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 | $0.03944 | $0.03944 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01578 | $0.01578 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00789 | $0.00789 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00394 | $0.00394 |
Grade A, and why
sempods-kotlin 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 13d 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 — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — sempods
Scope: project-level guidance for the whole repository — everything below holds for every module
unless a narrower file says otherwise. The IST documentation is in docs/.
Three modules carry their own AGENTS.md: sempods-auth,
sempods-mcp and sempods-server, the last
with two more scoped to packages inside it
(pods/,
ai/). The others have none and take
this file directly — that is the normal case, not a gap to be filled.
The pod server is sempods-server/, one module among many rather than the
product. It carries its own sempods-server/AGENTS.md, which
points back here for the mission, terminology and documentation map below. This file remains the
authority where the two overlap.
Start here
docs/agents/ai-instructions.md— how instructions are discovered and which file wins where two disagree. Every agent frontend routes through it.docs/agents/documentation-strategy.md— the three documentation types, and the rules for when not to document something. Read it before touching any*.md.CONTRIBUTING.md§"What this project will not change" — the non-negotiable invariants. Canonical there rather than here, because the same list binds contributors; see the section below.
GEMINI.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md and .cursor/rules/ are compatibility pointers back
to this file — Codex, opencode and Claude Code read it directly. Everything canonical is here, under
docs/agents/, or — for the invariants alone — in CONTRIBUTING.md; a pointer that grows rules of
its own is a pointer that drifts.
Project mission
sempods.org is a private, non-profit project that defines an open, copyable standard for self-hosted "semantic pods". A pod is an isolated tenant (conceptually a separate store/account) that can be hosted by anyone and used by multiple apps.
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.

sempods-kotlin AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository sempods/sempods-kotlin (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 3,944 tokens to every session, about $0.0158 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 2026-10-02.
