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 | $0.01581 | $0.01581 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00632 | $0.00632 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00316 | $0.00316 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00158 | $0.00158 |
Grade A, and why
ralph-gold 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 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.
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.

Repository Guidelines
ralph-gold is a uv-first Python CLI orchestrator for deterministic multi-agent work loops with durable filesystem state.
Mandatory workflow snippet
- Explore project first, then invoke skill.
- IMPORTANT: Prefer retrieval-led reasoning over pre-training-led reasoning for any React, Tauri, Apps-SDK-ui, Tailwind, Vite, Storybook + Chat Widget tasks.
- Add a Table of Contents for docs.
Required essentials
- Package manager:
uv. - Non-standard build/typecheck commands: none.
- Default compatibility posture: canonical-only.
Tooling essentials
- Run shell commands with
zsh -lc. - Prefer
rg,fd, andjqfor search, file discovery, and JSON. - Before choosing tools, read
/Users/jamiecraik/.codex/instructions/tooling.md. - Ask before adding dependencies or system settings.
- Execution mode: single-threaded by default; do not parallelize or spawn subagents unless explicitly requested.
References (informational)
- Global protocol index:
/Users/jamiecraik/.codex/AGENTS.md - Security baseline:
/Users/jamiecraik/.codex/instructions/standards.md - RVCP source of truth:
/Users/jamiecraik/.codex/instructions/rvcp-common.md
Global discovery order
/Users/jamiecraik/.codex/AGENTS.md- Nearest repo
AGENTS.md - Linked instruction files
- If conflicts appear, pause and ask which instruction wins
Documentation map
Table of Contents
Local Memory usage
- Follow
/Users/jamiecraik/.codex/instructions/local-memory.md. - Mandatory workflow before durable notes:
bootstrap(mode="minimal", include_questions=true, session_id="repo:<name>:task:<id>")search(query="...", session_id="repo:<name>:task:<id>")
- Store durable facts only; never store secrets, tokens, keys, or PII.
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.

ralph-gold AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository jscraik/ralph-gold (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,581 tokens to every session, about $0.0063 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 2026-08-31.
