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 | $0.00118 | $0.02689 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00047 | $0.01076 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00538 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00269 |
Grade A, and why
ai-instruction-standards 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 14d 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 — 326 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill is part of a three-layer AI collaboration system:
| Layer | Skill | Question it Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Behavior (Immediate) | /ai-collaboration |
"How should AI respond accurately?" |
| Configuration (Session) | /ai-instruction-standards (this) |
"What to write in CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md?" |
| Architecture (Long-term) | /ai-friendly-architecture |
"How to structure code for AI?" |
Purpose
This skill helps create and maintain AI instruction files with proper separation between universal standards and project-specific configurations, across all major AI coding tools.

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.
- 14d ago First seen · 326 lines · 118 tokens per session scan A 95d8d91c1773
ai-instruction-standards is a skill published in the GitHub repository AsiaOstrich/EngramGraph (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 2,689 once invoked, 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 2026-10-16.
