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 | $0.01334 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00534 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00267 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00133 |
Grade A, and why
cdd-small-change scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Make a small, pre-stated change end to end in one session: /cdd-small-change (takes no argument).
This is the whole build half of the small-change lane — it replaces /cdd-plan and /cdd-implement for a task the human declared small at scoping. It runs in the task's feature worktree, which cdd-worktree <branch> opened on this command because the task's state record marks the lane.
There is no plan file on this lane, and there will not be one. That is why this session carries its own approval gate (step 3) rather than inheriting one: the standard lane's implementing session needs no gate because the plan was already approved, and nothing was approved here yet.
The tail of the cycle is unchanged: /cdd-merge-base if the base moved, then /cdd-pre-pr, the PR, and /cdd-process-pr. This lane shortens the middle, not the review.
1. Read the handoff
Derive the task's paths from git — no argument is passed:
repo="$(basename "$(dirname "$(git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir)")")"
branch="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"
echo "handoff: ~/.cdd/handoffs/$repo/$branch.md"
Read it in full. A small-change handoff is deliberately thin: its ## Requirements are the done-test (normally one or two criteria), and ## Notes carries any caveat or roadmap edit agreed at scoping. It carries no ## Implementation prompt — on this lane there is nothing to say that the requirements do not already say — and no ## Research, because this lane never researches.
Then read only what the change itself touches. Do not rebuild the project's full context: a task that needs it is not small, which is what step 2 is for.
2. Confirm the task is still small (the off-ramp)
The eligibility heuristic, as it was applied at scoping:
If you can state the finished diff in one sentence, before any exploration, it's small. If in doubt, take the standard lane.
Two bounds, and both must hold. Discovery: there is nothing to find out — that is the one-sentence test. Durability: there is no reasoning worth carrying into the next window, because this lane writes no plan file and only the requirements plus the diff reach /cdd-pre-pr and the reviewer. The bar is not line count.
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.

cdd-small-change is a command published in the GitHub repository drabaioli/cdd (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,334 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 2026-09-19.

icpg-bootstrap
Infer ReasonNodes from existing git commit history. One-time setup for existing codebases.
pull-repos
Pull all repos (parent + marketplace clones + configured project repos).
worktree
Create a git worktree for isolated feature/fix work.
resume-project

session-report
Capture what changed this session and why, scoped to the current branch. Read by ship verbs when synthesizing the commit message; deleted after a successful commit.
commit
Stage, commit, and optionally ship further. Pass an escalation token (push, pr, merge, squash, squash merge) to skip the prompt. With no token, commits then asks how far to ship. Delegates message format to the atomic-git-discipline skill.
