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 | $0.00399 | $0.00399 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00160 | $0.00160 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00080 | $0.00080 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00040 | $0.00040 |
Grade A, and why
panoptes-utils GEMINI.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.
What it actually says
Gemini CLI Guidelines for PANOPTES Utilities
This document provides specific instructions for the Gemini CLI agent. For all general project guidelines, development workflows, and technical standards, refer to the primary agent documentation.
Primary Guidelines
Default to AGENTS.md: All architectural patterns, coding standards, testing requirements, and module-specific instructions defined in AGENTS.md are foundational mandates and take absolute precedence.
Gemini-Specific Instructions
Environment & Tooling
- UV Executable: Always use the
uvexecutable for environment management, dependency installation, and running commands (e.g.,uv run pytest,uv lock). - Shell Commands: When using
run_shell_command, ensure that commands are compatible with theuvenvironment.
Workflow Integration
- Documentation: All documentation must be written in Markdown for MkDocs. Do not use reStructuredText (.rst) or Sphinx.
- Research Phase: Use
grep_searchandglobto align with the patterns described inAGENTS.mdbefore proposing changes. - Validation: Always run tests using
uv run pytestafter any modification. Note the specific testing markers and plot-blocking doctests mentioned inAGENTS.md. - Changelog: Rigorously follow the
CHANGELOG.mdupdate requirements specified in the "Making Changes" section ofAGENTS.md.
Utility Awareness
- Search Before Implementation: Always check
panoptes.utilsfor existing functionality. Specifically, usepanoptes.utils.serializersfor any data transmission or persistence tasks to ensure astronomical types (Quantities, Times) are handled correctly and consistently.

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.
