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 | $0.00224 | $0.00224 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00090 | $0.00090 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00045 | $0.00045 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00022 |
Grade A, and why
merovingian 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 2mo 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.
This is a copy
88% identical to morpheus-mcp CLAUDE.md — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Merovingian — cross-repository dependency intelligence (MCP server)
Public-Repo Hygiene — keep this repo agnostic
This is public, project-agnostic infrastructure. Applications built with it live in separate repos and must not leak into it.
Rule: test fixtures, docstring/example code, and commit messages use generic examples only — never the real rules, schema, model/field names, file paths, business logic, or name of the application you're dogfooding against.
- Generic (good):
execute(f"...")f-string SQL,func.sum(Order.total),services/db.py. - App-specific (bad): a client app's real rules/schema/paths, or a commit message naming it.
Test: if you'd be embarrassed to show the fixture or commit to someone building a different app on this server, it's leaked — genericize it.
Before pushing: grep the pending diff (content and commit messages) for
app-specific nouns; confirm no secrets / .env / keys are tracked.
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.
