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 | $0.00331 | $0.00331 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00132 | $0.00132 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00066 | $0.00066 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00033 |
Grade A, and why
llm-ide-rules terraform.instructions.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 8d 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
Terraform
- All "bootstrap" secrets required to run the terraform code should be
exported in the Justfile. The Justfile is guarded so agents cannot run it, ensuring that required secrets are not available to agents ensures that terraform cannot be run by an agent. - Don't add a
localsfor a variable only used a single time - Don't add
outputresources unless specifically asked - Use
~> 9.9.0style provider version pinning - Consult the terraform MCP when using an external module. Module surfaces change often.
- When creating a worker, always set the
compatibility_dateto the current date. - Add
# sourced from ENVfor anyvariablesourced from the ENV. - Uppercase all
TF_VAR_* - Put
localsat the top of the file - Reference Terraform-managed resources directly; add a data source only when a verified provider limitation requires it or the resource is managed elsewhere.
File Structure
mise.tomlopentofu, environment variables, and other configuration required for terraform.onepassword_secrets.tfextracts secrets from 1Password that are required to run the terraform code. Secrets should be pulled from here, and not ENV.providers.tfdefines the providers to use.variables.tfdefines "global" variables, including those sourced from the ENV.deployment_state.tfstores the terraform state in a remote bucket.Justfilecontains the commands to run the terraform code. Never run it directly.
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.
