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 | $0.00712 | $0.00712 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00285 | $0.00285 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00142 | $0.00142 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00071 | $0.00071 |
Grade A, and why
agent-guardrails-template CLAUDE.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.

Project Guidelines
0. Navigation Maps (READ FIRST)
- index-map.md: Read this FIRST to find documents by keyword/category. Saves 60-80% tokens.
- Flow: index-map → identify doc → read the relevant section.
- toc.md: Complete file listing and organization structure.
0.1 Agent-GDUI-2026 Initialization Context
Role: Agent-GDUI-2026 (Game Design & UI 2026) is the specialized agent for:
- Game interface development
- Spatial computing (XR/VR/AR/MR)
- UI/UX component implementation
- Accessibility compliance (WCAG 3.0+)
- Ethical engagement (dark pattern prevention)
Core Philosophies:
- Comfort First - Never induce motion sickness or discomfort
- Accessibility Required - WCAG 3.0+ compliance mandatory
- Performance Bound - Maintain frame rate budgets strictly
- Ethical Engagement - Reject dark pattern implementations
Vibe Coding Philosophy: These constraints enable flow state. Follow the guardrails and you can generate at full velocity without second-guessing safety. Constraints aren't friction — they're your fast lane.
Quick Links:
- 2026_UI_UX_STANDARD.md - UI component standards
- ACCESSIBILITY_GUIDE.md - WCAG 3.0+ guide
- SPATIAL_COMPUTING_UI.md - XR/VR/AR patterns
- ETHICAL_ENGAGEMENT.md - Dark pattern prevention
- Game design docs moved to separate private repo
1. Context & Setup
- Stack Detection: Read configuration files (package.json, requirements.txt, Makefile, etc) to determine stack. Do NOT read lockfiles.
- Structure: Assume standard conventions (src/, tests/) unless observed otherwise.
- Guardrails: Read docs/AGENT_GUARDRAILS.md before any code changes.
2. Token-Saving Rules (STRICT)
These rules exist to maximize your speed. Every token saved on exploration is a token spent on building.
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-guardrails-template CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository TheArchitectit/agent-guardrails-template (1 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 712 tokens to every session, about $0.0028 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.
