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 | $0.03768 | $0.03768 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01884 | $0.01884 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00754 | $0.00754 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00377 | $0.00377 |
Grade A, and why
gentelella 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 8d 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 — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
Guidance for Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working in this repository. Cross-tool counterparts: AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules/project.mdc, .github/copilot-instructions.md. Each tool reads only its own file; content overlaps intentionally.
What this is
Gentelella v4 (4.1.1) — free admin dashboard template by Colorlib. 58 production HTML pages under production/, built with Vite 8 (Rolldown). Vanilla ES2022, no Bootstrap, no jQuery, no SPA framework. SCSS-only styling. ECharts 6, DataTables.net 3, and Leaflet 1.9 are the only heavyweight runtime deps — all lazy-imported per page.
Live preview: https://preview.colorlib.com/theme/gentelella/.
Commands
npm run dev # Vite dev server on :9173, opens /production/index.html
npm run build # Production build → dist/
npm run preview # Serve built dist/ on :9174
npm run lint # ESLint over src/
npm run lint:fix # Auto-fix
npm run format # Prettier write
npm run format:check # Prettier check
npm run new -- <slug> # Scaffold a new page under production/
npm run screenshots # Playwright captures 22 pages × light+dark → docs/screenshots/
npm run smoke # Boot dev server, hit every page, assert 200
npm run analyze # Build + open dist/stats.html
npm run deploy:preview # Build + sync to R2 with per-file cache headers
Override the dev port via PORT=…; build under a subpath via BASE_PATH=/foo/ npm run build.
Architecture
Entry point: src/main-v4.js — single bundle for every page. Imports scss/v4/main.scss, mounts the shell, registers ECharts/DataTables/Leaflet placeholders, then lazy-imports page-specific modules guarded by DOM presence:
if (document.getElementById('inbox-root')) {
import('./v4/inbox.js').then((m) => m.initInbox());
}
Shell injection (vite.config.js shellInjectionPlugin): pages opt in by setting <body data-shell="admin" data-page="key" data-breadcrumb="A > B">. At build/dev time the Vite plugin inlines sidebar/topbar/footer HTML directly into the document so the shell paints on the first frame — no FOUC. Runtime src/v4/shell.js mountShell() is the fallback for raw-file viewing and always wires up event handlers (mobile drawer, theme toggle, sidebar accordion).
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.
