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 | $0.10493 | $0.10493 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.04197 | $0.04197 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.02099 | $0.02099 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01049 | $0.01049 |
Grade A, and why
TangleClaw CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.
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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- **Run `tc capabilities` BEFORE concluding a capability is missing — never improvise one.** `tc` is normally on PATH in a launched pane (verbs: `whoami`, `capabilities`, `sessions`, `message`, `control`, `start`, `workl How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 511 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
Project Vision: TangleClaw is an open-source, local-first AI-native SDLC orchestration platform. We are building the execution and control plane for fleets of specialized AI agents (Project Managers, Architects, Builders) across the software development lifecycle.
Core Rules (Enforced)
- Update CHANGELOG.md with every change
- All functions must have JSDoc comments
- Write tests alongside implementation
- Follow session wrap protocol before ending
- All port assignments go through PortHub
Extension Rules
- Update docs in same commit as code changes
- Use decision framework before adding code
- Independent Critic review after medium+ work
This Repo's Exceptions To The Global Rules Below
The Global Rules section that follows is TangleClaw's guidance for the projects it manages, mirrored here. TangleClaw is itself one of those managed projects, so the rules apply — except where this repo's own tooling makes them wrong. Each exception below is the authority for this repo; the mirrored rule stays as written because it is correct everywhere else.
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.
