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 | $0.00474 | $0.00474 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00190 | $0.00190 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00095 | $0.00095 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
templates 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 28d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 41 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Instructions
This file gives AI coding agents the minimum context needed to work safely in this repository. It applies to the whole repo.
Start Here
- Read
README.md,CONTRIBUTING.md, andCOMMUNITY_TEMPLATE_GUIDE.mdbefore changing template behavior. - Use the focused notes in
docs/agents/for repo map, template metadata, validation, and review checks. - Keep changes small and local to the affected template or script.
- Do not overwrite user work or generated files by hand.
Common Commands
pnpm installinstalls root tooling.pnpm generateregenerates template metadata and docs.pnpm lintvalidates template structure, metadata, Open Graph images, and formatting.pnpm formatformats repo files.pnpm healthruns the templates health check (install + build + deps/audit/deprecation/doc-drift). Seedocs/agents/health-check.md.pnpm health:testruns the health check's own unit tests.
Editing Rules
- Read
docs/agents/repository-map.mdbefore assuming current directory layout. - Do not manually edit generated files unless you are updating the generator and intentionally checking output.
- If you change a template
package.json, add/remove a template, or change metadata, runpnpm generate. - Every template directory listed in root
package.jsonrepokit.groupsmust contain apackage.jsonandog-image.png. - Never add secrets, private keys, personal wallet data, local RPC credentials, or real API tokens.
- Keep
.envfiles out of templates. Use.env.examplewhen configuration is needed, with placeholders for sensitive values and safe defaults for non-sensitive values. - For agent, MCP, wallet, or transaction automation templates, document authentication, permissions, and user approval boundaries clearly.

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.
