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 | $0.00648 | $0.00648 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00259 | $0.00259 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00130 | $0.00130 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
repo-kit 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 2mo 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 — 37 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — RepoKit
RepoKit is a reusable GitHub-repository standard plus a /new-repo scaffolder, packaged as a
Claude Code plugin. It stamps consistent, navigable repos from commit #1, organised by
type × tier so private repos stay light and public/published ones get the right ceremony.
This repo dogfoods its own standard (Core + Public tier).

Ground rules
AGENTS.mdis the canonical agent file;CLAUDE.mdis a thin@AGENTS.mdimport (Claude Code readsCLAUDE.md, notAGENTS.md).- Default to verified, simple, proven practices. Conventional Commits; one concern per PR.
- When working in this repo, the
repo-standardskill auto-loads the conventions and the pre-commit / pre-PR checklists — follow them before committing or opening a PR. - Templates and
SKILL.mdfiles are prompt content — keep them plain prose, no secrets, no email addresses (CI enforces this viascripts/check_*.py). - RepoKit publishes to its own marketplace; "publish" = bump versions in
plugin.json/marketplace.json/CHANGELOG.md, then tag and push. Seedocs/adr/0001-repokit-architecture.md.
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.
