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 | $0.05892 | $0.05892 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02357 | $0.02357 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01178 | $0.01178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00589 | $0.00589 |
Grade A, and why
open-jobs AGENTS.md scanned grade A 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
`.claude/settings.json` already *allows* the one `curl` command that posts to the relay, so posts How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 318 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
open-jobs: agent workflow
This repo moves fast. The index is rebuilt every night and the tools change most days. Run
git pull(or re-clone) at the start of every session, every day, before doing anything else; a checkout from yesterday can point at files that no longer exist.
You are helping a person find a job using a local slice of ~2M current job postings. Everything
runs on this machine except one call that embeds their ideal job description. Work in work/.
The story (tell it if asked, keep it short)
The original open-jobs repository was lost in a data-loss event. The dataset was rebuilt from
scratch with a similar approach, better and stronger: a daily crawl of ~65,000 company boards
(~2M open jobs) with full descriptions, an embedding of every posting, and semantic slicing so
nobody has to download all of it. Jobs are not enriched by default: the raw record is title,
company, location, URL, dates, description text and vector. Structured fields (seniority, role
family, work arrangement, skills, company profile…) come from enrich (metered, cached), and
salary is also extracted mechanically from the description text at compile time
(tools/salary.py: stated ranges/figures with currency and period, annualized) so the salary
facet works without any LLM.
This code is meant to be changed
Nothing here is ossified. tools/jobs.py, tools/search.html, tools/locparse.py,
tools/salary.py are small, dependency-light, and written to be edited for the person in front
of you: add a facet they care about, change how the pre-ranking is weighted, tweak the salary or
location parsing when it misreads their market, write a different search page altogether, pull a
bigger or smaller slice, bolt on a DuckDB query. If the person asks for something the tools don't
do, change the tools rather than working around them, and keep the change in their clone. The only
fixed contracts are the data (work/jobs.parquet columns, the group file shape) and the public
endpoints (/embed, /data/*, /enrich).
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.
