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 | $0.02612 | $0.02612 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01045 | $0.01045 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00522 | $0.00522 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00261 | $0.00261 |
Grade A, and why
cli 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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
Archgate is a CLI tool for AI governance via Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) — combining human-readable docs with machine-checkable rules. The CLI dogfoods itself via ADRs in .archgate/adrs/. AI features are delivered as a Claude Code plugin (../plugins/claude-code), not via direct API calls.
Technology Stack
- Runtime: Bun — not Node.js compatible (minimum version enforced in
src/cli.ts) - Language: TypeScript (strict mode, ESNext, ES modules)
- CLI framework: Commander.js (
@commander-js/extra-typings) - Linter: Oxlint | Formatter: Oxfmt | Dead exports: Knip | Commits: Conventional Commits
Commands
bun run src/cli.ts <command> # run CLI locally
bun run lint # oxlint
bun run typecheck # tsc --build
bun run format # oxfmt --write
bun run format:check # oxfmt --check
bun run test # all tests (not bare `bun test` — picks up --timeout; see GEN-003)
bun run knip # dead export detection
bun run validate # MANDATORY: lint + typecheck + format:check + test + ADR check + knip + build check
bun run build:check # verify build compiles (CI builds binaries via release workflow)
bun run commit # conventional commit wizard
Validation Gate
bun run validate must pass before any task is considered complete. Fail-fast pipeline: lint → typecheck → format:check → test → ADR check → knip → build check. Mirrors CI in .github/workflows/code-pull-request.yml.
Git Hooks (Git 2.54+)
Config-based hooks in .githooks run validation locally before commits and pushes:
- pre-commit: lint + typecheck + format:check (~15s)
- pre-push: full
bun run validate(~60s, mirrors CI)
Activate once per clone:
git config --local include.path ../.githooks
Opt out of a specific hook: git config --local hook.<name>.enabled false. Skip all hooks for a single commit: git commit --no-verify.
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.

cli CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository archgate/cli (73 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,612 tokens to every session, about $0.0104 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.
