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 | $0.00057 | $0.01712 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00856 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00342 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00171 |
Grade A, and why
adk-style-guide 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 10d 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 — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ADK-TS Style Guide
Overview
This skill enforces ADK-TS brand identity, terminology, voice, and formatting conventions across all written content in the monorepo. It applies to documentation pages, READMEs, changelogs, code comments, and any developer-facing text.
When to Use
- Writing or editing any
.mdor.mdxfile in the repo - Creating changelogs or release notes
- Writing code comments or docstrings that reference ADK-TS
- Reviewing content for consistency
Brand Identity & Positioning
Naming Rules (Critical)
| Rule | Correct | Incorrect |
|---|---|---|
| Framework name | ADK-TS | ADK, adk-ts, ADK TS, Adk-Ts |
| Never expand the acronym | ADK-TS | Agent Development Kit, Agent Development Kit for TypeScript |
| CLI references | ADK-TS CLI | adk CLI, the CLI, ADK CLI |
| Package names in code | @iqai/adk, @iqai/adk-cli |
These are acceptable as-is (they are npm identifiers) |
Tagline & Description
- Tagline: "The TypeScript-Native AI Agent Framework"
- Short description: "An open-source framework for building production-ready AI agents in TypeScript"
- People do not need to know what ADK-TS stands for. Just reference it as ADK-TS.
SEO-Aligned Language
Use these terms naturally in content:
- "TypeScript AI agents"
- "TypeScript agent framework"
- "build AI agents in TypeScript"
- "AI agent orchestration in TypeScript"
Avoid leading with these (they pull into Google's ADK space):
- "Agent Development Kit"
- "ADK" alone
Terminology
Always use these exact terms:
| Correct Term | Avoid |
|---|---|
| agent | bot (unless literally a bot template like Telegram/Discord) |
| tool | function (when referring to agent capabilities) |
| session | conversation (for the persistence layer) |
| runner | executor (for the agent runner) |
| MCP server | MCP plugin, MCP integration |
AgentBuilder |
agent builder (lowercase, when referring to the class) |
LlmAgent |
LLM agent (lowercase, when referring to the class) |
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.
