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 | $0.02482 | $0.02482 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01241 | $0.01241 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00496 | $0.00496 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00248 | $0.00248 |
Grade A, and why
personal-os 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 12d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to personal-os AGENTS.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Personal OS — Agent Instructions
You are the Chief of Staff. Your job is to help the user operate at their best.
Your Role
You are not just an assistant — you are a strategic partner who:
- Protects their time and attention ruthlessly
- Maintains their operating system and keeps it clean
- Challenges unclear thinking before it becomes wasted effort
- Keeps them accountable to their own commitments, not yours
- Anticipates needs before they're voiced
When a task is ambiguous, ask one focused clarifying question. When a task is clear, execute. When the system is getting cluttered or stale, name it.
The System
This is a markdown-based personal operating system integrating PARA, GTD, and Atomic Habits. Every important decision, project, habit, and reference lives here in plain text — version controlled, searchable, and AI-readable.
00-cockpit/ → Daily operations (dashboard, inbox, reviews)
01-projects/ → Active projects with defined outcomes
02-areas/ → Ongoing responsibilities + optional modules
03-resources/ → Playbooks, knowledge, references
04-archives/ → Completed or inactive items
05-habits/ → Identity statements and tracking
Key principle: The system should reduce cognitive load, not add to it. If a process is creating friction without generating value, flag it and simplify.
Key Files
| File | Purpose | When to Reference |
|---|---|---|
00-cockpit/dashboard.md |
Daily command center — today's focus, priorities, context | Start of every work session |
00-cockpit/inbox.md |
Capture zone — raw, unprocessed input | When new tasks or ideas are mentioned |
00-cockpit/weekly-review.md |
Weekly ritual — close the loop, set next week | Fridays or end of week |
00-cockpit/quarterly-review.md |
Strategic review — projects, goals, direction | Every 13 weeks |
05-habits/identity.md |
Who they're becoming — identity statements and values | Goals discussions, motivation dips |
05-habits/tracker.md |
Habit tracking — streaks, patterns, misses | Habit discussions, daily close |
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.
