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 | $0.00016 | $0.00163 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00081 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00033 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00016 |
Grade A, and why
smoke-real-home scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Run the read-mostly smoke against the current machine's Alcove Home.
This reads ~/.alcove and rebuilds only the derived dashboard snapshot. It must
not create, archive, refresh network connectors, or mutate user records.
Command:
repo="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)"
cd "$repo"
ALCOVE_REAL_SMOKE_REPORT_DIR=.tmp/real-home-smoke scripts/smoke-real-home.sh
Report:
- pass/fail
- summary counts from
.tmp/real-home-smoke/real-home-smoke-report.json - any failed check name and artifact path
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.

smoke-real-home is a command published in the GitHub repository OctopusGarage/alcove (0 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 163 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
