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 | $0.00886 | $0.00886 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00354 | $0.00354 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00177 | $0.00177 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00089 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
dotnet-sherlock-mcp 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 22d 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions
- Multi-targets .NET 8, 9 and 10; nullable enabled, implicit usings on; prefer file‑scoped namespaces.
- Indentation: 4 spaces; wrap at ~120 chars where practical.
- Naming: PascalCase for types/methods/properties; camelCase for locals/parameters; interfaces start with
I. - Prefer expression-bodied members when clear; use named parameters when argument meaning isn’t obvious.
- Keep code self‑documenting; avoid redundant inline comments. Braces optional for single‑line blocks if readability holds.
Whitespace & Formatting
- Use a single blank line between the
usingblock and the file‑scopednamespace. - Use a single blank line after the file‑scoped
namespacebefore the first type/member. - Keep exactly one blank line between consecutive members inside a type (methods, properties, events, nested types) to separate logical units.
- Within longer methods, group related steps and separate them with a single blank line (setup, processing, return) — no multiple consecutive blank lines.
- Ensure files end with a trailing newline; avoid trailing whitespace on lines.
- Maintain one top‑level type per file; nested types are allowed within their parent file.
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.
