Homebrew/BrewUI is a native macOS graphical interface for Homebrew, a package manager that installs, updates, and manages software packages. It is for people who want to manage Homebrew through a SwiftUI application instead of the Terminal while seeing the underlying operations. The catalogue entries configure or guide workflows within the BrewUI project.

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 | $0.13053 | $0.13053 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.05221 | $0.05221 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.02611 | $0.02611 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01305 | $0.01305 |
Grade A, and why
BrewUI AGENTS.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 5d 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.

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.
