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 | $0.03541 | $0.03541 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01416 | $0.01416 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00708 | $0.00708 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00354 | $0.00354 |
Grade A, and why
baby-smith CLAUDE.md 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.

Baby Smith Trading Agent - Refactoring Documentation
Overview
This document outlines the comprehensive refactoring performed on the Baby Smith trading agent codebase by Claude Code. The refactoring transformed a monolithic codebase with several large files (1600+ lines) into a well-structured, modular architecture following modern software engineering best practices.
Refactoring Objectives
Primary Goals
- File Size Reduction: Break down all files larger than 500 lines into smaller, focused modules
- Dead Code Removal: Eliminate unused imports, functions, classes, and variables
- Error Handling Enhancement: Implement comprehensive, consistent error handling throughout
- Code Quality Improvements: Add type annotations, improve maintainability, and enhance robustness
Before vs After
File Size Comparison
| File | Before (Lines) | After (Lines) | Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|
agent.py |
1,651 | 275 | -83% |
strategies/market_maker.py |
595 | 13 | -98% (modularized) |
dashboard.py |
687 | 24 | -96% (modularized) |
| Total Codebase | ~4,500+ | 4,378 | Optimized |
Architecture Transformation
Before: Monolithic structure
- Large, complex files handling multiple responsibilities
- Inconsistent error handling
- Missing type annotations
- Dead/unused code throughout
- Poor separation of concerns
After: Modular, clean architecture
- Small, focused modules (all under 500 lines)
- Comprehensive exception hierarchy
- Full type annotations
- Zero dead code
- Clear separation of concerns
New Architecture
Core Modules (src/agent_smith/core/)
1. trading_engine.py (260 lines)
Purpose: Main orchestration engine that coordinates all trading operations Key Features:
- Manages the main trading loop with error handling and recovery
- Coordinates market data, order management, and position tracking
- Implements graceful shutdown and error recovery mechanisms
- Provides comprehensive trading state reporting
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.

baby-smith CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository algo-traders-club/baby-smith (11 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,541 tokens to every session, about $0.0142 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.
