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 | $0.00025 | $0.00860 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00344 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00172 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00086 |
Grade B, and why
starter-kit scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
cat ~/.claude/starter-kit/version How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/starter-kit
Manage the globally installed @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit.
The kit is installed in ~/.claude/starter-kit/. Commands and skills are symlinked from there into ~/.claude/commands/ and ~/.claude/skills/, so updating the starter-kit directory instantly updates everything without needing to re-symlink.
Detect subcommand
Read the user's argument: $ARGUMENTS
update→ run Update flow belowstatus→ run Status flow belowadd→ run Add flow below- empty or unrecognised → show usage
Update flow
Check whether npm is available, then run:
npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit update
This overwrites ~/.claude/starter-kit/ with the latest published version, symlinks any new commands or skills that were added, and registers any new hooks in ~/.claude/settings.json.
After the command completes, report the version that is now installed:
cat ~/.claude/starter-kit/version
Tell the user: "✅ Starter kit updated to v. New commands and hooks are active immediately."
If npm / npx is not available, tell the user to install Node.js from https://nodejs.org and then run npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit update in their terminal.
Status flow
Check the installed version and compare with the registry:
npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit status
Show the output to the user as-is. If the kit is not installed, tell the user to run npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit init from any terminal to install it.
Add flow
Install the starter kit into the current project's .claude/ directory. This is the project-level equivalent of the global install — it gives the project its own copy of commands, hooks, and skills that Claude Code picks up automatically.
Steps:
- Check whether
~/.claude/starter-kit/exists. If not, tell the user to run the global install first:npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit init - Check whether
.claude/already exists in the current project:- If it does, ask the user: "
.claude/already exists in this project. Merge the starter-kit files in? Existing files with matching names will NOT be overwritten." (yes / no) - If no: stop.
- If it does, ask the user: "
- Copy from
~/.claude/starter-kit/into.claude/:
(cp -rn ~/.claude/starter-kit/commands/ .claude/commands/ cp -rn ~/.claude/starter-kit/hooks/ .claude/hooks/ cp -rn ~/.claude/starter-kit/skills/ .claude/skills/-n= no-clobber: never overwrites existing files) - If
.claude/settings.jsondoes not exist in the project, copy from the starter-kit:
If it does exist, remind the user to manually merge the hook entries fromcp ~/.claude/starter-kit/settings.json .claude/settings.json~/.claude/starter-kit/settings.jsonif needed. - Report: "✅ Starter kit added to this project's .claude/ directory. Commands and hooks are active for this project."
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.

starter-kit is a command published in the GitHub repository TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit (342 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 860 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
