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 | $0.00932 | $0.00932 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00373 | $0.00373 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00186 | $0.00186 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00093 | $0.00093 |
Grade A, and why
zaungast 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 2mo 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Policy
Execution rules for automation agents contributing to this repository. This is the single top-level source of truth.
Commit messages
For every completed task with repo changes, provide a single-line Conventional Commit message draft
in imperative language with a scope, e.g., type(scope): fix bug X in component Y. When asked to commit, use that same style for the commit itself.
Docs sync
When a change affects observable behavior, CLI usage, or workflow, ask to update the following docs:
README.md— keep usage examples and command reference current.docs/— update any affected content pages (getting-started, configuration, etc.).
If a docs page does not exist yet for new behavior, ask to create it under docs/ and register it in mkdocs.yml.
Validation — post-change
Run the same gate CI runs, then keep it green. Exact invocations live in package.json scripts and
.github/workflows/ — this section is what to check and when, not command lines to copy (they drift).
TypeScript (primary gate; mirrors CI)
The format:check → typecheck/typecheck:test → test/test:fixture/test:integration:ci chain,
after any change (especially the data layer).
Rust (packages/libzaungast-native, only when Rust source changed)
- Style/lint:
npm run check:native— wrapscargo fmt+ pedanticclippy, auto-falling back to Docker when the host can't build natively. - Behavior: the native engine must stay byte-identical to the TS reference. Run the byte-differential

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.
