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 | $0.00682 | $0.00682 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00273 | $0.00273 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00136 | $0.00136 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00068 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
troy javascript.instructions.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 2d 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
JavaScript Rules
- Use ES6+.
- Do not write constant functions.
- Do not use JSX.
- Never use
wp.data.subscribe. - Apply PHP spacing standards, including vertical alignment.
- Align object
:with spaces after the separator. - After a
functionopening{, insert a blank line when the body has two or more statements. A single-statement body stays tight. A leading comment is not a statement: comment plus a singlereturnoryieldstays tight. With two or more statements, the blank line comes first so the first comment sits on the next interior line. Do not insert that blank afterif,else, loop,try, or labeled{(label: {) braces. - A
returnoryieldthat ends that interior always has a blank line before it if that interior has two or more statements. Earlyreturn/yieldinsideif/elsecount: the blank is a visual split that this path ends there. A single-statement interior that is only areturnoryieldstays tight. Own-line comments immediately above thatreturnoryieldstay attached to it; the blank line goes before that comment group. Do not insert that blank beforecontinueorbreak. After an earlyreturn,continue, orbreakguard, insert a blank line before the next sibling statement, including another guard. - Compact
if/else if: keep a voidreturn;,continue;, orbreak;on the same line when that line is at most 80 columns (tab = 4). Put areturnwith a value on the next line, unbraced. If that compact void line exceeds 80, put the terminator on the next line, unbraced. Do not wrap a single expression (no&&/||) just to make room for the terminator. If an&&/||condition line exceeds 80, wrap at those operators (first operand padded by 3 spaces) and use braces. Do not wrap only thereturn. - For
=> {, add a newline after{when the body has two or more statements and the first is notreturn, or when the only statement is a multi-line bracedif,for,while, orswitch. Stay tight for a wrappedreturnor call, an unbraced one-lineif, and atry/catcharound a single call. Concise=> exprwithout braces stays as-is. - Ignore long
__-prefixed properties for spacing and alignment purposes. - Use
constinstead ofimport. - Do not add parentheses to lone parameters in arrow functions.
- Put each chained method call on a new line.
- Add trailing commas on multiline calls, arrays, objects, and parameter lists.
- Do not create, edit, read, grep, search, or
git diff*.min.jsor*.min.css, including after minify exit code 0.
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.

troy javascript.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository sybrew/troy (55 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 682 tokens to every session, about $0.0027 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 2026-10-26.
