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 | $0.05726 | $0.05726 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02290 | $0.02290 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01145 | $0.01145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00573 | $0.00573 |
Grade A, and why
AppClaw 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 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 is AppClaw?
AppClaw is an agentic AI layer for mobile automation (Android & iOS). Users describe goals in plain English and AppClaw orchestrates device interactions through appium-mcp (Model Context Protocol). It supports multiple LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq, Ollama) via the Vercel AI SDK.
Build & Run Commands
npm run build # TypeScript compilation (tsc) → dist/
npm run typecheck # Type-check without emitting
npm start # Run via tsx (dev mode)
npm start "goal" # Run with a goal argument
npm run dev # Run with file watching
npx tsx tests/verify-parsing.ts # Run parsing verification tests
No formal test framework (Jest/Vitest) is configured. Tests are ad-hoc scripts in tests/.
Architecture
Entry Point & CLI Modes (src/index.ts)
The CLI routes to 6 modes based on flags:
- Goal (default) —
appclawandappclaw "a goal"both open Terminal Studio in goal mode. Bare, it stays resident (device picker → goal prompt → run → back to the prompt); with a goal argument it runs once and then holds the finished screen until a key is pressed before exiting 0/1 — leaving the alternate screen erases the summary and the last device frame, which is the whole point of having watched. For an unattended run useAPPCLAW_TUI=off(or any non-TTY), which takes the plain console path and exits on its own. Falls back to the plain console path (readline goal prompt +RunScreen) for--record,--json, non-TTY, andAPPCLAW_TUI=off. - YAML Flow (
--flow file.yaml) — declarative automation, zero LLM cost - Terminal Studio (
--tui, or its alias--playground) — the same multi-screen Ink app in record mode: platform/device picker, slash-command palette, step recording, settings, run history, and device mirroring —/streamrenders the screen inside the terminal (see Terminal Studio below). The old--playgroundREPL was removed and the flag now routes here./modeswitches between record and goal without dropping the device session. - Explorer (
--explore) — PRD → YAML test flow generation - Record/Replay (
--record,--replay) — capture and replay sessions - Report (
--report) — Express server serving HTML reports from.appclaw/runs/
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.

AppClaw CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository appclawhq/AppClaw (120 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 5,726 tokens to every session, about $0.0229 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.
