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 | $0.00461 | $0.00461 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00184 | $0.00184 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00092 | $0.00092 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00046 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
SHAFT_ENGINE 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 21d 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
AGENTS.md
Repository facts
ChaosEngine by Mohab Mohie. SHAFT_ENGINE is a Maven Java automation framework:
core shaft-engine/, optional shaft-*, IntelliJ plugin shaft-intellij/,
and CI tooling under scripts/ci/. Configuration wins. Start from the
requested goal and affected files.
Canonical policy
ChaosEngine, through the marker pointer at the end of this file, is the only router and
working-policy owner. Do not restate its policies here or in host
adapters. CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md only import this file (@AGENTS.md).
Cleanup scope: cleanup-scopes.
Duty ownership: agent_ownership.json.
Repository safety
- General safety is iron law 7 of the core card; repository specifics follow.
- Do not launch GUI applications, browsers, editors, installers, servers, or watchers without explicit authorization.
- Keep Maven tests scoped and headless with
-Dallure.automaticallyOpen=false -DheadlessExecution=true. - Never track generated reports, binaries, caches,
target/, build output, Graphify output, MemPalace runtime indexes, secrets, or machine-local state. - Preserve public APIs; reproduce defects with focused regressions. Functional documentation changes remain a separate PR and use the configured docs root.
- Validate harness changes with
py -3 scripts/ci/validate_agent_setup.py --skip-externaland the smallest directly affected tests. Inspect result artifacts rather than banners alone.
Before every task, follow the canonical ChaosEngine. Load project identity from .chaos-engine/identity.md. Use .chaos-engine/tool.py for the project-local Memory, MemPalace, and Graphify tools. Prefer gh for GitHub when gh exists and is configured. CLI over MCP when both exist. Default MCP catalog never includes GitHub MCP.
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.
