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 | $0.12255 | $0.12255 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.04902 | $0.04902 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.02451 | $0.02451 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01226 | $0.01226 |
Grade C, and why
agentic-ship AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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 1mo 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
**Never write `cp`, `ln`, `readlink`, `grep`, `rm -rf`, `mkdir -p`, `chmod`, `openssl`, How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 767 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agentic Ship
This is the tool-only repository. It has no bundled application, backend, assets,
or deployment. The product-stack rules below are guidance for a downstream product
workspace that adopts Agentic Ship; do not expect src/, convex/, or a local website
to exist here.
This file is where every rule is declared. CLAUDE.md imports it with one line;
.claude/skills links to .agents/skills. Skills elaborate these rules into
procedure — they must never restate one differently, and never introduce a rule that is
not declared here. When a skill and this file disagree, this file is right and the skill
is a bug.
Works with any agentic tool. Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and
OpenClaw (with this repository as its agent workspace) read this file natively; skills
are plain markdown any agent can follow. Canonical role
briefs live in .agents/agents/; pnpm sync:agents generates the Claude plugin's
top-level agents/, project-native Codex and Cursor agents, and non-secret Hermes and
OpenClaw profiles. Cursor gets MCP through the committed
.cursor/mcp.json mirror; Codex gets project-scoped TOML generated from the same pinned
catalog.
The repo is also an installable plugin for Claude Code and Codex — manifests in
.claude-plugin/ and .codex-plugin/ point at the same .agents/skills/, so the
plugin adds a second delivery path, never a second copy of a rule.
Per-tool matrix and sync rules: .agents/skills/agent-compatibility/SKILL.md.
Skills with a references/ folder keep their deep material there — load it only when
the task needs it.
Instructions live here. Procedures live in .agents/skills/. Tool wiring lives in
.mcp.json. Product, feature, and human-input contracts live in .agents/contracts/.
Safe runtime coordination lives under gitignored .agent-state/; credentials never do.
The project-scoped agentic-ship MCP server wraps the real health, verification,
connection, queue, and UI-evidence services. Its mutation tools require the explicit
--allow-mutations server argument; its full contract lives in
.agents/skills/agent-compatibility/references/agentic-ship-mcp.md.
Plugin wiring lives in .claude/settings.json (the official nextjs plugin from the
vercel/next.js repo is declared there). Provenance for all of it lives in
skills.lock.json. One rule, one home: it is declared here, applied there.
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.

agentic-ship AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository moasq/agentic-ship (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12,255 tokens to every session, about $0.0490 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
