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 | $0.00421 | $0.00421 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00168 | $0.00168 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00084 | $0.00084 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00042 |
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 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 windsurfrules — 0 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
🚨 CRITICAL SYSTEM INSTRUCTION 🚨
Before answering ANY prompt or executing ANY code in this repository, you MUST first read and strictly adhere to ALL the rules defined in the following directory:
Rules Location
📁 .agent/rules/
🚨 CRITICAL TOKEN LIMIT PROTOCOL 🚨
Do NOT load all files in .agent/rules/ simultaneously. You will exceed the context window.
You MUST follow this strict loading sequence:
- Load Core Fundamentals: Always read
01-general.mdthrough12-docs.md. - Consult the Lazy-Loading Router: Read
.agent/rules/00-index.mdto discover technology-specific rules. - Load On Demand: Based on the index, load ONLY the specific
.mdfiles relevant to your current task (e.g.,react.mdfor a React task).
Why This File Exists
This project uses a unified rule system to ensure consistent AI behavior
across all AI-powered IDEs and tools (Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot,
Cline, Claude, Gemini, Trae, Roo Code, Augment, Amazon Q, Kiro,
Continue, Junie, etc.). This file is a redirect entry point —
the actual rules live in .agent/rules/ as the Single Source of Truth.
Failure to follow the rules inside
.agent/rules/and the Lazy-Loading protocol is completely unacceptable.
Slash Commands / Workflows
All AI slash commands and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are located in .agent/workflows/. If the user invokes a command like /speckit.plan, execute the corresponding markdown file in that directory.
--- Spec Kit AI IDE Integration ---
This project uses Spec Kit.
CRITICAL: If you need to execute workflows or commands, refer to the files in .agent/workflows/.
CRITICAL: For project governance and rules, refer to .agent/rules/00-index.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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 39 lines · 421 tokens per session scan A 475e7e4f9670
windsurfrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository snowdreamtech/template (16 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 421 tokens to every session, about $0.0017 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to windsurfrules, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
