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 | $0.00365 | $0.00365 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00146 | $0.00146 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00073 | $0.00073 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
lib.reviews 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.
What it actually says
lib.reviews Agent Notes
This repository powers the lib.reviews platform. It includes legacy patterns and is being modernized.
Tech Stack
- Runtime/language: Node.js (>=22), TypeScript (ESM)
- Backend: Express, Handlebars (
hbs),config - Data/search: PostgreSQL (
pg), sessions (connect-pg-simple), Elasticsearch client - Frontend: Vite (MPA) + TS modules, PicoCSS, jQuery, ProseMirror, PostCSS
- Tooling: Biome (lint/format), AVA (+ Supertest/Nock/JSdom), TypeDoc
Guidance for Agents
- Preserve behavior unless explicitly told otherwise; many routes have implicit dependencies.
- Code comments should describe the code that is there, not legacy behavior or intermediate steps.
- Code comments are NOT a tool to support user-agent communication; they must only be added if they have long-term value.
- If asked for a commit message, use Conventional Commits: subject ≤50 chars, body lines ≤72 chars, ≤4 bullets, describe only the current diff.
- In TypeScript doc comments, omit types in
@paramtags. - If you touch TS/JS/backend, ensure
npm run lint,npm run typecheck, andnpm run testpass.npm run testmay be blocked in restricted sandboxes; ask before running or tell the user to run it locally / with elevation. - During CSS-only iteration, you can usually rely on Vite HMR/dev server for feedback; run
npm run build:frontendwhen changing PostCSS features (nesting/mixins), when the user reports Vite errors, or when anything about the CSS pipeline/bundling changes.
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.
