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 | $0.00455 | $0.00455 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00182 | $0.00182 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00091 | $0.00091 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00046 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
thinking-toolkit 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 11d 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.
Thinking Toolkit
A skill for any agent with SKILL.md: selecting and applying thinking models. The stack,
structure and invariants are checked by scripts/validate_skill.py and the tests; this
file holds only what they do not catch.
Commands: python3 scripts/validate_skill.py ., python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v,
python3 scripts/build_release.py.
Rules
- Keep every project file in English, except
README.ru.mdandREADME.zh.md. - Keep the core skill usable by any capable LLM without provider-specific tools, browsing, code execution, persistent memory, or hidden state.
- Never mention or cite the prohibited source project (names and attributions are scrubbed; history was rewritten into a single commit).
- Never add external URLs or external Markdown links to the skill payload
(
SKILL.md,references/,logic/,agents/). READMEs,SECURITY.mdandLICENSEmay cite external resources. - The card count is not a cap. A new card must meet the admission criteria in
MAINTAINING.md; the catalog categories are preserved. logic/is an English payload with no Cyrillic, even for trigger phrases: the module learns the user's language by instruction. Keep it lean.- Keep claims, assumptions, hypotheses, and user-provided facts distinct.
- In your own task branch, commit and push as you go; elsewhere commit only when the user asks.
- Users install copied payloads from immutable releases. Do not restore symlink installation or an install-from-main quick path.
- Updates are user-initiated. Verify the release and asset, show the file changes, and preserve a rollback backup. A requested normal upgrade needs no second confirmation; stop and ask before a downgrade, after failed verification, or when the diff reaches outside the selected skill. Never bypass failed verification.
Release and repository safeguards are in MAINTAINING.md. Re-check GitHub settings
after a transfer or recreation of the repository.
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.

thinking-toolkit AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ponomr/thinking-toolkit (16 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 455 tokens to every session, about $0.0018 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
