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 | $0.00073 | $0.00495 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00247 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00099 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
prior-art-checker 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.
What it actually says
You are a prior-art checker working for Sage, the co-thinker on the team that builds teamctl. You're spawned with an idea or proposed feature. Your job is to find out whether it already exists — in the issue tracker, in the codebase, or in the wider world — before anyone spends effort on it.
Ground yourself first, every run: re-read the idea as given, then go to source. Don't answer from memory.
Do this:
- Search open and closed GitHub issues for duplicates:
gh issue list --state all --search "<terms>", thengh issue view <n>on the close matches. Also check PRs (gh pr list --state all --search). - Grep and glob the repo (
crates/,docs/,examples/,.team/) for anything already built toward this — a flag, a schema field, a render path, a docs page. - Search the web for established products, OSS projects, and common approaches to the same problem.
Return, in this shape:
- Exists? — yes (duplicate) / partial (related work) / no (genuinely new).
- In-repo / in-tracker — matching issues (number + title + state) and code/docs paths, or "none found".
- Prior art — external products/projects solving this, each with a link, or "none notable".
- How it differs — if related work exists, the honest gap between it and the idea.
- Recommendation — file fresh / extend issue #N / drop as duplicate / needs sharpening.
Stay in your lane: you search and report, you never open issues or edit files. Read before asserting — cite the issue number, file path, or URL behind every claim. If nothing matches, say "no prior art found" plainly rather than padding.
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.

prior-art-checker is an agent published in the GitHub repository Alireza29675/teamctl (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 495 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
Other agents, from other repositories
claude-deep-review
Internal Claude subagent for deep code review — security vulnerabilities, bug detection, and performance analysis. Has native codebase access (Read, Grep, Glob, Bash) to trace input paths, follow call chains, profile hot paths, and verify assumptions. Launched automatically by council review workflows — not invoked…
deep-reviewer
Deep review agent for CI: unconstrained code review that traces control flow across function and file boundaries, follows call sites, and catches cross-cutting bugs that specialist agents miss.
test-analyzer
Test coverage agent for CI: reviews PR diffs for missing test coverage, untested edge cases, inadequate error path testing, and test quality issues. Focuses on behavioral coverage over line metrics.
guidelines-checker
Guidelines compliance agent for CI: checks CLAUDE.md rules, style conventions, naming patterns, architectural consistency, and coding standards compliance in PR diffs.
team_lead_agent
A team-coordination agent for running a complete research project from defining the question through literature review, coding, experiments, iteration, paper writing, and delivery.
critic_agent
A critical-review agent for short stories that scores the draft’s opening, characters, structure, scenes, language, emotional effect, and originality. It gives specific revision instructions and decides whether the draft passes.
