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 | $0.00469 | $0.00469 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00188 | $0.00188 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00094 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
rust-bash 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
AGENTS.md
Minimal operating guide for AI agents in this repo.
Canonical spec
- Single source of truth:
docs/guidebook/(see guidebook README)
Steps to do for any task
Agents MUST follow these steps for every task:
- Read the relevant chapter(s) in
docs/guidebook/. - Map the task to the milestones in Chapter 10.
- Understand how the task relates to other subsystems before implementing.
- Implement without over-engineering. Prioritize readability and maintainability. The project currently has a low user base and MUST NOT implement any backward compatibility or legacy handling.
- Review your own changes thoroughly to fix any issues found and verify the original goal was met.
- If any oracle agent is available to you, ask it to review your changes as well thoroughly in parallel and check which comments make sense, and fix those.
- Check if the changes done in the task need an update to
README.mdordocs/guidebookand make the changes if so including, but not limited to, marking the completed items appropriately in the plan.
Agent execution rules
- All file operations in rust-bash go through
VirtualFs— never usestd::fsin command or interpreter code. - No
std::process::Command— all commands are in-process Rust implementations. - Reuse existing types/traits before adding new abstractions.
- Keep changes incremental and test-gated.
- Run
cargo fmt,cargo clippy -- -D warningsandcargo teston touched areas before finishing. - Whenever any code changes are made, make sure all builds (main package, node and wasm packages, all examples, all tests, etc) build and test fine
- File, function, and test names should describe behavior, not planning phases.
- Avoid clippy allow directives — fix the underlying issue instead.
- If requirements are unclear or conflicting, ask the user instead of guessing.
- When choosing between design approaches, present pros/cons and ask the user.
- Whenever adding any dependency crate, make sure we are using the latest version of it.
- NEVER commit any changes unless explcitly asked for by the user.
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.

rust-bash AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository shantanugoel/rust-bash (34 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 469 tokens to every session, about $0.0019 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 2026-08-30.
