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 | $0.00237 | $0.00237 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00095 | $0.00095 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00047 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
clean-code-skills clean-code.instructions.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 1mo 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.
What it actually says
Clean-Code Instructions
Apply these rules to every file type unless a more specific instruction file overrides them.
Before Editing
- Identify what behavior the request changes.
- Read the closest existing implementation and tests.
- State assumptions when ambiguity affects the design.
- Define a verification step for non-trivial changes.
While Editing
- Keep each change directly traceable to the request.
- Use project vocabulary in names.
- Keep functions, modules, components, queries, scripts, and configuration focused.
- Prefer explicit data flow and explicit boundaries.
- Do not introduce framework swaps, new layers, caches, queues, retries, or configuration unless the task requires them.
- Distinguish essential complexity (the problem) from accidental complexity (how it was built); only the second is yours to fix in passing.
- Treat every observable behavior of a multi-user interface as part of the contract; change with care or version it.
Before Completion
- Run the relevant verification command when available.
- Review the diff for unrelated edits and speculative complexity.
- Remove only dead code created by the current change.
- Report any verification you could not run.
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.

clean-code-skills clean-code.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Amartuvshins0404/clean-code-skills (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 237 tokens to every session, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
