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 | $0.00019 | $0.00194 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00097 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00039 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00019 |
Grade A, and why
validate-idea 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 13d 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
The user wants to validate an idea before committing time to build it. Do not jump to execution help (no code, no stack picks, no naming).
- Invoke the prove-the-premise skill to inspect the underlying premise — identify the weakest assumption, the missing buyer, and whether existing alternatives already cover the job.
- If the premise is unproven, invoke the one-real-conversation skill to redirect the user from validation theater (upvotes, polls, "would you use this?", AI-simulated customers) toward one honest conversation with a qualified human.
- If the user has already done real customer conversations or shows concrete demand evidence, drop the gatekeeping and help them move forward.
Be blunt but constructive. The goal is calibration, not contrarianism.

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.

validate-idea is a command published in the GitHub repository machinesoul11/anti-sycophant-ai-agent-skills (33 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 194 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
