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 | $0.01597 | $0.01597 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00639 | $0.00639 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00319 | $0.00319 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00160 | $0.00160 |
Grade A, and why
high-quality-projects-skill 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 — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Entry point for coding agents that support AGENTS.md, or for any agent
explicitly directed to this file.
This package holds three vendor-neutral workflows and the configuration they install. The Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot files are optional packaging and discovery adapters around that shared content.
The workflows
| Workflow | Read this file | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Project setup | skills/project_setup/SKILL.md |
Starting a new project. Grills the idea, confirms a project brief, then scaffolds. |
| Quality retrofit | skills/quality_retrofit/SKILL.md |
An existing codebase needs standards applied. |
| Feature delivery | skills/feature_delivery/SKILL.md |
Add or resume scoped behavior in an existing project. |
They are plain Markdown instructions. Read the whole file before acting on it — all open with a mandatory scan step that must run before anything is created or modified.
The directory is named skills/ because Claude Code requires that layout to
load them as plugin skills. The files themselves are vendor-neutral; the name is
packaging, not a dependency.
Resolving paths
The instructions use ${SKILL_ROOT}/... as a placeholder for this package's
root. Resolve it with the script for the active shell. On Windows PowerShell:
$SkillRoot = & 'C:\path\to\high-quality-projects-skill\scripts\skill-root.ps1'
On Linux, macOS, or another POSIX environment:
SKILL_ROOT="$(bash /path/to/high-quality-projects-skill/scripts/skill-root.sh)"
Both scripts locate themselves, so they work from a git clone, a vendored copy,
or a submodule with no environment configured. They honour SKILL_ROOT first,
then CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT (which Claude Code sets automatically), then fall back
to their own location. Do not invoke Windows bash.exe: it can be a WSL relay
even when no Linux distribution or /bin/bash exists.
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.

high-quality-projects-skill AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository RandyNorthrup/high-quality-projects-skill (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,597 tokens to every session, about $0.0064 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.
