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 | $0.00266 | $0.00266 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00106 | $0.00106 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00053 | $0.00053 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00027 |
Grade A, and why
MinSync 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.

What it actually says
MinSync
Manifest-based incremental vector DB indexing CLI tool written in Rust. No git required.
Core Principles
- Git-free: manifest (mtime + size + content_hash) based change detection. Zero git dependency.
- Rust native: Pure Rust, no C++ dependencies. chonkie-core (chunk crate) built-in.
- State directory:
.minsync/(config.toml, manifest.json, cursor.json, txn.json, lock) - Indexing target: All files in directory. Exclude via
.minsyncignore(.gitignoresyntax). - Text files only: MinSync reads files as UTF-8 text and does NO content extraction. Binary formats (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, images, ...) fail the UTF-8 read and are treated as empty — they are never chunked or embedded. Add them to
.minsyncignore. Supporting them would require a separate text-extraction pipeline. - Crash-safe: Cursor updated only after all processing completes. mark+sweep guarantees convergence.
- Deterministic ID:
sha256(source_id + \0 + path + \0 + chunk_schema_id + \0 + chunk_type + \0 + content_hash + \0 + dup_index).
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.
