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 | $0.00054 | $0.01526 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.00763 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00305 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00153 |
Grade A, and why
news-scanner 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 6d 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.
The source is not reproduced here
A licence we could not identify
The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.
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.

Other agents, from other repositories
research-orchestrator
Orchestrator agent for sigint research sessions. Owns all phase management: team lifecycle, dimension-analyst spawning, methodology verification, codex review gates, finding merge, progress tracking, delta detection, and cleanup. Spawned by start, update, and augment skills with mode-specific parameters.
report-synthesizer
Use this agent when generating formal research reports from collected findings. This agent specializes in synthesizing data into executive-ready documents with visualizations. Examples: Context: Research is complete and user wants a report user: "Generate a report from my market research" assistant: "I'll use the…
falsification-analyst
Use this agent to perform adversarial falsification of sigint research findings. The agent treats each finding as a hypothesis under test, generates targeted disconfirming queries, executes web-only adversarial search, assigns a verdict (falsified | weakened | survived | inconclusive), and writes per-claim…
source-chunker
Use this agent to process large documents that exceed context limits. Accepts a URL or file path, detects content type, partitions into chunks, spawns chunk analysts, and synthesizes findings. Examples: Context: Dimension analyst encounters a large report user: "Process this 50-page analyst report for competitive…
growth-strategist
