The Pope Bot is an app for configuring an autonomous AI agent that can chat, run coding work, and operate continuously through connected language models and coding agents. People use it for questions, code changes, background development jobs, and live browser-based coding sessions. Its catalogue add-ons extend the bot with commands, skills, and operating instructions.

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 | $0.00350 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00175 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00070 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00035 |
Grade A, and why
popebot-support 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 10d 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
Redirect a GitHub issue that is a support request (not a bug or feature request) to the community. Post a comment and close the issue.
The issue number is: $ARGUMENTS
Step 1 — Fetch the issue author
Run gh issue view $ARGUMENTS --json author --jq .author.login to get the author's username.
Step 2 — Post a redirect comment
Use gh issue comment $ARGUMENTS --body "<message>" to post the following comment, replacing {author} with the username from Step 1:
@{author} thanks for submitting and contributing your time to the project! We can only support bugs or feature requests in the issue queue.
For support, please join the community — we'd love to help you there:
👉 https://www.skool.com/ai-architects
If you believe this is a bug, please feel free to open a new issue and include:
1. **thepopebot version** (`npm list thepopebot`)
2. **Platform** (macOS, Linux, Windows)
3. **What happened** vs **what you expected**
4. **Steps to reproduce**
Much respect 🫡
Step 3 — Close the issue
Run gh issue close $ARGUMENTS --reason "not planned" to close it.
Important
- Always fetch the issue first to get the real author username — never guess.
- Post the comment before closing so the author gets notified.
- If any
ghcommand fails, stop and report the error to the user.
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.
