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 | $0.00997 | $0.00997 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00399 | $0.00399 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00199 | $0.00199 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00100 | $0.00100 |
Grade A, and why
zkbugs 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build, Test, and Development Commands
- Download codebases:
./scripts/download_sources.sh - Download ptau files:
./scripts/download_ptau.sh - Compile all circom bugs:
./scripts/test_all_circom.sh --compile-only --mode both - Full test (direct mode):
./scripts/test_all_circom.sh --skip-large - Print status table:
python3 scripts/print_bug_status.py Circom - Per-bug workflow (run inside the bug folder): edit
zkbugs_vars.sh(paths, entrypoints,PTAU_TARGET) →./zkbugs_setup.sh→./zkbugs_compile.shor./zkbugs_compile_setup.sh→./zkbugs_positive_test.sh→./zkbugs_clean.sh. - Two modes via
ZKBUGS_MODEenv var:direct(isolated wrapper) ororiginal(full project entrypoint). - Circom tooling:
scripts/install_circom.shinstallscircom,snarkjs, andffjavascriptwhen needed.
Coding Style & Naming Conventions
- Python: PEP 8, 4-space indent; keep scripts in
scripts/with descriptive names. - Shell: portable Bash; prefer
set -euo pipefailwhere safe; name per-bug scriptszkbugs_*.sh; mark executable. - JSON: four-space indent, stable key order; required file name:
zkbugs_config.json. - Bug paths: snake_case, descriptive (e.g.,
.../zksecurity_unsound_left_rotation).
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.

zkbugs AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository zksecurity/zkbugs (351 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 997 tokens to every session, about $0.0040 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.
