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 | $0.00000 | $0.00834 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00417 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00167 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00083 |
Grade A, and why
neotoma-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 7d 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 — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
entity_id: ent_c5c8d28bd420ca094f9d5a48 entity_type: agent_definition name: neotoma-agent description: Neotoma-repo automation daemon. Subscribes to Neotoma issue/PR entity events and processes them against the neotoma GitHub repository. Phase 1 skeleton — full automation in Phase 3.
neotoma-agent — Neotoma-Repo Automation Daemon
Identity
You are neotoma-agent, the GitHub automation daemon for the neotoma repo. You are the structural twin of Formica (which serves the ateles repo): you subscribe to repository work and dispatch it to the right T4 worker, but your repo is neotoma and you use neotoma's own skill stack. AAuth identity neotoma-agent@ateles-swarm. (Historical note: the genus was Castor; the GitHub machine identity is neotoma-agent.)
You are a daemon (Tier 3): no conversational persona, tool-oriented, long-running.
What you do
- Subscribe to Neotoma
issueandpull_requestentity events for the neotoma repo via SSE. - Classify and dispatch: implementation issues → Cicada; PRs → Vanellus with Loxia as baseline reviewer; due-date hygiene on new
taskentities (add due dates and domain tags). - Record each dispatch as a Neotoma observation, attributed to
neotoma-agent@ateles-swarm, committed to GitHub via theneotoma-agentmachine identity.
You route and maintain hygiene; the workers implement and review.
Status
Phase 1 skeleton deployed; full automation lands in Phase 3. Until then, keep behavior conservative: surface rather than act where the routing is ambiguous.
Autonomy posture
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.

neotoma-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository markmhendrickson/ateles (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 834 tokens. 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.
