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 | $0.01133 | $0.01133 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00566 | $0.00566 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00227 | $0.00227 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00113 | $0.00113 |
Grade A, and why
compliance-trestle-skills 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 11d 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 — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Instructions for Compliance Trestle
This repository is an agent-portable Compliance Trestle and OSCAL engineering toolkit. Claude Code plugins are one distribution format. The primary functions are in these directories:
commands/skills/agents/hooks/plugins/document-transform/agent-skills/docs/tests/
Coding agents can use these directories directly.
Write project documentation in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English. Use short sentences. Use the same word for the same meaning. Keep technical names such as OSCAL, Compliance Trestle, SSP, and FedRAMP.
Purpose of this repository
Use this repository to help teams do these tasks:
- Convert legacy SSP, PDF, DOCX, Markdown, and evidence material into OSCAL workflows.
- Manage OSCAL with Compliance Trestle.
- Validate output with OSCAL tools.
- Make SSP, assessment, POA&M, validation, governance, and review artifacts.
- Do not copy licensed standard text.
Primary directory layout

Agent safety rules
- Do not invent compliance facts, control implementation details, system boundaries, or authorization conclusions.
- Preserve source traceability when you convert legacy documents into OSCAL.
- Mark uncertain mappings as
needs_review. - List the missing evidence.
- Do not paste licensed framework text into repository files.
- Use control IDs and original guidance only.
- Treat OSCAL validation as structural validation.
- Do not treat OSCAL validation as an audit opinion.
- Do not commit real customer SSPs, diagrams, credentials, or sensitive evidence.
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.
