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 | $0.01093 | $0.01093 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00437 | $0.00437 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00219 | $0.00219 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00109 | $0.00109 |
Grade A, and why
stagecraft 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Host-neutral context for any LLM working on the Stagecraft codebase itself. (The CLI binary is devteam; the project is Stagecraft.) If you are using Stagecraft to drive another project's pipeline, read README.md instead.
Start here (in order)
CONTRIBUTING.md— setup, recipes for common changes, conventions, and the doc-update checklist.ARCHITECTURE.md— 15 locked design decisions. Do not break these casually.core/adapters/host-adapter.md— the contract every adapter must satisfy.docs/walkthroughs/stage-04-split-host.md— stress-test trace that locked the multi-workstream dispatch contract. Read before touching dispatch logic.
Test and lint commands
npm test # full offline test suite
npm run consistency # cross-artifact drift check
npx eslint . # linter
CI=true DEVTEAM_HEADLESS_COMMAND=cat npm test # full CI run (no host CLI needed)
DEVTEAM_HEADLESS_COMMAND=cat stubs the host CLI for headless tests without claude or codex installed.
Where things live
| Concern | Path |
|---|---|
| Stage definitions, tracks, role assignments | core/pipeline/stages.js |
| Routing config loader | core/config.js |
| Adapter discovery + per-(stage, role) resolution | core/router.js |
| Dispatch logic (runStage / next / merge) | core/orchestrator.js |
| Gate validator + per-stage schemas | core/gates/ |
| Guards (stoplist, security-heuristic, write-audit) | core/guards/ |
| Role briefs (single source of truth) | roles/*.md |
| Rules docs | rules/*.md |
| Task skills | skills/*/SKILL.md |
| Per-host adapters | hosts/<name>/{adapter.js, capabilities.json, install/} |
| CLI entry point | bin/devteam |
Load-bearing contracts (do not break without an ADR)
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.

stagecraft AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository telus-labs/stagecraft (7 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,093 tokens to every session, about $0.0044 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 2026-08-31.
