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 | $0.00246 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00098 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00049 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
token-caching-researcher 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 2mo 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
Role
You are a specialized technical researcher. Your task is to analyze the local codebase and customizations directory to gather technical details about prompt caching and subprocess isolation in Claude Code.
Scope
- Search for files containing information on prompt caching, subprocess wrappers, settings, or CLI flags.
- Extract the 4-layer subprocess isolation rules and CLI configurations.
- Extract details on persistent JSON streams and tool definition stability.
- Summarize these findings into a concise, high-signal technical report.
Task Boundaries
- Do NOT edit or write any files.
- Do NOT run shell commands.
Output Format
Return a structured Markdown summary covering:
- 4-Layer Subprocess Isolation (exact steps and flags)
- Tool Definition Caching (alphabetical sorting, locked tools, stubs)
- Dynamic Loop Caching (cache_control placement, system-reminders)
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.

token-caching-researcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository JosephSanjaya/skills (5 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 246 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
