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 | $0.00040 | $0.01830 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00915 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00366 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00183 |
Grade A, and why
refactor-agents 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 5d 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.
This is a copy
97% identical to agent-md-refactor — 70 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 310 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent MD Refactor
Refactor bloated agent instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, COPILOT.md, etc.) to follow progressive disclosure principles - keeping essentials at root and organizing the rest into linked, categorized files.
Triggers
Use this skill when:
- "refactor my AGENTS.md" / "refactor my CLAUDE.md"
- "split my agent instructions"
- "organize my CLAUDE.md file"
- "my AGENTS.md is too long"
- "progressive disclosure for my instructions"
- "clean up my agent config"
Quick Reference
| Phase | Action | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Analyze | Find contradictions | List of conflicts to resolve |
| 2. Extract | Identify essentials | Core instructions for root file |
| 3. Categorize | Group remaining instructions | Logical categories |
| 4. Structure | Create file hierarchy | Root + linked files |
| 5. Prune | Flag for deletion | Redundant/vague instructions |
Process
Phase 1: Find Contradictions
Identify any instructions that conflict with each other.
Look for:
- Contradictory style guidelines (e.g., "use semicolons" vs "no semicolons")
- Conflicting workflow instructions
- Incompatible tool preferences
- Mutually exclusive patterns
For each contradiction found:
## Contradiction Found
**Instruction A:** [quote]
**Instruction B:** [quote]
**Question:** Which should take precedence, or should both be conditional?
Ask the user to resolve before proceeding.
Phase 2: Identify the Essentials
Extract ONLY what belongs in the root agent file. The root should be minimal - information that applies to every single task.
Essential content (keep in root):
| Category | Example |
|---|---|
| Project description | One sentence: "A React dashboard for analytics" |
| Package manager | Only if not npm (e.g., "Uses pnpm") |
| Non-standard commands | Custom build/test/typecheck commands |
| Critical overrides | Things that MUST override defaults |
| Universal rules | Applies to 100% of tasks |
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.

refactor-agents is a skill published in the GitHub repository mogharsallah/texterify-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed ISC. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,830 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 97% identical to agent-md-refactor, differing in 70 lines, and is treated as a copy.
