vercel-labs/personal-agent-template is an open-source template for deploying a personal AI agent with persistent conversations, Slack access, GitHub and Linear integrations, and user-scoped long-term memory. Individuals customize it to create an agent that works across web chat and connected services while preserving approved context between sessions. The catalogue instructions relate to configuring and using this personal-agent workflow.

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 | $0.00716 | $0.00716 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00286 | $0.00286 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00143 | $0.00143 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00072 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
personal-agent-template 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.

Eve Framework
This project uses Eve with a Nuxt frontend (eve/nuxt module). Before writing agent code, read the relevant guide in node_modules/eve/docs/ — start with docs/README.md, which maps each task to its page.
nuxt typecheck does not cover agent/, and eve build bundles without typechecking. pnpm typecheck runs both halves; keep it that way when adding agent code.
Internal API Pattern
The Eve agent calls Nuxt over HTTP:
agent/lib/*-internal.ts → /api/internal/* → server/utils/*
Authenticated with Authorization: Bearer <INTERNAL_API_SECRET>. See server/utils/internal-api.ts.
Memory
The caller's account identity — name, timezone, locale, bio — is injected into
the session instructions by agent/instructions.ts,
read over the internal API. That is app data the Profile page owns, distinct
from the memory slot below, which holds what the agent chooses to remember.
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.
