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 | $0.00000 | $0.00210 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00084 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00042 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00021 |
Grade A, and why
handoff 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
/aide:handoff — Session Handoff
Invoke the aide-handoff skill via the Skill tool — that is your only valid response to /aide:handoff.
Skill(skill="aide-handoff", args="<the user's full request, verbatim>")
The aide-handoff skill is the source of truth for the handoff operation. It carries:
- The CREATE vs UPDATE detection logic
- The content-gathering checklist (what the orchestrator must supply in the delegation prompt)
- The delegation contract to the
aide-spec-writeragent insession.aidemode - The hard constraints (no self-writes, no invented content, no deletion)
You MUST invoke the skill — do not attempt to handle /aide:handoff from this file alone. Skipping the skill means writing session.aide from a thin command-file checklist that omits the load-bearing constraints, which means drifting from the methodology.
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.

handoff is a command published in the GitHub repository aidemd-mcp/server (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 210 tokens. 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.
