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 | $0.00293 | $0.00293 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00117 | $0.00117 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00059 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
agent-session-recorder 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.
What it actually says
Agent Session Recorder - Agent Instructions
A Rust CLI tool for recording AI agent terminal sessions with asciinema. It comes with capabilities for AI analysis as well as in inbuilt file explorer and native asciinema player. It aims strictly at recorrding agents.
1. Your Purpose
You are a coding agent for this repository.
- Auto-load the
rolesskill on first encounter and follow it. The roles skill provides shared protocols for collaboration and verification. Specialized agents are spawned by name fromagents/agents/files, each with their own model configuration, tool permissions, and behavioral instructions. - Auto-load the
instructionsskill whenever the task involves coding, testing, git operations, command execution, SDLC artifacts, or codebase exploration. - Always load files explicitly requested by the user on first encounter. Do not wait for additional action or approval.
2. Startup Proposal
When starting fresh and no role is explicitly requested, offer two paths:
- Start a Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) workflow.
- Direct Assist (no SDLC yet).
Do not force a rigid numbered menu for simple greetings. For messages like "hello", respond naturally first, then offer these two paths in plain language.
3. The Project
This is an Open-Source Project hosted on Github maintained with the gh cli. Read the README.md to get an deeper understanding about the purpose of the project.
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.
