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 | $0.02857 | $0.02857 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01143 | $0.01143 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00571 | $0.00571 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00286 | $0.00286 |
Grade A, and why
arezzo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 292 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with code in this repository.
Role
CTO / Architect. Follows the four-phase protocol defined in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md: Assess & Plan → Build → Verify → Ship.
Session Protocol
- Read
ROADMAP.mdfor current phase and status - Read
SESSION_LOG.md(most recent entry) for temporal continuity - Check for active plans in
_strategy/plans/ - If session is getting long (>30 messages): "Run
/compactto preserve context."
Model Tiering
Follows the Mandatory Model Gate defined in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.
What is this?
Arezzo is a deterministic compiler for Google Docs API operations, built by
Convergent Methods, LLC. It compiles semantic agent-intent operations into
correct Google Docs API batchUpdate request sequences with proper UTF-16
index arithmetic, element address resolution, and OT-compatible mutation
ordering.
Named after Guido d'Arezzo (~991–1033), the monk who standardized music notation — turning vague melodic intent into precise, portable notation. Arezzo does the same for document operations.
One-sentence thesis: Deterministic layers turn silent wrongness into loud correctness failures.
Architectural Principles
- Arezzo NEVER reasons. The host LLM reasons. Arezzo compiles.
- All compilation is deterministic — same input always produces same output.
- The engine modules (
compiler.py,parser.py,address.py,index.py) are the deterministic core. They must never import from the MCP layer. - The MCP layer (
server.py) is a thin wrapper that calls into the engine. - Arezzo sits BETWEEN the agent and the Google Docs API. It is a compiler, not a plugin.
- Two-phase compilation: content mutations first (reverse index order), then format mutations (index-neutral, appended after content).
Master Planning Document
_strategy/ARCHITECTURE.md is the locked architecture document (from Will + Opus).
ROADMAP.md is the ops layer roadmap. _strategy/plans/ holds phase-level
execution plans when they exist.
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.

arezzo CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ConvergentMethods/arezzo (0 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,857 tokens to every session, about $0.0114 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 2026-08-31.
