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 | $0.01365 | $0.01365 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00546 | $0.00546 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00273 | $0.00273 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00136 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
commander 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 5d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — CC Commander
Instructions for Codex (and any agent that reads AGENTS.md) working in this repository. Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md; both describe the same project and rules.
What this repository is
CC Commander is a PM and orchestration layer for Claude Code and Codex. The primary product is the Claude plugin in commander/cowork-plugin/ (skills, agents, hooks, rules, menus, workflows, mods). The Codex plugin in commander/cowork-plugin-codex/ is generated from it. The CLI toolkit lives in commander/ and bin/.
- Version:
package.json. Release history:CHANGELOG.md. Current skill, agent, and hook sets: read the source directories andcommander/contract.json; never copy counts into prose. - Platform facts (model ids, hook events, frontmatter keys, Codex CLI surface):
docs/reference/platform-facts-2026-10.md. Do not introduce a fact that is not there. - Prompt standard for every skill, agent, rule, menu, and template:
docs/PROMPT-STANDARD.md. Run its §5 checklist on any prompt file you change.

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.
