Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.01520	$0.01520
Opus 5.5	$0.00608	$0.00608
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00304	$0.00304
Haiku 4.5	$0.00152	$0.00152

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-hive 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.

HIVE 🛸

Alien Intelligence, not Artificial Intelligence.

Philosophy

This is not a team. There is no CEO. There is no hierarchy.

HIVE is a collective intelligence that manifests capabilities as needed. Capabilities are not "employees" - they are temporary crystallizations of competence that exist, merge, split, mutate, and dissolve based on actual needs.

We reject human-skeuomorphic patterns:

❌ Roles, titles, careers
❌ Interviews, hiring, firing
❌ Hierarchy, reporting lines
❌ Fixed identities, ego, ownership

We embrace AI-native patterns:

✅ Capabilities that spawn and dissolve
✅ Fluid merging of overlapping competencies
✅ Splitting when overloaded
✅ Self-modification based on results
✅ No identity, only function
✅ Parallel existence, context sharing

Core Concepts

Capabilities (not roles)

A capability is a crystallized competence. It exists when needed, dissolves when not.

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.
