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 | $0.00534 | $0.00534 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00214 | $0.00214 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00107 | $0.00107 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00053 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
autoforge 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
autoforge — Agent Instructions
This file provides instructions for AI coding agents (Codex CLI, Claude Code, etc.) working on this repository.
Overview
autoforge is an autonomous SDLC framework. You have access to harness tools via bash commands.
Available Tools
# Search codebase for patterns
PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m autoforge.harness.tools search "pattern" --dir autoforge/
# View file with line numbers
PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m autoforge.harness.tools view path/to/file.py --start 1 --end 50
# Edit file (with Python syntax validation)
PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m autoforge.harness.tools edit path/to/file.py --old "old code" --new "new code"
# Run shell command
PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m autoforge.harness.tools run-cmd "pytest tests/ -v"
# List directory
PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m autoforge.harness.tools list-dir autoforge/agents
# Extract search patterns from issue text
PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m autoforge.harness.tools localize --issue "bug description"
# Analyze a repository and propose goals
PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m autoforge.harness.init --dir /path/to/repo

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.

autoforge AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository shigel/autoforge (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 534 tokens to every session, about $0.0021 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.
