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 | $0.00359 | $0.00359 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00144 | $0.00144 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00072 | $0.00072 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
skills 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
AGENTS
Repository intent
This repository stores agent skills as executable behavior definitions.
Files under skills/**/SKILL.md and their shared rule files are part of shipped capability, not passive reference docs.
Treat these Markdown files as behavior code: changes to prompts, rules, decision logic, examples that constrain output, or invocation guidance should be classified by behavior impact, not by file extension.
Commit type guidance
When changes modify skill behavior, output constraints, invocation rules, decision logic, reusable rules, or examples that shape delivered behavior, classify them like code changes:
- prefer
featfor new or expanded skill capability - prefer
fixfor correcting incorrect skill behavior or output - prefer
refactorfor structural rewrites without behavior change - prefer
perfonly when the change clearly improves execution efficiency, token usage, or latency - use
testfor evaluation or verification artifacts that validate skill behavior - use
docsonly for repository-facing explanatory content that does not change delivered skill behavior - reserve
docsfor repository-facing explanatory content such asREADME*anddocs/**
Bilingual output rule
For bilingual output requirements:
- content under
中文must be written in Simplified Chinese - content under
Englishmust be written in English - the two versions must be composed independently in their respective languages
- do not copy one version and merely relabel it as the other language
Scope note for git-change-writing skills
In skills/git-change-writing/**, changes to prompts, rules, examples, or shared output constraints usually affect delivered skill behavior. Do not default to docs just because the file extension is .md; classify them by behavior impact first.
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.
