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 | $0.01655 | $0.01655 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00662 | $0.00662 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00331 | $0.00331 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00166 | $0.00166 |
Grade A, and why
helm-ai-kernel 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 26d 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 — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Operational Guidelines for helm-ai-kernel
Welcome to the helm-ai-kernel repository. This is the core, open-source execution firewall daemon.
Developer Runbook
- Run what CI runs (the required
ci / gate):make check - Build daemon binary:
make build - Unit tests:
make test - Docs coverage and truth lint:
make lint - Verify platform docs and fixture truth:
make test-platform - Verify conformance and use cases:
make crucible - Path-scoped check for what you changed:
make quality-impact; before a PR:make quality-pr. Focused and merge/release targets are listed inCONTRIBUTING.md.
Governance & Rules
- API and Protobuf mutations originate here and flow into the unified
contracts-catalog; do not invent contract truth in catalog mirrors. - Maintain strict zero-dependency boundaries on volatile commercial components.
- Behaviour changes ship with tests for the changed path; broaden to
make quality-pror the full suites when shared behaviour, contracts, or receipts change. - Treat RLM outputs as input evidence only. They become Kernel truth only when represented through existing verdict, receipt, ProofGraph, EvidencePack, contract, conformance, or verifier paths; do not add a separate RLM proof universe.
- Treat
mindburnlabsandpeycheff-comas Ivan's human GitHub accounts and preserve both as Mindburn-Labs organization owners/admins. GitHub Actions state changes, release/tag/package/artifact changes, production promotion, and organization/repository access or settings changes are agent work: follow the/helm-privileged-opsprocedure (exact target, live state, one action, authoritative readback, log entry). No human approval step. - Kernel owns verdict, permit, gateway, receipt, ProofGraph, EvidencePack, and
conformance semantics; it is not HELM's organization planner or business
runtime. OrgGenome/OrgPhenotype schemas and GeneratedSpec/evidence paths do
not make Kernel an
OrganizationRuntimeor prove a living company.
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.

helm-ai-kernel AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Mindburn-Labs/helm-ai-kernel (60 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,655 tokens to every session, about $0.0066 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
