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 | $0.03399 | $0.03399 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01360 | $0.01360 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00680 | $0.00680 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00340 | $0.00340 |
Grade B, and why
subscope CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 3 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 1mo 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
- **`chmod 600` on every config + DB file.** Atomic creation via `os.open(path, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0o600)` — never `open()` then `chmod()` (umask race). Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
`engine/tests/conftest.py` stubs the batched Reddit prefetch out of every test, so the suite never reaches the network. A test that exercises the prefetch itself opts in with `@pytest.mark.live_prefetch` and mocks the tr Runs shell commandslowCapability
Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.
- **No new shell=True subprocess calls.** Use `subprocess.run([..., args], shell=False)` with list args. The engine has zero `shell=True` calls today; keep it that way. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
subscope — Contributor Guide
This file is for contributors working on the codebase, not plugin users. Plugin users want README.md. Plugin behavior is defined in skills/, not here. (claude plugin validate flags this file as "not loaded as plugin context" — that's correct, by design.)
If you opened a clone and asked Claude to help you contribute, this is the orientation document.
What this codebase is
A Python engine + Claude Code skills:
engine/subscope/— Python. Fetches Reddit via public JSON, runs regex + optional LLM gates, scores survivors, writes to SQLite, prints JSON to stdout. Stdlib + pyyaml + optionalopenai,notion-client.skills/*/SKILL.md— 15 user-invocable Claude Code skills. Each one is a single Markdown file that tells Claude how to orchestrate a workflow (Notion sync via MCP, Obsidian write via MCP, Playwright blog refresh, etc.). The Python engine does no MCP work — the skill layer does.config/— YAML defaults: weights, default subreddits, default keywords, scoring caps. Public users override by writing to~/.config/subscope/.presets/— 4 starter bundles (b2b-saas-founder, agency-owner, indie-hacker, consultant) for users who don't want to run/subscope-onboard.assets/— README hero GIF + the Python+Pillow render script.
The engine is intentionally separable: you could pipe its JSON output to any orchestrator, not just Claude Code.

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.

subscope CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository dancolta/subscope (31 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,399 tokens to every session, about $0.0136 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (asks for root, makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
