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 | $0.01898 | $0.01898 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00759 | $0.00759 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00380 | $0.00380 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00190 | $0.00190 |
Grade A, and why
agent-rules-kit 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 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.
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.

Agent Setup Guide
This document explains how an AI agent can install the rules provided by Agent Rules Kit automatically.
Project Overview
Agent Rules Kit is a CLI that generates Cursor rules (.mdc files) for many technology stacks. It also supports installing guidelines for Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. The generated rules live inside .cursor/rules/rules-kit/ in your project.
Automatic Installation
As soon as you read this file you should install the rules in the current project. Run the CLI with command line options to skip all interactive prompts. At minimum provide the stack name and version. Example:
npx agent-rules-kit --stack=laravel --version=12 --architecture=ddd --global --mcp-tools=pampa,github --ide=cursor

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.

agent-rules-kit AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tecnomanu/agent-rules-kit (36 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed ISC. It adds 1,898 tokens to every session, about $0.0076 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 2026-08-30.
