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 | $0.01180 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00472 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00236 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
hire scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/hire — Create a new scoped code-writing assistant command
You are operating in a repository that supports “slash commands” backed by markdown files in a configurable commands folder.
Definitions:
- COMMANDS_DIR = the folder where command markdown files live (this file is already in it).
- ROSTER_FILE = COMMANDS_DIR + "/_roster.md"
- A “command” named X is stored as: COMMANDS_DIR + "/X.md"
Goal: Create a NEW assistant command file based on the user’s prompt, and register it in ROSTER_FILE.
Input (from the user)
The user message invoking /hire contains:
- desired assistant name (optional)
- role + scope description (required) Example: "/hire bob a backend developer focused on API routes scalability, standardization and security"
Reserved Names
The following names are system commands and cannot be used for hired assistants:
- hire, fire, update, list, define, _roster
If the user attempts to hire an assistant with a reserved name, reject the request with a clear error:
❌ Cannot hire an assistant named
<name>— this is a reserved system command. Please choose a different name.
Steps
-
Parse the user's /hire message and extract:
- Proposed name (if missing, invent a short, relevant name)
- Role
- Scope & focus areas
- Constraints / tech hints
-
Validate the name is not reserved:
- Check against reserved names: hire, fire, update, list, define, _roster
- If reserved, reject immediately with the error message above
- Do NOT proceed with file creation
-
Scan the codebase QUICKLY to infer conventions:
- Language(s), frameworks, folder structure
- API patterns (routing/controllers/middleware)
- Validation/auth patterns
- Error handling/logging style
- Testing approach
- Lint/format rules if visible DO NOT reference specific files unless explicitly instructed by the user
-
Decide final assistant command name:
- lowercase kebab-case
- avoid collisions (if exists, append -2, -3...)
- if user supplied a name, prefer it unless it conflicts badly
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.

hire is a command published in the GitHub repository JanUmansky/startup (2 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,180 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
