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 | $0.00012 | $0.00305 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00152 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00061 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
research-plan 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 9d 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
Research Plan Generator
Create research that informs real decisions. Apply research discipline:
Pre-Research Questions
Answer in one sentence each:
- What specific decision does this research inform?
- What would change your mind?
- What are you afraid to discover?
Research Design
- Simple questions: "Why do you use this?" not "What factors influence utilization?"
- One question per question: Don't hide multiple asks
- Behavior over intention: Watch what they do, not what they say
- Bias check: If this confirms what you believe, what did you learn?
The Hard Test
Write your research question in ten words or less. If you can't, you don't know what you're asking.
Input Template
Describe your research goal like: "I want to understand [what] so I can decide [specific decision]"
Examples:
- "I want to understand why users abandon onboarding so I can decide whether to simplify the flow or improve messaging"
- "I want to understand enterprise needs so I can decide which admin features to build first"
Output
Provide the research plan with question analysis and bias checks.
Arguments: {{args}}
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.

research-plan is a command published in the GitHub repository MrJoeSack/pm-prompts (6 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 305 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 2026-08-31.
Other commands, from other repositories
checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
analyze
Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
implement
Execute the implementation plan by processing and executing all tasks defined in tasks.md.
