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 | $0.01375 | $0.01375 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00550 | $0.00550 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00275 | $0.00275 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00137 | $0.00137 |
Grade A, and why
Codex-Workspace 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Scope
These instructions apply to Codex Workspace and repos/workspace-hub unless a
deeper repo-specific AGENTS.md overrides them.
For first-time repo intake, use docs/09-new-repo-baseline.md.
Every intake must assess Graphify eligibility as code, documents, mixed,
assets, or sensitive. Do not install Graphify, generate a graph, or add
hooks automatically. Adoption requires a repo-specific .graphifyignore, an
explicit graphify-out/ ignore rule, and passed privacy/correctness gates.
Priorities
Maintain a clean, high-performance mixed-repo workspace.
Prefer:
- clear structure
- independently runnable repos
- shared caches, not shared installs
- direct local dev servers for frontend/WebGL projects
- optional proxy or mapped-host tooling only when it adds value
- pragmatic WordPress handling, usually through Local for existing sites
Never create one shared node_modules or equivalent install directory across
unrelated repos.
Workspace Shape
Expected top-level folders:
docs/repos/tools/cache/shared/
Use:
docs/for canonical workspace docs and handover.workspace/project.jsonfor per-repo runtime metadatatools/templates/for starter templatesshared/for durable workspace metadatacache/for generated summaries, runtime artifacts, and shared stores
Token Budget
Keep agent context small by default.
Do not load or summarize these unless the task explicitly needs them:
docs/archive/- repo
ref/ - repo
screenshots/ cache/- generated reports, large copied HTML, archives, lockfiles, vendor/build output
For fresh context, read:
- this file
docs/HANDOVER.md- the repo-local
CONTEXT_CATALOG.mdor established catalog index when present - the relevant repo README, handover, manifest, or source files routed by that catalog
- generated
cache/context/.../entry.mdonly if useful
Avoid broad historical docs and deep/artifact search by default.
For repositories with recurring context-navigation costs, assess the optional
tracked context-catalog workflow in docs/09-new-repo-baseline.md. Preserve an
existing catalog hierarchy instead of creating a second one. A catalog routes
to authoritative files; it does not become authoritative memory itself.
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.

Codex-Workspace AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository RichardGeorgeDavis/Codex-Workspace (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,375 tokens to every session, about $0.0055 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.
