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 | $0.00798 | $0.00798 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00319 | $0.00319 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00160 | $0.00160 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00080 | $0.00080 |
Grade A, and why
agent-loop-learning 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Loop Learning — OpenAI Codex CLI Context
This repo is a reference library and skill toolkit for auditing, reviewing, and improving LLM-based agent systems. The best-practice docs are framework-agnostic and apply to any agent built on any model.
Best-practice docs
All reference material lives in best-practices/. Read the relevant doc(s) before answering any question about agent design.

Workflows
Review an agent design
When the user asks to "review", "audit", or "check" an agent:
- Explore the current repo first — do not ask the user for anything. Search for agent-related files (
*agent*,*tool*,*prompt*,*chain*,*workflow*), framework imports (langchain,openai,anthropic,autogen,crewai), system prompt definitions, and anyCLAUDE.md,AGENTS.md, or README describing the architecture. Read the relevant files. Only ask if no agent code is found. - Read all 9 best-practice docs.
- Score each dimension: ✅ Solid / ⚠️ Partial / ❌ Gap.
- Return a scorecard table, top 3 prioritized improvements with benchmark citations, and what's already strong.
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.

agent-loop-learning AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository sarkarsaurabh27/agent-loop-learning (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 798 tokens to every session, about $0.0032 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.
