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 | $0.04645 | $0.04645 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01858 | $0.01858 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00929 | $0.00929 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00464 | $0.00464 |
Grade A, and why
rag-cli 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.

Project Overview
RAG-CLI v2.0 is a local Retrieval-Augmented Generation system designed as a Claude Code plugin. It processes documents locally, generates embeddings, stores vectors in ChromaDB, and uses claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 for response generation.
This version features a complete restructure with clean separation between core library and plugin code, marketplace-ready lifecycle management, and improved maintainability.

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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 596 lines · 4,645 tokens per session scan A 4c1862a2eba7
rag-cli CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ItMeDiaTech/rag-cli (53 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 4,645 tokens to every session, about $0.0186 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.
