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 | $0.00428 | $0.00428 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00086 | $0.00086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00043 | $0.00043 |
Grade C, and why
ai-switchboard AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

<!-- headroom:rtk-instructions --> What it actually says
RTK (Rust Token Killer) - Token-Optimized Commands
When running shell commands, always prefix with rtk. This reduces context
usage by 60-90% with zero behavior change. If rtk has no filter for a command,
it passes through unchanged — so it is always safe to use.
Key Commands
# Git (59-80% savings)
rtk git status rtk git diff rtk git log
# Files & Search (60-75% savings)
rtk ls <path> rtk read <file> rtk grep <pattern>
rtk find <pattern> rtk diff <file>
# Test (90-99% savings) — shows failures only
rtk pytest tests/ rtk cargo test rtk test <cmd>
# Build & Lint (80-90% savings) — shows errors only
rtk tsc rtk lint rtk cargo build
rtk prettier --check rtk mypy rtk ruff check
# Analysis (70-90% savings)
rtk err <cmd> rtk log <file> rtk json <file>
rtk summary <cmd> rtk deps rtk env
# GitHub (26-87% savings)
rtk gh pr view <n> rtk gh run list rtk gh issue list
# Infrastructure (85% savings)
rtk docker ps rtk kubectl get rtk docker logs <c>
# Package managers (70-90% savings)
rtk pip list rtk pnpm install rtk npm run <script>
Rules
- In command chains, prefix each segment:
rtk git add . && rtk git commit -m "msg" - For debugging, use raw command without rtk prefix
rtk proxy <cmd>runs command without filtering but tracks usage
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.
