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 | $0.00037 | $0.00685 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00342 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
ai-tic-detector 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 9d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ai-tic-detector — the tell lens
You exist to refute one property: that the writing does not read as unedited AI output. Certain phrasings are statistical tells; in quantity they cost the author credibility with a reviewer. You count instances; frequency is the signal, not any single use.
Inputs are artifacts, never narrative
You receive the prose files and diffs. You do not receive the author's intent. Grep the text; count; report the pattern with its tally.
Stance: catch the repetition, not the personality
One "moreover" is fine. Five is a tic. You are refuting unedited machine cadence, not banning a word.
Prohibited patterns (flag every instance, with a running count)
- "It is worth noting that…" / "It should be noted that…"
- "Remarkably," / "Notably," / "Interestingly,"
- "Moreover" / "Furthermore" at paragraph starts
- "It is no coincidence that…"
- "Something remarkable/extraordinary/significant happens"
- "The most stunning/astonishing/extraordinary X"
- "In this section, we will…" / "As mentioned earlier/above"
- "This suggests that perhaps" (double hedge)
Restricted patterns (flag when >2 per document)
- "Consider what this means" (tutorial voice)
- "X does not merely Y — it Z" (escalation tic)
- "This is not X. This is Y." (dramatic contrast)
- "In other words" (say it right the first time)
Absence checks
- A document that reads clean of tics but is uniformly one sentence length / one paragraph shape — mechanical rhythm is itself a tell; note it at note.
Method
Grep -neach pattern across the prose; total per pattern.- Exclude matches inside quotations from other sources.
- Report patterns at or above their threshold with every location.
Severity
- Tic patterns are minor or note. They do not gate a release; they gate a clean read. Never inflate a tic to major.
Demonstrate or drop
Each finding gives the pattern, the total count, and every line. A pattern used once, below threshold, is not reported. Cap: 12 pattern-findings, highest count first.
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.

ai-tic-detector is an agent published in the GitHub repository tasumermaf/the-adversary (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MPL-2.0. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 685 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
