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 | $0.22724 | $0.22724 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.09090 | $0.09090 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.04545 | $0.04545 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.02272 | $0.02272 |
Grade A, and why
adrkit AGENTS.md scanned grade A 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 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
`panel-http.mjs`. That stops naive scripts and other pages only; curl can Runs shell commandslowCapability
Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.
subprocess wrapper uses `node:child_process` and catches only `ENOENT`. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,341 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
adrkit
Decision memory for human- and agent-authored plans — machine-readable ADRs
that are enforceable in CI and legible to agents, without leaving git.
Status: early — phases 0–6 landed and v0.20.0 is public. @adrkit/core,
@adrkit/evaluator, @adrkit/cli (lint, new, graph, explain,
check, queue, accept, approve, object, resolve, migrate --from madr,
evaluate) are published on npm, as is
the independently versioned @adrkit/spec-kit Spec Kit extension (0.1.5); the
repository-backed CI Action is available at mbeacom/adrkit/packages/ci@v0,
and the build-only decision-portal Action at
mbeacom/adrkit/packages/ci/[email protected] (pin an immutable tag, never @v0).
The governing-decisions Action also has a root action.yml alias for GitHub
Marketplace beginning with v0.13.0. Root
Marketplace guidance uses immutable release tags; never advertise
mbeacom/adrkit@v0, because recovery may move that shared tag to a pre-alias
release. The queue Action remains nested because GitHub lists only root Action
metadata.
The published @adrkit/mcp server has exactly four local stdio tools and serves
both MCP protocol eras over one stdio connection — 2026-07-28 (stateless;
opened by server/discover or a 2026 _meta envelope) and the 2025 era (opened
by initialize) — via the SDK v2 serveStdio entry
(ADR-0018).
It passed real-session dogfood against the published artifact on both eras,
driven through the official MCP Inspector. The Inspector defaults to the 2025
era; select the modern one with "protocolEra": "modern" (or "auto") in the
server's entry in the Inspector's mcp.json; Inspector 2.8.0 (verified 2026-09-27) also accepts
--protocol-era legacy|auto|modern in CLI mode.
Visual adr graph
adr graph preserves agent/script compatibility while giving interactive users
a useful view under
ADR-0033.
Its default is auto: stdout attached to a TTY receives the terminal
status/relationship instrument; piped, redirected, and captured stdout still
receives deterministic DOT. Explicit
--format terminal|dot|json|mermaid always wins. --focus <id> keeps one ADR
and its direct neighborhood; repeatable
--kind supersedes|relatesTo|conflictsWith filters every format.
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.

adrkit AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mbeacom/adrkit (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 22,724 tokens to every session, about $0.0909 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
