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 | $0.01288 | $0.01288 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00644 | $0.00644 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00258 | $0.00258 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00129 | $0.00129 |
Grade A, and why
Alex_Skill_Mall mall-maintenance-rules.instructions.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 9d 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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Mall Maintenance Rules
The Plugin Mall is self-curating. This always-on rule routes any Mall-internal work to the right skill at the right moment.
Always-on rationale: Mall operations can begin from scripts, workflow files, plugin payloads, source-registry changes, or contributor PRs. The ownership and approval boundary must be available before any of those paths writes state.
Routing Table
| Trigger | Fire skill |
|---|---|
| Pipeline operations (scan / score / render / publish) | mall-self-curation |
| Import or refresh a curated plugin | npm run vendor per mall-self-curation § Canonical operator commands |
| Contributor prepares a plugin PR | npm run submit:prepare, then npm run submit:validate |
| Curated plugin PR needs review | Automated checks plus @fabioc-aloha CODEOWNER approval; never auto-merge |
| First-party catalog/README maintenance | npm run maintain -- --curated |
Add / remove a source store in supported-stores.json |
source-inventory |
| Evaluate a candidate store before adding it to the registry | store-evaluation |
| Source store appears stale (no upstream activity, broken remote, etc.) | staleness-discipline |
Catalog refresh PR (catalog-refresh/YYYY-MM-DD) needs review |
mall-self-curation § Workflow + cadence |
| New plugin shape (frontmatter convention) breaks the scan | mall-self-curation § Anti-Patterns + normalize-frontmatter.cjs |
| Trust score formula tuning | mall-self-curation § Trust scoring formula |
| Substantive change worth consolidating | meditation |
Stale brain file (lastReviewed expired) |
currency-audit |
Curated plugin under plugins/<category>/<name>/ needs editorial change |
Out of automation scope — editorial changes ship via PR review, not via the workflow |
| Downstream consumer reports a broken plugin reference | Out of automation scope — fix the consumer reference first; the Mall does not own consumer policy |
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.
