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 | $0.14141 | $0.14141 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.05656 | $0.05656 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.02828 | $0.02828 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01414 | $0.01414 |
Grade A, and why
dotnet-skills AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 15d 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 733 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose
This file defines how AI agents work in this repository.
- Root
AGENTS.mdholds the global workflow, repository structure, release and automation policy, and skill-catalog maintenance rules. - This repository currently uses only the root
AGENTS.md; add a nearer localAGENTS.mdonly when a subtree needs stricter or more specialized rules. - The repository has three equally important responsibilities:
- Maintain a high-quality scanned catalog under
catalog/<type>/<package>/for modern and legacy.NET. - Maintain repo-owned orchestration agents in top-level
agents/and package-owned catalog agents incatalog/<type>/<package>/agents/. - Maintain automation that watches official upstream releases and documentation so the catalog can be refreshed when the ecosystem changes.
- Maintain a high-quality scanned catalog under
If this repository contains executable code, it must exist only to distribute or install the skill catalog itself, for example as a publishable dotnet tool.
Do not turn this repository into a general application or unrelated tooling codebase.
All repository-facing documentation and skill content should be written in English. Follow official or documented agent standards where they exist; do not present a repo-local adapter as if it were a universal standard.

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.

dotnet-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository managedcode/dotnet-skills (495 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 14,141 tokens to every session, about $0.0566 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
