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 | $0.00010 | $0.01335 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00534 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00267 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
define-terms 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 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.
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.

Define Terms
Terms to Define
$ARGUMENTS
Before Starting
- Check for inconsistencies in the provided terms — flag duplicates, overlapping concepts, or contradictory definitions
- Ask for clarification if any term is vague, ambiguous, or could have multiple interpretations
- Do not proceed until inconsistencies are resolved
Mode
If docs/dictionary.md and docs/dictionary/ already exist, update them by adding new entries. Do not recreate or overwrite existing entries unless explicitly asked.
Initialisation: Ensure project CLAUDE.md Has Vocabulary Protocol
Check if .claude/CLAUDE.md contains a "Shared Vocabulary Protocol" section.
If not present:
- Read `~/.claude/commands/claude-vocab-section.md
- Append its contents to the project-level
CLAUDE.md
This ensures agents know how to use the dictionary at runtime.
Objective
Generate entries in docs/dictionary.md index file that serves as the canonical source of truth for domain-specific terminology in this project. The index is loaded at session start; full entries are read on-demand.
The Problem This Solves
Terms like "committed state" or "editor" have project-specific meanings that differ from their general usage. Without explicit definitions, agents must guess—leading to misaligned implementations.
Step 1: Audit & Discovery
Before writing definitions, conduct a full audit:
- Review the provided terms (listed above in $ARGUMENTS)
- Scan the codebase for:
- Component names that imply domain concepts (e.g.,
CommitWeekModal,BundleEditor) - State variables with domain meaning (e.g.,
isCommitted,editorMode) - Comments or docs referencing undefined jargon
- Component names that imply domain concepts (e.g.,
- Identify gaps - Ask me clarifying questions for any term that is:
- Ambiguous
- Has multiple possible interpretations
- References UI/UX states not fully described
Output a list of all discovered terms before proceeding. Wait for my confirmation before writing the dictionary.
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.

define-terms is a command published in the GitHub repository VishalJ99/claude-docker (218 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 1,335 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-30.
