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 | $0.00417 | $0.00417 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00167 | $0.00167 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00083 | $0.00083 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
finfocus ai-agent-files.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 18d 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
AI Agent Instruction Files
This repository contains AI agent instruction files that provide guidance for different AI assistants working with the codebase.
Supported Files:
- CLAUDE.md: Instructions for Claude Code (claude.ai/code)
- GEMINI.md: Instructions for Gemini AI assistants
- AGENTS.md: General agent instructions for various AI tools
Usage Guidelines:
- Read these files when working with AI assistants
- Reference the appropriate file based on the AI tool being used
- Follow the instructions provided in these files
- Keep instructions updated as the codebase evolves
File Purposes:
- CLAUDE.md: Comprehensive development guidelines, build commands, architecture overview, testing requirements
- GEMINI.md: Concise development guidelines, active technologies, workflow restrictions
- AGENTS.md: Repository guidelines, coding standards, project structure, development commands
Maintenance Requirements:
- Update regularly as codebase changes
- Keep version information current (Go versions, dependencies)
- Document new patterns and conventions
- Include new tools and technologies
- Update build/test commands as they change
Integration with Copilot:
- These files are automatically read by GitHub Copilot
- Use them as reference for consistent development practices
- Follow the coding standards and patterns documented
- Reference the build and testing instructions provided
When to Update:
- New dependencies are added
- Build processes change
- Coding standards evolve
- New tools or technologies are introduced
- Project structure changes
- Testing requirements change
Critical Instructions:
- Never commit changes without user approval (CLAUDE.md restriction)
- Always run tests and linting before completion
- Follow the Go version in
go.modand its best practices - Maintain high test coverage (80%+ target)
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.
