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 | $0.02391 | $0.02391 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00956 | $0.00956 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00478 | $0.00478 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00239 | $0.00239 |
Grade A, and why
engineering-skills 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 14d 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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Universal entry point for AI coding agents working with this skill pack — Claude Code,
Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Continue, Cursor (agents mode), and any agent that reads
AGENTS.md.
Scope: This file orients agents using the
engineering-skillspack. The reusable assets are the skills underskills/; this file routes work to them and loads the shared discipline.
What this pack is
Skills organized by the software development lifecycle, including a meta router.
Each skill is a folder skills/<phase>/<name>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter (name,
description, optional disable-model-invocation) and four sections: When to use / Steps /
Verify / References. Encyclopedic data lives in per-skill references/ (progressive
disclosure).
Read the engineering principles first
Once per session, unless these rules are already loaded, read references/engineering-principles.md
(repo-relative path — resolves in every framework). It defines shared decision boundaries, scope discipline, verification, document consent and publication control.
Claude Code gets these injected automatically at session start (SessionStart hook). Other frameworks — read the file above once per session.
Intent → skill routing
When a task arrives, identify the phase and reach for the matching skill. If unsure, the
using-skills skill (in skills/meta/) maps the task to a phase.

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.

engineering-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository int2t05/engineering-skills (3 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,391 tokens to every session, about $0.0096 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.
