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 | $0.01865 | $0.01865 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00746 | $0.00746 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00373 | $0.00373 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00186 | $0.00186 |
Grade A, and why
alpacalyzer-algo-trader 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.
How it starts

Quick Start
# 1. Install dependencies
uv sync
# 2. Setup environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with required API keys:
# - ALPACA_API_KEY (Alpaca API)
# - ALPACA_SECRET_KEY (Alpaca secret)
# - LLM_API_KEY (OpenAI-compatible LLM provider, e.g., OpenRouter)
# 3. Start development
uv run alpacalyzer --analyze # Analysis mode (no real trades)
uv run alpacalyzer # Full trading mode
🎯 Golden Rules
- GitHub Issue First - No work without an issue. Create one if missing.
- Tests Before Code - Write tests first, then implement.
- One Issue Per Session - Each worktree session handles exactly ONE issue. Never start a new issue in the same session.
- One Thing At A Time - Single feature per PR, focused commits.
- No Secrets - Use environment variables, never hardcode credentials.
- Debug Efficiently - Run tests once, save output, analyze. Never run full test suite repeatedly.
See docs/dev/tdd-flow.md for detailed workflow. For code invariants, see docs/principles.md.

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.
