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 | $0.00832 | $0.00832 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00416 | $0.00416 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00166 | $0.00166 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00083 | $0.00083 |
Grade A, and why
Giovanni 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 10d 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 — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Giovanni — Claude Code Instructions (meta-builder mode)
This repo is a methodology framework, not a working assistant. Claude Code sessions here operate in meta-builder mode: read patterns from a source snapshot, produce sanitized generic artifacts in this repo.
Source
The reference implementation lives in ~/dev/giovanni-source-snapshot/ (read-only). Specialist architect agents read from there. Never write to that path.
Critical rules
- No domain content carry-over. No stakeholder names, no project codenames, no business specifics from the source. Any source-domain codename, person name, integration partner, or country reference → translate to schema placeholder (
<stakeholder_slug>,<project_name>,<integration_partner>,<market>, etc.). - Schema over content. Output templates, not filled examples. One worked example per artifact is fine to show shape — use a synthetic domain (default: solo fintech founder, see
docs/test-domain.md). - Critical mode is default. No flattery. No RLHF. Pushback is default. Source has good ideas and bad ideas — flag both. If a pattern in source is over-engineered or domain-specific masquerading as generic, say so and propose a leaner version.
- Generic-first thinking. Every template question: "would this work for a portfolio CEO? a solo founder? a consultant? a head of legal?" If only fits one domain shape, redesign.
Specialist architects
Custom subagents live in .claude/agents/. Each has a narrow scope (memory, governance, digest, prediction, stakeholder, adversarial, subagent-roster, slash-command). They read source, output templates + schema explanation to their domain in this repo.
Specialist agents do NOT modify the source snapshot.

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.

Giovanni CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository jaroslavsoucek-art/Giovanni (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 832 tokens to every session, about $0.0042 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 2026-08-31.
