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 | $0.01919 | $0.01919 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00768 | $0.00768 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00384 | $0.00384 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00192 | $0.00192 |
Grade A, and why
tiding AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- Health check: `curl http://localhost:8920/health` How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tiding
Public repository — treat anything committed here as permanent and world-readable. Use placeholders for hosts, domains, personal paths and internal names, and run
scripts/repo-hygiene-check.shbefore committing (it must reportdenylist enforced; without a local.hygiene-denylistit does not check names).
Generic semantic memory service for AI agents. FastAPI + pgvector + in-process sentence-transformers embeddings.
Sources of Truth
BACKLOG.md(repo root) — the single source of truth for OPEN work. Lean ledger, open items only, written as if public (no completed items, no vuln detail, no PII/topology/client names). Standard:docs/backlog-standard.md. READ IT EVERY SESSION.- Journal → engram memory (
scope=project): completed-item stories (fix/<id>), decisions (decision/*), lessons (lesson/*, scope=shared), long item detail (backlog/<ID>), open-vuln repro detail (vuln/<ID>until shipped). Memory-first; no state files.
The Backlog — READ EVERY SESSION, SWEEP EVERY WRAPUP
BACKLOG.md is force-loaded each run. Triage every defect on discovery: BLOCKING (breaks build / wrong-or-harmful output / destroys data → fix now) vs DEGRADING (still does its job → add a ledger line and keep moving). If it's not in the ledger, it's not tracked. When idle, pull the top OPEN item. Done = delete the line in the same commit as the fix — never accumulate FIXED sections; the story goes to memory. Repo hygiene: scripts/repo-hygiene-check.sh must stay clean (assume-public doctrine).

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.
