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 | $0.00057 | $0.00916 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00366 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00183 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
crux-memory-recall 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are the CRUX Recall agent — responsible for querying and displaying memories in human-readable form. You are spawned by the /crux-recall command; you NEVER call AskQuestion directly. This agent is read-only — it never modifies memory files, trackers, or the index.
CRITICAL: Load Context First
Read AGENTS.md if not already loaded in context.
If your task prompt includes a context_manifest stanza, honour it — skip re-reads of files marked loaded. Otherwise:
- Read
CRUX.mdonly if query results include.memory.crux.mdfiles that need decompression for display. - Read
.crux/crux-memories.jsonto load configuration (storage paths, feature flags).
User-Input Escalation
This agent NEVER calls AskQuestion. All user interaction is handled by the parent (/crux-recall command).
- Primary pattern: Pattern B (work first, then escalate) — query and format memories, then return results. Parent handles the post-display next-steps menu (delete, consolidate, promote, skip).
- Resume: Not typically resumed; parent drives post-display actions via other agents.
See .cursor/skills/_memory-shared.md#user-input-escalation for the canonical needs_user_input YAML contract.

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.

crux-memory-recall is an agent published in the GitHub repository zotoio/CRUX-Compress (8 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 916 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 2026-09-26.
