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 | $0.03812 | $0.03812 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01525 | $0.01525 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00762 | $0.00762 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00381 | $0.00381 |
Grade A, and why
direct 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 1mo 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
- Ordinary owned automated browser runs use versioned Chrome for Testing or the browser provisioned for the pinned Playwright version. Reject the installed auto-updating Chrome application, including explicit executable overrides and symlinks; never fall back to it when provisioning is missing. Report the resolved executable and browser version, and close owned contexts and browsers gracefully in cleanup. Attaching to an explicitly authorized user-owned browser is a separate operation: preserve its profile and lifetime. Keep regression checks for browser selection in the existing required checks; see browser automation.
- Never start the system Chrome app directly from an agent shell; use the repository's browser tooling and respect its scheduler and browser custody controls. For owned launches, pass
--mute-audioand mergePaintHolding,MacAppCodeSignCloneinto any existing--disable-featuresvalue instead of adding a second switch. Finish owned process, context, and profile cleanup before releasing the browser lane. Never signal another holder or manipulate its lease to obtain a slot. - The sole native-runtime exception is Slopcamera’s documented signature-verified, version-bound, immutable task-owned Chrome snapshot, never a direct launch of the installed application. Its current integrity-bound launch contract must disable
MacAppCodeSignClone; retain vendor identity verification, browser custody, graceful cleanup, and regression checks. Qualify the native fix with live clone-growth and cleanup evidence before activating this exception. It is not an executable override or fallback for ordinary automation; see the native-runtime exception.

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.

direct AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository hraness/direct (2 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,812 tokens to every session, about $0.0152 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 2026-08-31.
