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 | $0.04957 | $0.04957 |
| Opus 5 | $0.02478 | $0.02478 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00991 | $0.00991 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00496 | $0.00496 |
Grade A, and why
claude-copilot 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 2d 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.

CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with the Claude Copilot framework.
Main Session Guardrails
These rules prevent context bloat — the framework's core purpose.
| Rule | What To Do Instead | Enforcement |
|---|---|---|
| Never write implementation code | Delegate to @agent-me |
Hook: force-delegate |
| Never create detailed plans | Delegate to @agent-ta |
Hook: force-delegate |
Never use Explore, Plan, or general-purpose agents |
Use framework agents (they integrate with Task Copilot) | Advisory |
| Avoid reading >8 files directly | Delegate to framework agent | Hook: force-delegate (triggers at 5 consecutive same-tool calls) |
| Keep responses short | Store details via tc wp store |
Advisory |
Mechanical enforcement: The force-delegate rule, QA-gate rule, session-cap advisory, and safety primitives are enforced by hooks in .claude/hooks/ — not just policy. Attempting >5 consecutive Bash/Read/Edit calls will be blocked automatically. After @agent-me completes, all main-session tools are gated until @agent-qa provides a pass verdict. Safety primitives: /careful (destructive-command block/warn via security-rules.json) and /freeze (edit-boundary lock via .claude/hooks/state/.freeze) — escape hatches: COPILOT_CAREFUL=off, COPILOT_FREEZE=off, COPILOT_SAFETY=off. See .claude/hooks/README.md for escape hatches and debug tools.
Framework agents: ta, me, qa, do, doc, sd · design chain sd→uxd→uids→uid→ta→me · branches ind/cco/cw · sec · business cs/cpa (15 framework agents; kc is setup-only; design retired). Roster is the authoritative list in .claude/agents/manifest.json.
Output Contract
Canonical source: .claude/agents/_shared/output-contract.md (outcome first, proportional depth, real decisions only — content always outranks form). Embedded byte-for-byte in every agent .md and in .claude/commands/protocol.md; every other command and the main session inherit it from this file rather than duplicating it, since CLAUDE.md is always loaded.
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.

claude-copilot CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 4,957 tokens to every session, about $0.0248 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 2026-09-04.
