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 | $0.03871 | $0.03871 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01548 | $0.01548 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00774 | $0.00774 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00387 | $0.00387 |
Grade A, and why
code-assistant 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 today.
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 — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Architecture Overview
This is a Rust-based AI coding agent harness with multiple operational modes.
Crate Layers
Layer 0 (generic): llm command_executor pty_session fs_explorer sandbox web git github terminal terminal_output audio
process_env — the login environment every child process starts with
Layer 1 (generic): tools_core — tool trait, registry, render, spec, permissions
mcp_client — wraps MCP server tools as registry tools
Layer 2 (generic): agent_core — agent loop, hook traits, dialect trait, AgentUi trait
Layer 3 (domain): code_assistant_core — sessions, SessionService, event stream, UiEvent,
tool impls, dialects (xml/caret), plugins, sub-agents
Layer 4 (frontends): ui_gpui ui_terminal ui_acp mcp_server
Layer 5 (binary): code_assistant — CLI, config, feature-gated frontend wiring

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.
