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 | $0.00235 | $0.00235 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00094 | $0.00094 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00047 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
windsurfrules 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 29d 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
92% identical to cursorrules — 2 lines 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
Windsurf Assistant Guidelines & Aethos Memory Rules
Aethos Memory System Rules
- You are equipped with Aethos Memory (
remember,recall,audit_action,record_activity,distill_lesson,promote_to_skill,get_memory_context). - AUTOMATIC PERSISTENCE: Silently call
remember()on EVERY turn whenever user preferences, tech stack choices, architectural plans, or project decisions are discussed. Do NOT wait for explicit user prompt commands. - PROACTIVE RECALL: Call
get_memory_context(task="...")before starting work on complex features or debugging. - PRE-FLIGHT SAFETY AUDIT: Call
audit_action()before executing risky shell commands (e.g. destructive deletions, disk formatting, piping scripts to bash). - FLIGHT RECORDER: Call
record_activity()to log significant execution steps, tool invocations, shell outputs, and error traces. - SKILL PROMOTION: After fixing non-trivial bugs, distill the solution using
distill_lesson()andpromote_to_skill().
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.

windsurfrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository nisargpatel1906/Aethos_Memory (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 235 tokens to every session, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to cursorrules, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
