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 | $0.00440 | $0.00440 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00176 | $0.00176 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00088 | $0.00088 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00044 |
Grade A, and why
SidewalkWebpage evolutions.instructions.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
Play evolution (schema) review — highest-value checks
- One evolution file per PR. Flag a PR minting a new-numbered file when its changes could fold into the PR's existing evolution.
- Owner: every
CREATE TABLEmust be followed byALTER TABLE <name> OWNER TO sidewalk;in the same file. Flag any missing it. Tables ONLY — not enum types, views, or standalone sequences; SERIAL/identity sequences are covered automatically by the table's owner change. - Full constraints — don't lean on the app. For each new/altered table flag
missing:
NOT NULLon never-null columns,UNIQUE/PK on natural keys & 1:1 relationships, aFOREIGN KEYfor every reference, aCHECKfor bounded domains (severity 1–3, non-negative counts, 0–1 fractions, valid lat/lng). Each must be mirrored in the Slick model. - Closed value sets: prefer a Postgres enum type (high-row / runtime-written /
Scala-mirrored columns) or a
CHECK (col IN (...))(tiny config tables) over a lookup table or bare text. When an enum replaces a same-named lookup table,DROP TABLEmust precedeCREATE TYPE. - Renames leave fossils. An evolution renaming a table/column must also
ALTER TABLE ... RENAME CONSTRAINT/ALTER INDEX ... RENAMEevery constraint and index embedding the old name (to<table>_<column>_{fkey,key,pkey,check}) and update the Slick name string. Flag a rename that omits this. - Parser trap: no

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.
