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 | $0.02066 | $0.02066 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00826 | $0.00826 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00413 | $0.00413 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00207 | $0.00207 |
Grade A, and why
shiki 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 — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Read this first
CLAUDE.mdis the exhaustive source of truth (layout, keybindings, config schema, git sync, release automation, per-file design rationale). Read the relevant section before any architectural change.IDEA.mdis the design spec.AGENTS.mdonly covers what you'd otherwise guess wrong.- This is a Rust Cargo workspace (
shiki-core→shiki-config→shiki-tui→shiki-cli, strict one-way deps; plusshiki-native-hostand the Tauri-basedshiki-desktop, neither of which the terminal crates depend on). Binary name isshiki(inshiki-cli/src/main.rs), launched with no args = TUI,-- <args>= CLI subcommands.
Commands
cargo check --workspace # fast iteration
cargo test --workspace # the whole suite
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings # CI gate — the -D warnings matters
cargo fmt --all # then re-clippy
cargo audit # CI runs this; ignore list lives in .cargo/audit.toml
cargo run -p shiki-cli -- --help # CLI; no args launches the TUI
- CI (
ci.yml) runsfmt --check(ubuntu only),clippy -D warningsandcargo teston all 3 OSes. Clippy is matrixed becauseshiki-core/src/editor.rshas#[cfg(target_os = ...)]blocks. - Never commit a clippy failure;

Testing
- There are 498

They are all inline#[cfg(test)]modules inside source files (notests/dirs, no#[ignore], no fixture setup).cargo test --workspaceis green. - To exercise the CLI/TUI without touching real user data, override XDG dirs (used via

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.
