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 | $0.00824 | $0.00824 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00330 | $0.00330 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00165 | $0.00165 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00082 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
sx 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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Quick Commands
make build # Build binary to ./dist/sx
make test # Run tests
make format # Format code
make lint # Run linter
make prepush # Format + lint + test + build (run before claiming done)
Before Reporting Work Complete
ALWAYS run make prepush before claiming a task is finished. CI runs
format, lint, tests, and build — if any of those fail locally, don't
tell the user the work is done.
Testing Local Changes
After making code changes, build and test with:
make build && ./dist/sx <command>

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.

sx AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository sleuth-io/sx (315 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0.
