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 | $0.03620 | $0.03620 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01448 | $0.01448 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00724 | $0.00724 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00362 | $0.00362 |
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 today.
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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
vargHQ/skills is a library of Agent Skills for AI video, image, voice and music. Each top-level folder with a SKILL.md is one skill.
Use a skill
- Find the person's task in the index below (or in catalog.json). If nothing fits, search the keyless varg how to MCP (
https://api.varg.ai/v2/skills/mcp:search_how_to, thenget_how_to) or readhow-to-make-ai-video/SKILL.md. - Read
<skill>/SKILL.mdbefore anything else. It lists the inputs to ask for, the choices to put to the person, the steps, the prompts and the checks. Load itsreferences/only when the SKILL.md points there. - Ask the two to four choices the skill names, in the person's language, before spending anything.
- Skills that generate spend varg credits (1 credit = $0.01, provider price). Approve stills before video, call
estimate_costbefore a batch, a long video or a render, and wait for the person's yes. Never clear a cache. - Check the output the way the skill says (frames, loudness, text in the safe zone, faces and product unchanged) before handing over files.
Generate with the varg MCP (https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp, OAuth) or VARG_API_KEY against https://api.varg.ai/v2. Current model ids, inputs and limits: https://varg.ai/models/llms.txt.

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.
