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 | $0.02587 | $0.02587 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01035 | $0.01035 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00517 | $0.00517 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00259 | $0.00259 |
Grade A, and why
kition 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 today.
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 — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Kition Workspace Rules
Quality rules (read first)
- Tests are the spec. Read
QUALITY.mdand the feature catalogue (features.yaml) before changing behaviour. When code and a case disagree, the case wins unless the owner approves changing the case. - Before you finish any task, run
pnpm -s typecheck && pnpm -s lint. If it fails, the task is not done. Claude Code runs it for you through the Stop hook; agents without hooks (Codex) run it by hand and report the real exit code. - Never edit expected results to make a test pass: files under
cases/**/expected/, paths listed underprotectedinfeatures.yaml, and theexpected,tolerance,reference,inputandstepsof an existingcase.yaml. If you believe an expected result is wrong, stop and explain why in the task's findings; only the owner approves expected-result changes. - Never weaken a test to make it pass: no deleted or loosened assertions, no added
#[ignore],.skip,.onlyor.todo, no raised tolerances. kition-sdk'stools/check-expected.mjslists every such change for the owner. - Every bug fix starts with a failing case under
cases/regressions/issue-<n>/, then the fix. - Every new feature adds an entry to
features.yamland at least one golden case. - Put the task card id and the case ids in the commit message.
- Stage only your own files:
git addthem by name; nevergit commit -aorgit add -A. Other sessions may have uncommitted work in the same checkout. - Never touch
kition-slideor any worktree of it: do not change, build, or commit there. - No compatibility layers: no aliases, old names, old file suffixes, migrations, or readers for old formats. Delete a replaced path in the same change.
The product name is Kition (kition.ai). Never introduce any historical product name, slug, package name, module name, app ID, environment prefix, database name, or dotfile directory into code or documentation. The canonical identity contract lives in
openspec/specs/branding/.
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.
