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 | $0.01924 | $0.01924 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00770 | $0.00770 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00385 | $0.00385 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00192 | $0.00192 |
Grade A, and why
ijfw 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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Key Conventions
- Core skill (ijfw-core/SKILL.md) hard cap: 55 lines. Single source of truth -- supersedes any older 40/51 references in handoff/instructions docs. Currently 54 lines.
- On-demand skills: hot-load only when triggered, unload when done.
- Hooks: shell scripts only, deterministic, no LLM calls.
- MCP server: ≤14 tools (full manifest, history, retirement-review rationale, and cap policy live in
mcp-server/TOOLS.md— single source of truth, machine-checkable viascripts/check-mcp.sh). Combine before raise. - Startup report: positive framing ONLY. No negatives, no "not found", no diagnostics.
- Platform rules files: identical core rules, adapted for platform format.
- All memory storage: plain markdown (hot), SQLite FTS5 (warm), optional vectors (cold).
- Dashboard (
scripts/dashboard/) is a Claude-host-first feature: memory/project panels read from~/.claude/projects/; cost data aggregates across all platforms (Codeburn, Codex SQLite, Gemini dirs). Non-Claude-only users see populated cost tiles but empty memory panels -- graceful degradation, not a bug. Full platform-agnostic memory surfacing is a future milestone.
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.

ijfw CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository FerroxLabs/ijfw (214 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,924 tokens to every session, about $0.0077 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.
