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 | $0.00532 | $0.00532 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00213 | $0.00213 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00106 | $0.00106 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00053 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
ai-helpers 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 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.
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 — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Development Commands
| Command | When |
|---|---|
make lint |
Before every commit — validates structure, format, and marketplace registration |
Bump version in plugin.json |
Once per affected plugin per PR when modifying commands, skills, hooks, or plugin.json (not README.md or OWNERS). Skip if that plugin is already higher than the base branch tip. |
make update |
After version bumps — normalizes plugin metadata and syncs marketplace.json |
make site-build |
Before documentation changes — generates and strictly builds the site locally |
make site-serve |

Contributing Rules
- AI reasoning required. Commands must require AI analysis/decisions, not just wrap scripts. If it could be a shell alias or Makefile target, it should not be a plugin command.
- Never reference real people by name, even stylistically. Describe desired qualities explicitly instead.
- Check for overlaps before contributing: run
/utils:review-ai-helpers-overlap --idea "description". - Follow existing patterns. Read
[plugins/hello-world/commands/echo.md](plugins/hello-world/commands/echo.md)for command format; the linter enforces structure. - Use kebab-case for all plugin names, command files, and skill directories.
- Use
.work/{feature-name}/for temporary files (gitignored). - Register all plugins in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
- Set author to
"github.com/openshift-eng"inplugin.json. - Add new commands to an existing plugin when they fit its scope, or to
plugins/utils/if no clear parent. Create a new plugin only for a distinct group of related commands.
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.
