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 | $0.00535 | $0.00535 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00214 | $0.00214 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00107 | $0.00107 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00053 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
armory 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 7d 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.

Code Review Rules
- Failure means package instructions in
skills/*/SKILL.md,agents/*/AGENT.md, orcommands/*/COMMAND.mdcontradict their bundled scripts/references and make the documented workflow fail or take an unauthorized action. - Failure means a package description routes a concrete request to the wrong package or excludes an intended invocation; demonstrate the conflicting trigger and workflow rather than guessing from a name.
- Failure means
scripts/generate_manifest.py,scripts/generate_adapters.py, orscripts/build_router_index.pydrops or misrepresents package metadata, required supporting files, or history-derived routing evidence; identify the affected package/host/request. - Respect CI coverage:
package.ymlchecks manifest drift and regenerates/validates adapters, but does not compare committed adapters for drift;router-index.ymlrebuilds on main/schedule/manual dispatch, not as a PR synchronization gate. Report semantic generator defects or demonstrated adapter drift at their source, not duplicate manifest/frontmatter/reference/eval-schema gate errors. - Do not report style, formatting, naming nits, or diagnostics already enforced by Ruff,
mypy --strict, ESLint, ortscwithin their configured scopes in.github/workflows/tests.ymlandextensions/package.json; speculative hardening is not a finding. - Review PR-introduced failures only. Tag unchanged-code issues
Pre-existingwithout requesting a fix; do not repeat findings already raised on an earlier commit of the same PR unless the attempted fix introduces a distinct failure. - Paths to skip for line-by-line review: generated
manifest.yamlandadapters/**; review canonical package definitions and generator logic instead. Generated-output comparisons may support a source-level finding. - Lockfiles (
uv.lock,extensions/bun.lock) stay in scope for dependency changes: flag packages added or version-changed without a matching change inpyproject.tomlorextensions/package.json; do not review them line by line. - Every finding must name
file:line, the concrete failing scenario and consequence, and the bug class so the author can fix every instance; tag itImportant,Nit, orPre-existing. A suggestive identifier alone is not evidence. - Start the summary with the count of
Importantfindings; when there are no actionable findings, say plainly: "Nothing to fix." - Keep completion criteria, templates, and eval rubrics conditional on the selected workflow branch: stop, rejection, zero-candidate, and small/no-plan paths must not require artifacts or continuation that their own instructions forbid.
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.
