Liam ERD is a tool that turns database schemas into interactive entity-relationship diagrams, visual maps showing tables and their relationships. It helps people understand and document database structures, including complex schemas.

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 | $0.00008 | $0.00098 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00039 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00020 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00010 |
Grade A, and why
understand-context 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 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.
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
Task
Run: git status
Then analyze the current work status including:
- Current branch
- Modified files
- Untracked files
- Staged changes
If git status shows no changes, fallback to:
gh pr diffif current branch has an open PRgit diff origin/mainif changes are pushed but no PR exists
Provide a summary of the current work in progress.
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.

understand-context is a command published in the GitHub repository liam-hq/liam (5,156 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 98 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
