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 | $0.03419 | $0.03419 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01368 | $0.01368 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00684 | $0.00684 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00342 | $0.00342 |
Grade C, and why
story-skills AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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 16d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Agent Instructions
These instructions apply to the entire story-skills repository. CLAUDE.md is a symlink to this file so Claude Code reads the same instructions. Edit this file and leave the symlink in place.
Project Overview
Story Skills is a Bun/Node package that ships Agent Skills for fiction-writing workflows plus a small deterministic story CLI. The core format is plain markdown with YAML frontmatter. Skills guide creative workflows; the CLI handles mechanical maintenance such as validation, registry rebuilds, word counts, link checks, exports, and disposable builds.
Primary paths:

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.
