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 | $0.00127 | $0.00127 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00051 | $0.00051 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00025 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00013 |
Grade A, and why
costrict 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to Roo-Code AGENTS.md — 1 line differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
AGENTS.md
This file provides guidance to agents when working with code in this repository.
- Settings View Pattern: When working on
SettingsView, inputs must bind to the localcachedState, NOT the liveuseExtensionState(). ThecachedStateacts as a buffer for user edits, isolating them from theContextProxysource-of-truth until the user explicitly clicks "Save". Wiring inputs directly to the live state causes race conditions. - Commit messages must be written in English and follow Conventional Commits (
type(scope): summary). Never use Chinese in commit messages, even for local-only commits.
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.
