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 | $0.00963 | $0.00963 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00481 | $0.00481 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00193 | $0.00193 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00096 | $0.00096 |
Grade C, and why
super-backlog AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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 8d 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.
Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection
Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Backlog.md Workflow
This project uses Backlog.md for task and project management.
For every user request in this project, run backlog instructions overview before answering or taking action.
Use the overview to decide whether to search, read, create, or update Backlog tasks.
Before task lifecycle actions, read the matching detailed guide:
backlog instructions task-creationbefore creating or splitting tasksbacklog instructions task-executionbefore planning, changing status or assignee, adding a plan or implementation notes, or implementing task workbacklog instructions task-finalizationbefore checking acceptance criteria, writing final summaries, or moving tasks to terminal statuses
Use backlog <command> --help before running unfamiliar commands. Help shows options, fields, and examples.
Do not edit Backlog task, draft, document, decision, or milestone markdown files directly. Use the backlog CLI so metadata, relationships, and history stay consistent.
</CRITICAL_INSTRUCTION>
Workflow system
This section is managed by super-backlog 1.3.1.
Roles: Backlog.md = WHAT — specs, acceptance criteria, status and history,
managed exclusively through the backlog CLI. Superpowers = HOW — the
methodology skills that decide how the work is done.
Pipeline (follow in order)
| # | Phase | Phase label | Gate to pass |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Idea | — | User states a need; capture it before doing anything else |
| 2 | Brainstorming | — | Explore intent, requirements and design before any creative work |
| 3 | Design gate | — | Human approves the design document |
| 4 | Spec-to-backlog | phase/spec set at creation |
Decompose the approved design into reviewed tasks with acceptance criteria |
| 5 | Review gate | phase/spec |
Human reviews specs and acceptance criteria before any code exists |
| 6 | Plan-before-code | phase/plan |
A written implementation plan is approved by the human |
| 7 | TDD implementation | phase/impl |
Failing test first, then code; one task per session/PR |
| 8 | Verification & final summary | phase/verify |
Run tests/lint/typecheck; verification evidence before success claims |
| 9 | Merge & archive | label removed (done) |
Merge the branch, then close/archive the task via the backlog CLI |
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.
