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 | $0.01226 | $0.01226 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00490 | $0.00490 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00245 | $0.00245 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00123 | $0.00123 |
Grade C, and why
agent-starter-node AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
This is a LiveKit Agents project. LiveKit Agents is a Node.js SDK for building voice AI agents. This starter is designed to run in LiveKit Cloud. See @README.md for more about the rest of the LiveKit ecosystem.
Tooling
This Node.js project uses the pnpm package manager.
Be sure to maintain code formatting, using pnpm format and pnpm lint.
LiveKit documentation
Always refer to the latest documentation when working with this project. LiveKit offers both a CLI (lk docs) and an MCP server for browsing and searching its documentation.
LiveKit CLI
Install or update the CLI:
- macOS:
brew install livekit-cli(update:brew update && brew upgrade livekit-cli) - Linux:
curl -sSL https://get.livekit.io/cli | bash - Windows:
winget install LiveKit.LiveKitCLI(update:winget upgrade LiveKit.LiveKitCLI)
Run lk docs before your first docs lookup. Its help text explains how to use each command and how to interpret results.
LiveKit docs MCP server
For deeper coding agent integration, LiveKit also offers an MCP server.
Submit feedback to LiveKit
When you run into any problem with LiveKit, add it to your to-do list, then submit it with lk docs submit-feedback or the MCP submit_docs_feedback tool once you finish your other tasks. Useful feedback includes incomplete documentation, broken examples, missing steps, broken features or implementations, and any other gap or issue in the LiveKit ecosystem.
LiveKit agent skills
LiveKit publishes agent skills for each stage of the work: reading the docs, building, debugging, testing, writing scenarios, running simulations, and operating in production. They defer to the live documentation for API details. Before you start a task, check that they're installed: look for .agents/skills/ or .claude/skills/ in this project, or in the developer's home directory for a global install. If they're missing, install them with lk skills install --yes, which installs them for the coding agents it detects and adds the LiveKit Docs MCP server to their config. If you can't run commands, or the CLI has no skills command (it was added in v2.19.0), ask the developer to update the CLI and run lk skills install. If your tool doesn't load skills automatically, or they were installed after this session started, read the matching SKILL.md (for example .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md) before you start that kind of task.
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.

agent-starter-node AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository livekit-examples/agent-starter-node (115 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,226 tokens to every session, about $0.0049 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 88% identical to agent-starter-python AGENTS.md, differing in 14 lines, and is treated as a copy.
