data shape schemas for panel validation (
terminal/schemas/) - ANSI primitives, formatters, themes, markdown renderer (
src/) - CLI tools (
bin/) - Tests (colocated
*.test.jsfiles, run withvitest)
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.
