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 | $0.01343 | $0.01343 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00537 | $0.00537 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00269 | $0.00269 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00134 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
umpire 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Umpire Contributor Guide
AGENTS.md is the canonical repo-level instruction file. Keep CLAUDE.md and .cursor/rules/umpire.md symlinked to this file so local tooling stays aligned.
Repo Shape
- Umpire is a declarative field-availability engine for object-shaped state with interdependent options. It is not limited to forms.
- Root workspaces live in
packages/*.docs/is a separate Astro/Starlight app and is not part of the root Yarn workspaces. - Published packages:
core,react,signals,store,zustand,redux,tanstack-store,pinia,vuex,zod,json,reads,write,drizzle,testing,devtools.
Build And Test
Canonical commands and single-package iteration workflows live in CONTRIBUTING.md. Check there first.
Quick reference (root): yarn test, yarn build, yarn typecheck.
Never invoke turbo, bun, or npm directly — use the Yarn wrappers. Tests depend on Yarn workspace resolution and per-package bunfig.toml preloads; bypassing Yarn skips both.
Architecture
@umpire/coreowns pure logic, graph construction, evaluation,umpire(),scorecard(), andchallenge().@umpire/storeis the subscription adapter foundation.redux,pinia,tanstack-store, andvuexnormalize into it;zustandre-exports it because Zustand already fits the contract.@umpire/reactis intentionally thin.@umpire/signalsis the fine-grained reactive adapter.@umpire/json,@umpire/zod,@umpire/reads,@umpire/write,@umpire/drizzle,@umpire/testing, and@umpire/devtoolsare optional helper packages layered on top of core.
Behavior To Preserve
- Satisfaction is presence-based by default: only
nullandundefinedare unsatisfied unless a field overridesisEmpty. - When describing
fair: false, say the field or value isfoul, notunfair. requireschecks both dependency satisfaction and dependency availability.disablesandoneOfinspect source values only, not source availability.- Multiple rules on the same target are ANDed; use
anyOf()for OR behavior. - Disabled fields must report
required: false. play()suggests resets only for fields that became disabled and still hold stale values.challenge()andscorecard()are debugging surfaces, not app-state inputs.
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.
