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 | $0.01857 | $0.01857 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00928 | $0.00928 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00371 | $0.00371 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00186 | $0.00186 |
Grade A, and why
ai-agent-memory review-sessions.instructions.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 9d 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 — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Review Sessions
When the user says "review sessions", "session review", or invokes /review-sessions, analyse coding-agent session data to identify workflow improvements, prompt-quality patterns, error trends, and security hygiene issues.
Works across both supported agents:
| Agent | Where sessions live | Format |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub Copilot CLI | ~/.copilot/session-state/{session-id}/events.jsonl (+ plan.md, checkpoints/, command-history-state.json) |
JSONL event stream — typed events (session.start, session.mode_changed, turn.user, turn.assistant, tool.invoked, …) with timestamp, id, parentId |
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/projects/{project-hash}/{session-id}.jsonl (+ ~/.claude/history.jsonl) |
JSONL conversation turns — `type: user |
Resolve the memory root
- If
memory/schema.mdexists in the current workspace, setWIKI_ROOTtomemory/. - Else if
schema.mdexists, setWIKI_ROOTto the current directory. - Else follow the memory-wiki path in
AGENT.md. - If no folder containing both
schema.mdandindex.mdcan be resolved, report the missing path and stop.
All ops/... paths below are relative to WIKI_ROOT.
Scope modifiers
Interpret these optional modifiers from the user's request:
--agent {copilot,claude,all}— source to review; defaultall--all— ignore the watermark and review every session--project SLUG— match the sessioncwdor git root--since YYYY-MM-DD— include sessions on or after this date- No modifiers — incremental review using
ops/review-state.json
Step 1: Discover and normalize sessions directly
Use the agent's native file listing, search, JSON/JSONL reading, and reasoning capabilities. Do not require or create a helper extraction script.
- Inventory session files for the selected agent source(s).
- For incremental mode, read
ops/review-state.jsonif it exists and exclude namespaced file IDs already present inwatermark.reviewed_files. A file ID iscopilot:{absolute-path}orclaude:{absolute-path}. - Apply project and date filters before reading large files.
- Read each JSONL file in manageable chunks. Parse each line independently; count and report malformed lines instead of silently discarding them.
- Normalize records into this common in-memory model:
agent:copilotorclaudesession_id,timestampkind:user_turn,assistant_turn,tool_call,tool_result,error, ormode_changetext,tool_name,success,duration_mswhen available
- Copilot mapping: use event
typevalues such asturn.user,turn.assistant,tool.invoked, tool completion/error events, andsession.mode_changed. - Claude mapping: use
type: user|assistantrecords and nestedtool_use/tool_resultcontent; infer plan-mode changes only when explicitly represented. - Keep the processed namespaced file IDs for the state update in Step 6.
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.

ai-agent-memory review-sessions.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ozgurkarahan/ai-agent-memory (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,857 tokens to every session, about $0.0093 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
