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 | $0.01796 | $0.01796 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00718 | $0.00718 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00359 | $0.00359 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00180 | $0.00180 |
Grade A, and why
brainoutside 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 — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
BrainOutside — working notes for agents
Self-hosted memory server. A git repo of markdown is the user's brain; this Django app indexes it, serves it over REST + MCP with visibility tiers enforced server-side, and gates every write behind human approval.
Single-user, single-brain. That is the product, not a limitation.
Full architecture and milestones: docs/PLAN.md. Deploying:
docs/DEPLOY.md. (Internal working docs — launch plan, release
checklist, design docs — live untracked under docs/, maintainer's
machine only; see .gitignore.)
This repo is NOT the brain. The brain is a separate repo the server
clones into data/brain-repo. Never edit brain content from here.
Stack
Django 5.2 / Python 3.13, Postgres, Redis, Django-Q2. Docker Compose:
web + mcp + worker + postgres + redis.

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.
