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 | $0.01136 | $0.01136 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00454 | $0.00454 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00227 | $0.00227 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00114 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
Elliot CLAUDE.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 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.
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 — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Mission
Elliot is a platform that turns existing products into agentic products.
The target user is a product engineer who has a working API or database today and wants AI agents to interact with it natively — with minimum tokens, clean error recovery, and full observability. Elliot provides the tools to design, validate, deploy, and observe agent-ready tool sets built around any API or DB.
The five principles that drive every technical decision:
- Tool descriptions are contracts — verb-first, unambiguous, typed
- Results are sized for context windows — not raw table dumps
- Errors are actionable — agents must know what to do next
- Every agent session is observable — token cost, latency, errors, all visible
- The platform itself is agentic — agents can build connectors through Elliot
Before Every Push — Mandatory Checks
uv run ruff check .
uv run ruff format --check .
uv run mypy packages/core/src packages/mcp-plugin/src packages/connector-runtime/src
uv run pytest --tb=short
pnpm --filter @elliot/studio run typecheck
pnpm --filter @elliot/studio test --run
All six must pass. Fix the issue, re-run from the top, then push.

Rules
- Epic branch from
main. Task branch from its epic branch. - Merge task → epic (no-ff). Merge epic → main only when all tasks pass.
- Never commit directly to
main. - Rename task file to
complete-NNN-name.mdon epic branch after merge.
Task Completion Protocol
- Read the task file in full before writing code.
- Implement only what the task specifies — no extra features.
- Write unit tests as part of the same commit.
- Run the full check suite (above). Fix failures.
- Push task branch. Merge into epic.
- Rename task file:
001-root-workspace.md→complete-001-root-workspace.md. - Commit the rename on the epic branch.
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.

Elliot CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository EliBarak12/Elliot (11 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,136 tokens to every session, about $0.0045 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
