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 | $0.00057 | $0.00557 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00279 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00111 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00056 |
Grade A, and why
grow-sustainably 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 10d 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
/grow-sustainably
Plan post-first-100-users growth without burning out the founder, the budget, or the user base.
Expected input
/grow-sustainably
Optional arguments:
/grow-sustainably active_users="<n>" w4_retention="<%>" top_source="<source>"
If arguments are omitted, the skill reads docs/business/BUSINESS-PLAN.md, the most recent growth-plan-*.md (if any), and asks for the missing pre-conditions.
Actions
- Invoke the
grow-sustainablyskill (.claude/skills/grow-sustainably/SKILL.md). - Verify the four pre-conditions (100+ active users, retention data, one acquisition pattern that worked,
usage-monitorrunning). - Run the four pillars in order: Retention → Compress what worked → ONE new channel → Founder bandwidth.
- Generate
docs/business/growth-plan-<YYYY-MM>.md. - Hand off any required follow-up:
/processize(codify the source that worked),/multi-ai-review(any paid channel),business-plan-impact-review(pricing/packaging change).
When to use
- The product has 100+ active users and the 1-a-1 cadence is hitting personal limits.
- The user says "como cresço sem queimar dinheiro?" / "ninguém mais responde minhas DMs" / "vou rodar ads?".
- Monthly growth review during the 100 → 1000 phase.
When NOT to use
- Under 100 active users — use
first-100-usersinstead. - Looking for a paid-ads playbook — this skill is intentionally conservative about ads. They are a Tier 4 channel here.
- Looking for "growth hacks" — the skill rejects vanity metrics and channel diffusion by design.

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.
- 10d ago First seen · 49 lines · 57 tokens per session scan A 609d40241e59
grow-sustainably is a command published in the GitHub repository lglucas/ai-dev-operating-system (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 557 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
Other commands, from other repositories
slack-gif-creator
Toolkit for creating animated GIFs optimized for Slack, with validators for size constraints and composable animation primitives. This skill applies when users request animated GIFs or emoji animations for Slack from descriptions like "make me a GIF for Slack of X doing Y".
test-driven-development
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code - write the test first, watch it fail, write minimal code to pass; ensures tests actually verify behavior by requiring failure first.
