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 | $0.00831 | $0.00831 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00415 | $0.00415 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00166 | $0.00166 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00083 | $0.00083 |
Grade A, and why
claude-agentic-coding-playbook 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 8d 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.
Runs shell commandslowCapability
Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.
- **Zero npm dependencies** — all hooks use Node stdlib only (`fs`, `path`, `os`, `crypto`, `child_process`) How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agentic Coding Playbook
Evidence-based practices for LLM-assisted software development. Hooks and scripts for Claude Code.
Quality Gates
Run these before every commit:
- Test:

No type-check or lint commands — this is a bash + Node scripting project.

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.

claude-agentic-coding-playbook CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository john-wilmes/claude-agentic-coding-playbook (4 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 831 tokens to every session, about $0.0042 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands).
