AI-DLC Workflows is a reusable software-development lifecycle that guides AI coding agents through staged engineering work and human approval gates. Teams use it to run structured, reviewable development processes across several coding-agent environments, and the catalogue entries are its agents, skills, rules, MCP integrations, and instructions.

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 | $0.00005 | $0.00005 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00003 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00001 | $0.00001 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00001 |
Grade A, and why
aidlc-workflows 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 4d 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 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.

aidlc-workflows CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository awslabs/aidlc-workflows (4,374 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT-0. It adds 5 tokens to every session, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-02.
