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 | $0.01108 | $0.01108 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00554 | $0.00554 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00222 | $0.00222 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00111 | $0.00111 |
Grade A, and why
story-skills AGENTS.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 6d 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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:

Codex marketplace entries must point at a child plugin directory, so keep it a symlink rather than a copy.
Development Commands
Use Bun for local development:
bun install
bun run story -- --help
bun run build:fallback
bun run check:fallback
bun run test
bun run test:coverage
bun run test:examples
bun run check:metadata
CI runs check:metadata, test, test:coverage, test:examples, and the fallback under Node in that order. Use bun run test for normal verification. Use bun run build:fallback after changing CLI behavior in src/, then use bun run check:fallback to confirm the generated fallback is current. Use bun run test:coverage when changes affect CLI behavior, parsing, project scanning, validation, fallback generation, or release readiness.
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.

story-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository danjdewhurst/story-skills (210 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,108 tokens to every session, about $0.0055 per session on Opus 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.
