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 | $0.00856 | $0.00856 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00342 | $0.00342 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00086 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
dotfiles 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 8d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
expected to go through that path rather than a bare `curl`. 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
Personal dotfiles managed by Chezmoi across macOS, Linux, and containers. Installation and
per-tool notes live in README.md and docs/.
Version control
Work directly on main in this personal repository. Do not create feature branches
or pull requests. Preview pushes with jj git push --bookmark main --dry-run.
Edit source files, not installed files
Chezmoi copies home/ to ~/. Edits to ~/ are overwritten on the next chezmoi apply,
so always work in, eg home/dot_config/nvim/..., never ~/.config/nvim/....
This applies to anything under home/, including the Claude config in home/dot_claude/.
Preview and apply by file with chezmoi diff [target_path] and chezmoi apply [target_path].

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.
