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 | $0.02945 | $0.02945 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01178 | $0.01178 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00589 | $0.00589 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00295 | $0.00295 |
Grade A, and why
pnCore 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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Learned User Preferences
- Never add trailer "Co-authored-by: Cursor [email protected]" or any "Made-with: Cursor" (or similar IDE) line to commits; never set Author or Committer to Cursor Agent / [email protected]
- Contributors: run
git config core.hooksPath .githookssoprepare-commit-msgstrips trailer lines automatically (seedocs/commits.md); workspace rule.cursor/rules/pn-no-cursor-commit-trailers.mdc(alwaysApply) covers trailers and authorship; canonical copy ships as MCP rulepn-no-cursor-commit-trailersfor other projects (pn-setup / pn-new); CIno-ide-trailersfails on those identities too - Always terminate running servers before starting a new one
- Avoid hedging: "possibly", "should", "could", "might" are not acceptable; use definitive statements
- Prefer plans before implementation; implement plans as specified without editing the plan file
- Commit when work is done; push only when the user explicitly asks
- When user asks for verification, confirm everything works before claiming completion
- On Windows PowerShell: use
;for command chaining (not&&); useGet-ChildItem -Force | Select-Object Mode,Name,Lengthinstead ofls -la; useTest-Path+Get-Item .FullNameto verify paths; useWhere-Objectand-match(case-insensitive by default) for filtering. Do not blindly translate Unix shell snippets — check the cmdlet first - When a
/pn-*command is invoked but the user's actual request does not match that command's contract, state the mismatch in plain prose in the first response ("You invoked/Xbut the ask isY; I'll re-route toZunless you'd rather I runXas written") before re-routing. Silent re-routing is aRULE-MISS:acknowledge-command-mismatchperpn-build-gate§ Command-contract acknowledgement; the[pn-command] ▲start marker still applies during the re-route. Canonical rule:pn-build-gate§ Command-contract acknowledgement
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.
