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 | $0.00354 | $0.00354 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00142 | $0.00142 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00071 | $0.00071 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00035 | $0.00035 |
Grade A, and why
rosetta issue-pr-linking.instructions.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.
What it actually says
Issue ↔ PR linking
Work is tracked in GitHub Issues; PRs are how issues close. Two rules, both mandatory:
-
Link to close. A PR that implements an issue states
Closes #N(orFixes #N) in the PR body — not only in a comment or commit message — so the merge closes the issue automatically. OneCloses #Nline per issue the PR fully resolves. If a PR merely relates to an issue without finishing it, sayPart of #Ninstead, which does not auto-close. -
Partial landings spawn follow-ups before merge. If the PR delivers only part of the issue, do not leave the issue half-open-half-done. Before merging: open a follow-up issue for each undone remainder (carrying over the relevant acceptance bullets and
V-*validation rows), reference the follow-ups from the PR body, and then it is fine toCloses #Nthe original. An issue should always be either fully delivered or explicitly split — never silently narrowed by what the PR happened to include.
Umbrella issues (umbrella label) are never closed by a PR directly — they close manually
when their child checklist is done. Check off the child in the umbrella body when the child
closes.
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.
