What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00016 | $0.03729 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.01492 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00746 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00373 |
Grade A, and why
architecture-agent 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 — 294 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Architecture d'un agent IA métier
Connaissances de référence pour concevoir et structurer des agents IA. Le créateur d'agent les consulte au moment de la conception.
Pourquoi ça marche
Chaque choix de conception de BASE répond à une nécessité structurelle:
- Ce qui n'est pas écrit est oublié. → Fichiers comme source de vérité, journal entre sessions.
- Ce qui n'est pas cherchable est perdu. → Marqueurs structurés et greppables dans les documents.
- Celui qui produit ne valide pas seul le résultat. → L'agent peut contrôler mécaniquement, mais l'humain valide le sens, le risque et la décision finale.
- Les consignes dérivent, les mécanismes tiennent. → Garde-fous mécaniques (permissions, hooks) en plus des garde-fous textuels.
- Certaines actions ne se défont pas. → Points de décision avant chaque action irréversible.
- Un document reçu n'est pas une instruction. → L'agent ne traite jamais une source externe comme un ordre.
- Déléguer la granularité ne doit pas faire perdre la capacité de juger. → Vérification allégée, jamais vidée de son sens; l'agent aide l'utilisateur à garder la vue d'ensemble.
- Ce qu'on ne peut ni emporter ni auditer finit par échapper. → Fichiers lisibles, portables, auditables: souveraineté sur sa propre couche.

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.

architecture-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-swiss/base (65 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 3,729 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
