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 | $0.01887 | $0.01887 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00755 | $0.00755 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00377 | $0.00377 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00189 | $0.00189 |
Grade A, and why
progi 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 176 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
What this is
Progi is an MCP-native workflow engine. Key terms:
- workflow: a reusable template of ordered steps; defines a repeatable, reused across many tasks
- step: one unit of work in a workflow; has a playbook, an input spec, and an output spec
- playbook: markdown attached to a step; the agent reads it via
start_or_continue_taskand follows it - task: a single execution of a workflow; progresses through steps one at a time with lifecycle
todo→in_progress→done
Two interfaces over one SQLite DB:
- Progi MCP server (FastMCP, stdio) — the work loop runs here, inside the user's harness.
- Progi Monitoring (FastAPI + Jinja + Alpine/AlpineAJAX) — a web app for tracking tasks and reviewing workflows.
The one rule
All database access goes through progi/db.py. MCP tools and web routes
are thin adapters that call named functions there — they never write SQL. This is
what keeps LLM-driven and human-driven edits behaviorally identical.

Frontend / UI components
Templates live in progi/web/templates/. The UI stack is:
- Tailwind CSS v4 (compiled by the standalone CLI via
just build) - Alpine.js v3 + Alpine AJAX — vendored to
static/vendor/byjust vendorize - PenguinUI — a copy-paste component library; no install needed
Using PenguinUI
Browse components at https://www.penguinui.com/components, pick what you need, and paste the HTML directly into a template. There is nothing to download or import — PenguinUI components are just Tailwind + Alpine markup.
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.

progi AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository zseta/progi (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,887 tokens to every session, about $0.0075 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 2026-08-31.
