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 | $0.01607 | $0.01607 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00643 | $0.00643 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00321 | $0.00321 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00161 | $0.00161 |
Grade B, and why
agent-isle CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
- `Scripts/install-hooks.sh` / `uninstall-hooks.sh` — shell scripts that edit `~/.claude/settings.json` (honors `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`), pointing hooks at the in-repo `Scripts/agent-isle-hook.py`. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 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 (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
What this is
Agent Isle is a native macOS menu-bar accessory app (Swift/SwiftUI/AppKit, no third-party dependencies) that renders a "Dynamic Island" in the MacBook notch to monitor AI coding-agent sessions, approve their permission requests, and chat with them. It runs as an LSUIElement (no dock icon) and force-terminates other running copies on launch so only one instance owns the event port.
Commands
swift build # debug build
swift test # run all tests
swift test --filter ChatHistoryTests # run a single test target/case
bash Scripts/bundle.sh # build "build/Agent Isle.app" (release; pass "debug" for a debug bundle)
open "build/Agent Isle.app" # launch
bash Scripts/release.sh # universal build + optional notarization + zip
To exercise permission approvals end-to-end you must run the app AND install the Claude Code hooks (bash Scripts/install-hooks.sh); monitoring works without hooks.
Architecture
Three cooperating layers, all under Sources/AgentIsle/:
-
UI (Notch/, Views/) —
AppDelegatebuilds a fixed-size floatingNotchWindowpinned over the notch (NotchGeometrydetects the physical notch, else centers a pill).PassthroughViewmakes the window click-through everywhere except the island itself.IslandRootViewtoggles collapsed↔expanded. -
State (Model/) —
SessionStoreis the singleObservableObjectsource of truth (sessions, filters, demo mode). Everything else feeds it or reads from it. -
Ingest (Server/) — two independent input paths populate the store:
- Hook-free watching:
IdeWatcherdiscovers Claude Code sessions by tailing~/.claude/projects/transcripts (TranscriptReader/TranscriptTailerextract activity + token totals);ExternalAgentsadapts Grok (~/.grok/sessions) and Copilot (~/.copilot/history-session-state). This is read-only and always on. - Event server:
EventServeris anNWListenerHTTP server on127.0.0.1:4711. Any tool POSTs to/eventwith headerX-Agent-Isle-Tokenmatching~/.agent-isle/token(created on first launch). Read the module comment before touching it — see the parking model below.

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.

agent-isle CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository DevLab-Technologies/agent-isle (44 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,607 tokens to every session, about $0.0064 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
