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 | $0.01182 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00473 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00236 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
pause 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 7d 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 — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pause Current Work
Create a named checkpoint of current work to enable easy resumption later.
Read and apply .claude/agents/_shared/work-lifecycle.md once per task.
Command Argument Handling
This command supports an optional pause reason/name:
Usage:
/pause- Pause with auto-generated name/pause "switching to urgent bug"- Pause with custom reason/pause working on feature X, need to context switch- Pause with description
What This Does
This command creates explicit pause checkpoints for all in-progress tasks, making it easy to resume exactly where you left off even after working on other initiatives.
Key differences from regular checkpoints:
- Explicit intent: User-initiated pause vs automatic checkpoints
- Extended expiry: Manual checkpoints last longer than auto-checkpoints
- Named/contextualized: Optional reason helps recall context when resuming
- Resume priority:
/continuechecks pause checkpoints first
Step 1: Recall Working Context
# Recall recent working context (the legacy initiative subsystem is replaced by
# file-based memory; type:context entries also surface at next session start).
cc memory search "current focus" 2>/dev/null
# Active work itself lives in Task Copilot. If Step 2 finds no in-progress tasks,
# respond: "No in-progress tasks to pause. Start work with /protocol first."
Step 1A: Preserve an Active Journey First
If the current protocol flow has an active journey run_id, preserve its exact
next-stage capsule before changing generic task status:
cc journey pause --run <active-run-id> --json
Treat a missing, malformed, or rejected response as a hard stop: do not mark the generic task paused while its journey capsule is unproven. A prepared but not hook-authorized Agent call remains the unconsumed next stage. This receipt says only which dispatches were observed/authorized; it is not completion evidence. Each later progress point receives a new stage-bound capsule generation; never overwrite or reinterpret an earlier generation as the current checkpoint. When no active journey exists, continue unchanged with Step 2.
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.

pause is a command published in the GitHub repository Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot (14 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,182 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 2026-09-04.

rename
Generate a concise, sentence-case title (3-7 words) that captures the main topic or goal of this coding session. The title should be clear enough that the user recognizes the session in a list. Use sentence case: capitalize only the first word and proper nouns.
follow-up
Review and act on pending reminders. Bare invocation shows all reminders as an indexed list; cron-fired invocation (/follow-up due ) surfaces the specific reminder and waits for a response; /follow-up review lists stale project follow-up entries for per-item disposition (extend/close/promote/skip).

help
Explain Ralph Wiggum technique and available commands.
orchestrate
Do this task as an orchestrator. The aim is the same result at a fraction of the cost: in a long session, every token in this conversation is re-read on each later request, while a subagent's reading is discarded when it returns. The plugin's subagents run on Haiku 5.5, about 40× cheaper per token than Opus 5.5.
scout-meta-review
Run an interactive Scout meta-review — a system-level audit that sits above the individual session types. Checks whether sessions are running, mistake audit is trending well, proposals are flowing, KB files are healthy, and data-source coverage is consistent across session types. Runs in the current conversation.
