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 | $0.01486 | $0.01486 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00594 | $0.00594 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00297 | $0.00297 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00149 | $0.00149 |
Grade A, and why
skills 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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Working in this repository
A personal collection of Agent Skills. Each skill is a self-contained directory under
skills/<name>/, with its own SKILL.md and whatever references, scripts and tests it
needs.
Commits
Prefix the subject with the skill you worked on, lowercase after the colon:
diff-tour: pack chapters into forks rather than one fork each
self-review: ask the reviewer for a verdict, not a summary
The prefix is what makes git log --oneline readable in a repo where unrelated skills
sit side by side — you can see at a glance which skill a change belongs to, and
git log --oneline | grep '^\w* diff-tour:' is the history of one skill.
A change that is not about one skill takes no prefix: repo-wide housekeeping, the README, this file.
Ignore Python bytecode caches
Write the subject as an imperative describing the change, not the file touched. Don't add a body unless the reason genuinely does not fit in the subject.
A skill's own conventions win
Anything about how a skill works — its procedure, its file layout, how its tests run — belongs in that skill's own documentation, and that documentation is the authority. This file only covers what is true across the repository.
Where a skill has tests, run them before committing a change to it. diff-tour, for
instance, has skills/diff-tour/tests/test_difftour.py.
bin/test-all.sh runs everything: the repo-wide suites under tests/, then each
skill's own suite. It discovers suites rather than listing them, so a new skill's tests
are picked up with no wiring. GitHub Actions runs that same script
(.github/workflows/tests.yml) on every push to main and on every pull request, so
"passes locally" and "passes on CI" are the same command. A branch with no pull request
open gets no CI run, which is the price of never running twice for one push. It needs only python3, git and bash — never add a pip install or a
version manager to either side.
CI deliberately runs a newer Python than this machine, which is the direction that warns you early instead of flattering you. Keep the Python here compatible with both: standard library only, no syntax newer than the oldest interpreter in use.
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.
