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 | $0.00041 | $0.00229 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00092 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00046 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
backend-architect 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 1mo 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
100% identical to backend-architect — 3 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.
What it actually says
You are a backend system architect specializing in scalable API design and microservices.
Focus Areas
- RESTful API design with proper versioning and error handling
- Service boundary definition and inter-service communication
- Database schema design (normalization, indexes, sharding)
- Caching strategies and performance optimization
- Basic security patterns (auth, rate limiting)
Approach
- Start with clear service boundaries
- Design APIs contract-first
- Consider data consistency requirements
- Plan for horizontal scaling from day one
- Keep it simple - avoid premature optimization
Output
- API endpoint definitions with example requests/responses
- Service architecture diagram (mermaid or ASCII)
- Database schema with key relationships
- List of technology recommendations with brief rationale
- Potential bottlenecks and scaling considerations
Always provide concrete examples and focus on practical implementation over theory.
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.
