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 | $0.02227 | $0.02227 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00891 | $0.00891 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00445 | $0.00445 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00223 | $0.00223 |
Grade A, and why
kitaru 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 3d 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 — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository Guidelines
Kitaru is a mixed Python + docs repo. It produces the Python package (SDK and server) and the SDK reference docs app. The public marketing site and kitaru.ai runtime live in the sibling zenml-io-v2 repository, not here.
Positioning surfaces (README, docs leads, PyPI description) lead with insights, in the Kitaru product page's four steps: bring your traces, get insights across every session, turn findings into checks, and replay a fix before it ships. Replay is how a fix gets tested, not the headline.

For adapter, importer, specialized UI API, docs, CI, and release work, load the matching Kitaru repo skill under .agents/skills/. Keep each logical repo skill available under the same name in .claude/skills/; share host-neutral guidance and diverge only for a documented host-specific reason.
Before editing a subtree, read the AGENTS.md files along its path that have not already been loaded. If a directory has no AGENTS.md but has a CLAUDE.md, read that guidance too.
Task scope and follow-through
Complete the work authorized by the user's request, including relevant verification and final review. Make reasonable assumptions for routine choices and continue independent authorized work while a material decision is pending. Task skills guide execution; they do not independently authorize commits, publication, or release actions. Do not ask again for an action already authorized in the conversation.
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.
