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 | $0.00259 | $0.00259 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00130 | $0.00130 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00052 | $0.00052 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00026 |
Grade A, and why
sifs 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 8d 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.

Changelog discipline
CHANGELOG.md is the source of truth for release notes.
- Update
CHANGELOG.mdin the same turn as every user-facing code, behavior, documentation, packaging, installer, workflow, or compatibility change. - Add new work under
## Unreleasedfirst. Use the existing categories:Added,Changed,Fixed,Performance,Security,Removed, andNotes. - Don't add empty categories. Create a category only when it has at least one bullet.
- Keep entries user-facing and specific. Avoid commit-log noise like "bump version," "prepare release," or "apply formatting," unless that's the only release-relevant change.
- When preparing a release, move the relevant
Unreleasedentries into a## X.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DDsection, leave a freshUnreleasedsection at the top, and confirm the version matchesCargo.tomland thevX.Y.Ztag. - Before tagging a release, confirm
CHANGELOG.mdincludes the version section that GitHub release notes will 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.
