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 | $0.01335 | $0.01335 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00534 | $0.00534 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00267 | $0.00267 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00134 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
dotnet-artisan 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 3d 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 — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
dotnet-artisan -- Plugin Instructions
This repository contains one dotnet-artisan plugin under plugins/dotnet-artisan. The plugin provides 10 skills (process + domain) and 14 specialist agents for .NET development. It follows the Agent Skills open standard.
Key Conventions
SKILL.md Frontmatter
Every skill requires name, description, and license frontmatter fields. Additional optional fields control skill visibility and execution:
---
name: dotnet-example-skill
description: One-line summary under 600 characters
license: MIT
user-invocable: false
---
Required fields:
name(string) -- must match the directory namedescription(string) -- target under 600 characters (WARN at 12,000 total, FAIL at 15,600)license(string) -- must beMIT; required by Copilot CLI
Required by repo policy:
user-invocable(boolean) -- must be explicitly set on every skill (trueorfalse); required for cross-provider predictability
Optional fields:
disable-model-invocation(boolean) -- set totrueto prevent Claude from loading the skillcontext(string) -- set toforkfor isolated execution without conversation historymodel(string) -- model override, e.g.haikufor lightweight detection tasks
Cross-Reference Syntax
Reference skills and agents using machine-parseable syntax:
See [skill:dotnet-csharp] for C# language patterns and async/await guidance.
Route to [skill:dotnet-security-reviewer] for security audit.
Use [skill:name] for ALL routable references (skills and agents) -- bare text names are not machine-parseable. The validator resolves references against the union of skill directory names and agent file stems.
Routing Language Rules
Descriptions must follow the Action + Domain + Differentiator formula using third-person declarative style. No WHEN prefix, no filler phrases. Every skill must have ## Scope and ## Out of scope sections. See docs/skill-routing-style-guide.md for the full canonical rules.
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.
