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 | $0.01220 | $0.01220 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00488 | $0.00488 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00244 | $0.00244 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00122 | $0.00122 |
Grade A, and why
hypershift 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 yesterday.
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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
This file provides guidance to AI coding agents when working with code in this repository. CLAUDE.md is a symlink to this file so that Claude Code auto-loads it; the AGENTS.md name is canonical.
HyperShift is middleware for hosting OpenShift control planes at scale, decoupling control planes (running as pods on a management cluster) from worker nodes (running in separate infrastructure).
This file is intentionally minimal — detailed guidance lives in the referenced files below and should be updated there, not here.
For architecture, components, and platform support, see ARCHITECTURE.md.
Project documentation is published via MkDocs. The site structure and navigation are defined in docs/mkdocs.yml, with content under docs/content/. When adding or reorganizing documentation pages, update the nav section in mkdocs.yml to keep the site navigation in sync.

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.

hypershift AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository openshift/hypershift (548 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,220 tokens to every session, about $0.0049 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.
