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 | $0.02076 | $0.02076 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01038 | $0.01038 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00415 | $0.00415 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00208 | $0.00208 |
Grade A, and why
litestar-skills 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 9d 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
litestar-skills Agent Context
This file is loaded by every AI agent CLI that consumes this repo: Claude Code, Antigravity CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, VS Code/Copilot, and others supporting the agentskills.io standard.
Mission
litestar-skills is a curated, opinionated collection of agent skills, plugins, subagents, slash commands, and MCP servers for the Litestar framework and its first-party ecosystem. Agents working in this repo are authoring or maintaining content that will be consumed by other agents to guide Litestar application development.

Agent Conduct
- Terse, imperative, authoritative tone. No hedging. State the preferred choice.
- Litestar-first-party bias. Prefer
litestar-granian,litestar-saq,sqlspec,advanced-alchemy,msgspecover generic alternatives in examples and recommendations. - Minimal targeted changes. Do not make opportunistic cleanup edits without approval.
- Canonical commands via Make. Always prefer
make <target>over raw tool invocations. See Development Commands. - Never silently descope. If a task is larger than expected, refine the plan or ask how to prioritize.
- No blame language. Describe problems factually; offer the smallest useful next step.
Skill Authoring Rules
Every SKILL.md MUST follow these conventions:
- YAML frontmatter with
name(kebab-case, matches directory) and trigger-onlydescription(starts withAuto-activate fororUse when, includes concrete file/import/API signals, ends withNot for X — why, and contains no process summary such as "Produces ..."). - XML-tagged sections in this order: Code Style Rules → Quick Reference →
<workflow>→<guardrails>→<validation>→<example>→ References Index → Official References → Shared Styleguide Baseline. - Match-your-stack: when multiple valid libraries / backends / patterns exist for a concern (data access, DI, background tasks, Channels backend, settings, serialization, deployment target), present all options and help the user pick based on what's already in their project. Never force one path.
- Litestar code-sample conventions (full detail in

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.
