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 | $0.00293 | $0.00293 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00117 | $0.00117 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00059 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
finfocus go-module.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
Go Module Instructions
The go.mod file manages Go module dependencies and version requirements.
Go Version Management:
- Current version: the
godirective in this file - Compatibility: Ensure all dependencies support that version
- Updates: Update version consistently across all documentation
Dependency Management:
- Use semantic versioning for dependencies
- Prefer stable, well-maintained packages
- Minimize dependency footprint
- Review dependencies for security vulnerabilities
- Use
go mod tidyto clean up unused dependencies
Module Organization:
- Use proper module path
- Include replace directives for local development
- Maintain clean dependency tree
- Document major dependency changes
Security Considerations:
- Regularly audit dependencies for vulnerabilities
- Use
govulncheckfor security scanning - Update dependencies to patch security issues
- Review dependency licenses
Version Consistency:
- Keep Go version in sync across:
- go.mod
- CI/CD workflows
- Documentation files
- Docker images
- Development environment setup
Build Requirements:
- Ensure dependencies compile with target Go version
- Test builds with different Go versions when needed
- Validate module compatibility
- Check for deprecated dependencies
Local Development:
- Use
go mod downloadto fetch dependencies - Handle replace directives for local packages
- Maintain consistent development environment
- Document setup requirements
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.
