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 | $0.02021 | $0.02021 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00808 | $0.00808 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00404 | $0.00404 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00202 | $0.00202 |
Grade A, and why
nlpm 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 28d 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 — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Project Instructions
nlpm
nlpm
Natural-Language Programming Manager — multi-tool (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity) NL artifact scoring, checking, fixing, and testing. Delivered as a Claude Code plugin; the scoring rubric covers all three ecosystems via tier-aware overlays (see analysis/multi-tool-design-2026-05.md).
Architecture
Commands orchestrate agents. Agents use skills as reference knowledge.
Each command does one thing -- no flags (except --changed on score).
Per-file roles, models and skill bindings: see docs/architecture.md.
commands/*.md--/nlpm:ls, score, check, fix, trend, test, init, security-scan, vocab-init, vocab-drift, report, spec-sync.commands/shared/(discover, classify, append-history) holds partials that are not user-invocable.agents/*.md-- scanner and vague-scanner (haiku, mechanical); scorer, checker, tester, security-scanner, vocab-drift-scanner, spec-researcher (sonnet). spec-researcher is read-only and never edits.skills/nlpm/-- auto-loaded via agentskills:frontmatter: conventions, conventions-claude, conventions-codex, conventions-antigravity, scoring, testing, security.

When you add, rename or remove a command, agent or skill, update this list and docs/architecture.md in the same change, then run /nlpm:check.
Self-Tests
- .nlpm-test/ -- NL-TDD spec files for 5 of the 8 agents (scanner, scorer, checker, vague-scanner, tester; dogfooding NL-TDD)
- tests/ -- Python unittest suite for bin/nlpm-check, bin/nlpm-badge and the auditor scripts
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.

nlpm AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository xiaolai/nlpm (153 stars, last pushed today), licensed ISC. It adds 2,021 tokens to every session, about $0.0081 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
