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 | $0.00903 | $0.00903 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00361 | $0.00361 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00181 | $0.00181 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00090 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
claude-code-plugins 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.

Claude Code Infrastructure
Rules (.claude/rules/): Session-loaded constraints (always active)
Skills (.claude/skills/): Modular capabilities with progressive disclosure
Core Rules & AI Behavior
- Follow SDLC principles: maintainability, modularity, reusability, adaptability
- Never assume missing context - Ask questions if uncertain about requirements
- Never hallucinate libraries - Only use packages verified in project dependencies
- Always confirm file paths exist before referencing in code or tests
- Never delete existing code unless explicitly instructed or documented refactoring
- Document new patterns in AGENT_LEARNINGS.md (concise, laser-focused, streamlined)
- Request human feedback in AGENT_REQUESTS.md (concise, laser-focused, streamlined)
Decision Framework
Priority Order: User instructions > AGENTS.md compliance > Documentation hierarchy > Project patterns > General best practices
Anti-Scope-Creep Rules:
- NEVER implement features without requirement validation
- Always validate implementation decisions against project scope boundaries
Anti-Redundancy Rules:
- NEVER duplicate information across documents - reference authoritative sources
- Update authoritative document, then remove duplicates elsewhere
When to Escalate to AGENT_REQUESTS.md:
- User instructions conflict with safety/security practices
- AGENTS.md rules contradict each other
- Required information completely missing
- Actions would significantly change project architecture
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.

claude-code-plugins AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository qte77/claude-code-plugins (3 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 903 tokens to every session, about $0.0036 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.
