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 | $0.00377 | $0.00377 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00151 | $0.00151 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00075 | $0.00075 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
codecollection-devtools 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
Agent Rules
This repository provides agent-agnostic rules for AI coding assistants. All
skill files live in .agents/ and are symlinked into agent-specific directories
at setup time.
Directory layout
.agents/ # Canonical rule files (agent-agnostic)
├── *.mdc # Generated from skills/ by `task install-skills`
│ # (gitignored by root .gitignore: .agents/*.mdc)
.cursor/rules -> ../.agents # Symlink for Cursor IDE
Adding a new agent
To add rules support for another IDE or AI agent:
# Create a symlink from the agent's expected rules directory to .agents/
ln -s ../.agents .your-agent/rules
Common agent rule directories:
| Agent / IDE | Rules path | Symlink command |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor | .cursor/rules/ |
ln -s ../.agents .cursor/rules |
| Windsurf | .windsurf/rules/ |
ln -s ../.agents .windsurf/rules |
| Cline / Roo Code | .clinerules/ |
(flat file, see below) |
Note: Some agents (like Cline) use flat files rather than directories. For these, concatenate the relevant
.mdcfiles into the agent's expected format rather than symlinking.
Source of truth
Rule files are authored as Markdown in skills/ and installed into .agents/
by task install-skills (part of task setup). The .mdc files in .agents/
are generated and should not be committed.
To refresh rules after updating skills:
task install-skills
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.
