A command that sends a coding task through three stages: exploring the code, implementing the change, and checking how it fits together. Each stage uses a selected AI model tier.

Use /ashlr-tier for changes such as adding rate limiting, refactoring a data pipeline, or extracting shared logic.

It separates understanding, coding, and review so the implementation starts with information about the repository and ends with an integration check.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.00038	$0.01133
Opus 5	$0.00019	$0.00566
Sonnet 5	$0.00008	$0.00227
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00113

Security

Grade A, and why

ashlr-tier 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 5d 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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run a task through three model tiers in sequence, each phase feeding the next.

Usage

/ashlr-tier <task>

How it works

The phase 2 agent is selected based on the caller's ashlr tier (resolved from ~/.ashlr/pro-token-cache.json):

Phase	Free tier	Pro/Team tier	Role
1 — Discovery	`ashlr:ashlr:explore` (haiku)	`ashlr:ashlr:explore` (haiku)	Map relevant files, understand current state, surface risks
2 — Implementation	`ashlr:ashlr:explore` (haiku)	`ashlr:ashlr:code` (sonnet)	Implement the change using Phase 1 findings
3 — Integration check	`ashlr:ashlr:plan` (haiku)	`ashlr:ashlr:plan` (haiku)	Verify the implementation is consistent, surfaces integration risks

Free tier defaults to haiku for phase 2 to keep delegation costs predictable; Pro/Team tier upgrades to sonnet for higher implementation quality. Override via --force-sonnet (any tier) or --force-haiku (any tier) — see args.

Examples

/ashlr-tier add rate limiting to the HTTP server
/ashlr-tier refactor the genome pipeline to use streaming
/ashlr-tier extract the summarization logic into a shared helper

Steps

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, print usage and stop.
Detect tier. Run via Bash:
```
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-tier.ts
```
Capture output as <tier> — one of free, pro, team.
- If $ARGUMENTS contains --force-sonnet, set <tier> to pro.
- If $ARGUMENTS contains --force-haiku, set <tier> to free.
- Strip the --force-* flag from the forwarded <task> argument.

Phase 1 — Discovery (spawn ashlr:ashlr:explore):

Prompt:

Discovery phase for task: <task>

1. Map all files that will need to change or be understood.
2. Identify the entry points, key functions, and data flows involved.
3. Surface any gotchas, risks, or constraints the implementer must know.
4. List any existing utilities or patterns that should be reused.

Output the standard explore shape (What / Key files / Flow / Gotchas / Unknowns). Stay under 400 words.

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.

ashlr-tier is a command published in the GitHub repository ashlrai/ashlr-plugin (3 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,133 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.
