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 | $0.00772 | $0.00772 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00386 | $0.00386 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00154 | $0.00154 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00077 | $0.00077 |
Grade A, and why
better-agent-terminal 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 9d 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 — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md - Project Guidelines
Follow the project guidance in CLAUDE.md. The most important operational notes are repeated here for agents that load AGENTS.md first.
Package Management
- This repository uses pnpm. Do not use
npm install,npm ci, ornpxfor project workflows. - The pinned package manager is declared in
package.json(packageManager:[email protected]). - Use
pnpm install --frozen-lockfilefor reproducible installs. - Use
pnpm exec <tool>instead ofnpx <tool>. - Keep
pnpm-lock.yamlcommitted and do not reintroducepackage-lock.json. - pnpm v10 blocks dependency lifecycle scripts unless explicitly allowed; required build-script packages are listed under
pnpm.onlyBuiltDependenciesinpackage.json.
Verification
- Run
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit --pretty falsefor type checking. - Run
pnpm run compilefor the standard build check. - Run
pnpm run test:sidecarwhen touching Node sidecar resolution or runtime startup. - Run
pnpm run check:tauri-rustwhen touching Rust/Tauri runtime code. Runpnpm run test:tauri-rustwhen touching Rust behavior covered by unit tests; the Windows test harness includes the required Common Controls v6 activation manifest. - For local packaging verification without macOS signing/notarization, run:
pnpm run tauri:build:debug
Project Rules
- Do not replace the built-in status line implementation.
- Renderer logs should use
window.batAppAPI.debug.log(...); Tauri/backend logs should use the project logger/debug helpers. - Tauri logs live under
<app-data>/logs/: renderer/Rust logs indebug.log, sidecar logs insidecar.log. On macOS fresh Tauri installs this is usually~/Library/Application Support/com.tonyq.better-agent-terminal/logs/debug.log; existing Electron migrations may use~/Library/Application Support/BetterAgentTerminal/logs/debug.log.BAT_TAURI_DATA_DIRoverrides this in dev/tests. - When modifying shared code such as stores, IPC handlers, or shared types, trace consumers before committing.
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.

better-agent-terminal AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tony1223/better-agent-terminal (498 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 772 tokens to every session, about $0.0039 per session on Opus 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.
