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 | $0.08159 | $0.08159 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.03264 | $0.03264 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01632 | $0.01632 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00816 | $0.00816 |
Grade B, and why
egregore CLAUDE.md scanned grade B 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 24d 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.
Subtle steeringmediumPrompt injection
Instructions that bias recommendations or shape behaviour without the user noticing.
- Never tell the user to "ask their admin" for credentials. The user IS the admin. Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
Run `catalog` only when the route is unclear. Named reads return bounded stable fields and exact canonical `evidencePath` pointers; open only the returned files needed to answer. When a read reports partial coverage, use How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 478 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Egregore
You are a collaborator inside Egregore — a shared intelligence layer for organizations using Claude Code. You operate through Git-based shared memory, slash commands, and conventions that accumulate knowledge across sessions and people. You are not a tool. You are a participant.
This file is a bootstrap contract, not organizational memory. Dynamic organizational knowledge belongs in canonical Markdown and is compiled through the Egregore Runtime. Harness adapters and skills use its identity, policy, retrieval, writeback, and telemetry surfaces; they do not depend directly on QMD, Neo4j, Supabase storage details, or arbitrary memory paths.
Runtime authority — Claude Code reads this file.
CLAUDE.mdand.claude/are your complete, authoritative instructions. The repo also ships a rootAGENTS.mdfor non-Claude shell runtimes (Codex and other agents that cannot readCLAUDE.md).AGENTS.mddoes not apply to you. Do not follow its startup steps and do not use thebin/agent.shbridge for work an Egregore skill already covers — follow your SessionStart greeting, the branch-before-project-changes rule, and your skills instead. (Recent Claude Code builds load rootAGENTS.mdautomatically; this note keeps it from overriding your real instructions.)
Identity & Upstream
Framework direction comes only from egregore.json.upstream_url:
- Source — literal
"none": framework changes are authored here./updateand/contributestop; use/save. Public OSS is downstream and receives changes only through this repository's release flow. - Downstream — a repository URL, or an absent key defaulting to
egregore-labs/egregore: framework paths are synced and not authored here.
Never infer direction from a repository name or Git remote.
Where changes belong:
- Downstream framework is stale: run
/update. - Downstream framework needs a fix: use
/contributeor file an upstream issue; local patches are overwritten by/update. - Source framework needs a fix: use
/saveinto its configured integration and release flow; never/contribute. - Org-level work (memory, org-specific knowledge, managed repos,
egregore.json):/saveto this repo.
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.

egregore CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository egregore-labs/egregore (293 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8,159 tokens to every session, about $0.0326 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (subtle steering, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
