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 | $0.00000 | $0.00599 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00300 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00120 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
research-serp 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.

Research SERP Command
Deep SERP analysis for a specific keyword to understand what Google wants.
Usage
/research-serp "keyword phrase"
What This Command Does
Analyzes the top 10 ranking results for a keyword to provide detailed content requirements:
- Content type patterns (listicle, how-to, guide, etc.)
- Average word count and recommended length
- SERP features present (featured snippet, PAA, video, etc.)
- Freshness requirements
- Competitive difficulty
- Search intent
- Common content structure
Generates comprehensive content brief for creating or updating content.
Process
Execute SERP analysis for a keyword:
python3 research_serp_analysis.py "your target keyword"
This will:
- Fetch top 20 organic results from DataForSEO
- Analyze content patterns in top 10
- Detect content types from titles
- Fetch word counts for each result
- Identify SERP features
- Analyze search intent
- Assess competitive difficulty
- Generate content brief
- Create report:
research/serp-analysis-[keyword].md
Output
The report includes:
Content Requirements
- Recommended word count (based on top 10 average + 10%)
- Dominant content type (what format works)
- Content type distribution
SERP Features
- Featured snippet opportunity
- People Also Ask questions
- Video/image requirements
- Other SERP features present
Content Brief
- Target specifications (word count, type, tone)
- Must-have elements
- Recommended structure
- SERP features to target
- Freshness requirements
Competitive Analysis
- Domain authority mix
- Difficulty assessment
- Timeframe expectations
Action Plan
Step-by-step process from research to publishing
Example Use Cases
Before creating new content:
/research-serp "best project management tools"
Understand: Is this a listicle? How long should it be? What features to include?
Before updating existing content:
/research-serp "how to choose the right software"
Check if SERP patterns have changed, update to match current expectations
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.

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.
