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 | $0.01180 | $0.01180 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00472 | $0.00472 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00236 | $0.00236 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00118 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
kotadb 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BLUF
KotaDB is a local-only code intelligence API (Bun + TypeScript + SQLite). Use /do for everything.
Quick Start
Primary Entry Point:
/do <request>
The /do command routes your request to the appropriate workflow:
- GitHub issues:
#123, URLs, or SDLC keywords - Expert domains: Claude config and agent authoring tasks
- Questions: "How do I..." style queries
Examples:
/do #123 # Work on GitHub issue
/do "Create a slash command for X" # Claude config task
/do "What tools should an agent have?" # Question
Preserved Commands
For specific operations, these commands remain available:
| Category | Commands |
|---|---|
| Git | /git:commit, /git:pull_request |
| Issues | /issues:feature, /issues:bug, /issues:chore, /issues:refactor, /issues:classify_issue, /issues:audit, /issues:prioritize |
| Tools | /tools:install, /tools:tools |
| Docs | /docs:load-ai-docs |
| Release | /release:release |

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.
