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 | $0.00246 | $0.00246 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00098 | $0.00098 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00049 | $0.00049 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
AgentX memory.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 15d 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
Cross-Session Memory
At Session Start
Use supplied notes first; read only missing task-relevant memory. Do not reload
all notes each turn. Missing memory does not block work. /memories/ belongs to
the host memory tool, not an assumed filesystem root.
During Work
Save verified decisions and pitfalls, not tool transcripts. Read the target before writing; deduplicate and preserve concurrent edits. Keep repository facts in repo memory, preferences in user memory, and temporary progress in session memory.
At Session End
Verify each save before claiming "saved". On failure/timeout, allow at most one bounded retry after diagnosis, never an unchanged retry loop. Defer optional memory and continue authorized work. Do not bypass storage restrictions.
AGENTS.md still governs required Compound Capture: use a repository learning
artifact when host memory is unavailable, without inventing success or a skip.
lessons promote explicitly promotes artifacts; it does not replace host saves.
Memory File Format
Use short factual bullets with a date and evidence/source; label uncertainty.
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.
