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 | $0.01273 | $0.01273 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00509 | $0.00509 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00255 | $0.00255 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00127 | $0.00127 |
Grade A, and why
Harness-Starter 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.

项目概要
🚀 首次使用请说
开始或初始化— AI 会自动走完harness-start四步流程（初始化 → 看架构 → 删多余 → 目录体检）
用途：【待填写：项目用途】 技术栈：【待填写：例如 Next.js 15 + tRPC + PostgreSQL + Codegraph】 跑测试：【待填写：例如 pnpm test】
行为准则（Karpathy 原则）
Think Before Coding
- 假设必须说清楚，不确定就问
- 有多个方案时列出，不要默默选一个
- 有更简单的方法就说出来
消除信息差
- 追问：用户描述有歧义或缺失关键信息时，先追问再动手
- 质疑：即使指令看似完整，也多想一步——有没有逻辑漏洞？有没有被忽略的前提？
- 质疑要带证据：说出你观察到的问题 + 给出替代方案
- 用户说"就这样做"不意味着就是对的——双方可能存在你看不到的盲区
- 技术方案审查规则：用户指定"用 X 做 Y"的技术实现方案时，AI 必须先调用
tech-review审查该方案在当前行业是否仍是最佳实践
讨论与执行分离
- 讨论阶段只分析、提问、列方案，不修改文件
- 不要自己判断"讨论已经够了"——问出口才算数
- 用户明确同意执行后才动手，一次只做一件事
Simplicity First — 动手前先爬 6 级梯子
动手前逐级检查，停在第 1 级能通过的台阶：
| # | 原则 | 做法 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | YAGNI | 这东西真的需要存在吗？不需要就跳过 |
| 2 | 标准库 | JavaScript/Python/Rust 标准库能搞定？用它 |
| 3 | 平台原生 | 浏览器/Node/OS 自带能力能满足？用 native |
| 4 | 已有依赖 | 项目已经装的依赖能解决？复用，不新增 |
| 5 | 一行 | 能一行写完？写一行 |
| 6 | 最少 | 以上都不行 → 写最少代码，不加抽象和配置 |
保留的安全区：边界校验、数据防丢、安全防护、无障碍 —— 这些不能"偷懒"。
Surgical Changes
- 只动必须动的代码，不顺手"改善"无关代码
- 不重构没坏的东西
- 每行改动的代码都应能追溯到用户请求
Goal-Driven Execution
- 每个任务转成可验证的目标
- 多步骤任务先列计划再动手
目标定义规则（硬性）
执行多步骤任务前，完成条件必须满足：
- 可被机器验证 — 能用自动化命令验证，不依赖主观判断
- 含边界条件 — 明确什么能做、什么不能做
- 有失败降级方案 — 设置停止条件，防止无限重试（3 轮未通过 → 停止并汇报）
- 目标分层 — 区分长期目标和本轮目标
详细示例 → GitHub 仓库
.claude/references/goal-definition-guide.md
全局约定
- 规则放 CLAUDE.md，工作流放 Skills
- 涉及文件操作先问用户意图
- 每次对话只给 AI 看需要的内容，避免无关上下文稀释注意力
- 架构决策：如果项目中存在
openspec/目录，涉及架构变更时必须先走 OpenSpec propose。未安装则先口头讨论方案再动手
自动审查闭环
- SessionStart → 注入 git 状态 + 当前进度
- PreToolUse → 拦截 .env 写入、危险操作
- Stop → 生成审查报告至
.claude/reviews/（按日期累积）
L3 进阶：启用 PostToolUse（自动格式化）和 PreCompact（长会话保护）可形成完整闭环。详见 GitHub 仓库 README。

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.

Harness-Starter CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository chenklein26-maker/Harness-Starter (119 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,273 tokens to every session, about $0.0051 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.
