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
cursorrules 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.
What it actually says
Follow the engineering standard defined in AGENTS.md at the repository root.
Apply its Universal Laws to all code you write, review, refactor, or design — silently, without narrating the rules. The priority order is fixed: Correct → Clear → Simple → Maintainable → Fast.
When a task touches a specific domain, open and apply the matching deep-dive file under skills/engineering-standards/reference/: architecture, paradigms, algorithms, backend, data, concurrency, frontend, mobile, cloud, systems, security, testing, git-craft.
Before calling work done, pass the Review Gate in AGENTS.md.
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.

cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository S13G/engineering-standards-plugin (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 127 tokens to every session, about $0.0005 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.
