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 | $0.00075 | $0.03590 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.01436 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00718 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00359 |
Grade A, and why
rad-design 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 3d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 363 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/rad-design
Consume a RAD research artifact and generate the agent architecture for the project. This is the A in Research/Architect/Deliver.
One invocation, inline approval. The command designs the agent hierarchy,
shows it to you, and asks to approve / edit / cancel. On approval it flips the
artifact to approved and proceeds straight to generation in the same run — the
review gate is preserved (you always see the boundaries before any agent file is
written), but the old "edit Status, then re-type the command" ceremony is gone.
Two entry paths share the same generation logic:
- Design & Approve — no approved architecture yet: design → inline approve → generate
- Generate — an already-
approvedartifact exists: re-running just (re)generates, idempotently. ManualStatus: approvededits still work via this path.
Input
$ARGUMENTS is the project slug. Examples: habit-tracker-api, e-commerce-platform
If $ARGUMENTS is empty, list all files in .agents/research/ and ask which
project to design.
Mode Detection
Check for .agents/architecture/[slug].md:
- File exists, Status: approved → skip to Generate (idempotent re-run)
- Otherwise (file missing, or Status: draft) → run Design & Approve
Design & Approve flows directly into Generate once you approve — it is one continuous run, not two commands.
Design & Approve
Step 1: Read the research artifact
Read .agents/research/[slug].md directly. This is a small structured file —
no sub-agent needed.
If the file does not exist, stop:
No research artifact found for '[slug]'.
Run /rad-research first to produce one.
If the research artifact has a ## Mockup section, read the listed mockup file
too — it shows the user-visible surface the agent boundaries must serve. A missing
section means no mockup; that is fine and never blocks 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.

rad-design is a command published in the GitHub repository seanrreid/RAD_framework (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 3,590 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
