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 | $0.02219 | $0.02219 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00888 | $0.00888 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00444 | $0.00444 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00222 | $0.00222 |
Grade A, and why
qi CLAUDE.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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
qi — Agent Guidance
This file is the canonical guidance for AI coding agents working in this repo. AGENTS.md is a symlink to it, so Claude Code, Codex, and other agents read the same instructions.
Project Overview
qi is a local-first knowledge search CLI for macOS and Linux. It indexes documents (Markdown, plaintext) into a SQLite database and provides BM25 full-text search and vector search (with local embedding providers).
Working Style
- Treat requests for action as instructions to complete the work. Do not stop at acknowledging the request, proposing a plan, or offering to continue.
- Infer routine details from the request, repository context, and existing conventions. Make reasonable assumptions and persist until the intended outcome is complete.
- Before asking a clarifying question, finish the work already authorized by context and make any remaining decision concrete and reviewable. Ask only when the answer could materially change the result.
- Explicit user instructions take precedence over guidance in a skill. If a skill causes work to pause, remain unfinished, or diverge from the request, identify the exact skill instruction and explain how it applies.
- Do not add unsolicited warnings, approval steps, or checklists for hypothetical risks.
Communication
- State the outcome or main point early. Use concise paragraphs with one main idea each.
- Prefer plain language and active voice. Include technical detail only when it helps the reader understand or verify the work.
- Use lists for genuinely parallel or sequential information and avoid unnecessary nesting, tables, headings, and repeated summaries.
- Avoid canned phrases, invented labels, and contrastive framing that introduces alternatives the user did not ask about.
Delegation
- When the runtime and user instructions allow subagents, delegate independent work that can run in parallel and would materially save time or improve quality.
- Keep small or tightly coupled changes with one agent. Give delegated tasks clear boundaries, review their results, and integrate them into one coherent answer.
- Write inter-agent messages clearly because a person may read them.
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.

qi CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository itsmostafa/qi (44 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,219 tokens to every session, about $0.0089 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 2026-08-30.
