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 | $0.09205 | $0.09205 |
| Opus 5 | $0.04602 | $0.04602 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.01841 | $0.01841 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00920 | $0.00920 |
Grade A, and why
ai-distiller 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 9d 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.

AI Distiller - Claude Development Instructions
Project Overview
AI Distiller is a high-performance CLI tool that extracts essential code structure from large codebases, making them digestible for LLMs by removing unnecessary details while preserving semantic information. Think of it as "code compression for AI context windows."
Key Project Goals
- Single native binary - No runtime dependencies, works everywhere
- Blazingly fast - Process 10MB codebase in <2 seconds
- Multi-language support - 15+ languages via tree-sitter WASM
- Flexible output - Text, Markdown, JSON, JSONL, XML formats
- Granular control - Strip exactly what you don't need
CLI Interface Specification
The main CLI is aid (AI Distiller):
aid [path] [flags]
# Examples:
aid # Process current directory
aid src/ # Process src directory
aid main.py # Process single file
aid --comments=0,implementation # Remove comments and implementations
aid --format json-structured --output api.json # JSON output to file
aid --private=0 --protected=0 --internal=0 --stdout # Print only public members to stdout
# Special git mode (activated when path is .git):
aid .git # Show full git history
aid .git --git-limit=50 # Show last 50 commits
aid .git --with-analysis-prompt # Include AI analysis prompt for insights
# AI-powered analysis modes:
aid --ai-action=flow-for-deep-file-to-file-analysis # Generate comprehensive task list
aid --ai-action=flow-for-multi-file-docs # Generate documentation workflow
aid --ai-action=prompt-for-refactoring-suggestion # Generate refactoring analysis prompt
aid --ai-action=prompt-for-complex-codebase-analysis # Full codebase analysis with diagrams
aid --ai-action=prompt-for-security-analysis # Security-focused analysis prompt
aid --ai-action=prompt-for-performance-analysis # Performance optimization analysis
aid --ai-action=prompt-for-best-practices-analysis # Best practices and code quality analysis
aid --ai-action=prompt-for-bug-hunting # Systematic bug hunting analysis
aid --ai-action=prompt-for-single-file-docs # Single file documentation analysis
aid --ai-action=prompt-for-diagrams # Generate 10 beneficial Mermaid diagrams
# Legacy mode (deprecated):
aid --ai-analysis-task-list # Use --ai-action=flow-for-deep-file-to-file-analysis instead
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.

ai-distiller CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository janreges/ai-distiller (167 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9,205 tokens to every session, about $0.0460 per session on Opus 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.
