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 | $0.00059 | $0.01527 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00763 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00305 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00153 |
Grade A, and why
project-governance 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 8d 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 — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Project Governance
Create, modify, and maintain project constitutions and agent instruction files that guide AI agents. Also supports RFC/ADR documents for formalizing technical decisions.
Quick Start
Create a constitution
# Analyze the project, then create oak/constitution.md
# See references/constitution-guide.md for the full process
Create agent instruction files
oak-dev rules detect-existing # Discover all configured agent instruction files
oak-dev rules sync-agents # Sync constitution references to all agent files
Commands Reference
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
oak-dev rules detect-existing |
Discover all configured agent instruction files |
oak-dev rules detect-existing --json |
Machine-readable output of agent files |
oak-dev rules sync-agents |
Sync constitution references to all agent instruction files |
oak-dev rules sync-agents --dry-run |

When to Use
- Creating a new constitution for a project that doesn't have one
- Creating agent instruction files for a new project (use
oak-dev rules detect-existingto discover correct file names) - Adding rules when you identify patterns that should be standardized
- Syncing agent files after constitution changes
- Learning context engineering theory behind effective rule writing -- see
/context-engineeringfor the altitude concept, canonical examples, and structured context patterns
Constitution Structure
A good constitution is explicit, enforceable, and anchored:
| Quality | Good | Bad |
|---|---|---|
| Specificity | "All API endpoints MUST validate input using Pydantic models" | "Use best practices" |
| Anchors | "Copy src/features/auth/service.py for new services" |
"Follow good patterns" |
| Non-goals | "This tool is NOT a CI/CD orchestrator" | (no boundaries) |
| Gates | "make check must pass for all changes" |
"Add tests if needed" |

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.

project-governance is a skill published in the GitHub repository goondocks-co/open-agent-kit (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,527 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
