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 | $0.05698 | $0.05698 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02279 | $0.02279 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01140 | $0.01140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00570 | $0.00570 |
Grade B, and why
pdlc-skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 2 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 12d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
`pdlc-settings` is the interactive config command (Layer 3); it wires up the optional PDLC statusline (`bin/pdlc-statusline.sh`) — enable/disable/display-items — and toggles the project's opt-in hooks (`docs/00_standards Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
Repository purpose
pdlc-skills is a Claude Code plugin. It exposes 38 standardized "Product Development Life Cycle" stages as slash commands (/pdlc-feature, /pdlc-prd, /pdlc-tdd, ..., /pdlc-onboard) covering PRD → Design → TDD → Implement → Review → Ship → Deploy → Retro and 24 specialized tools.
The repo is both a plugin and a single-plugin marketplace (so claude plugin marketplace add github:kanfu-panda/pdlc-skills registers it directly).
Claude Code is the first-class target: it loads skills/ directly as a plugin. Other tools get a build-time projection that follows the Agent Skills open standard (adapters/build_agent_skills.py, installed with install.sh --target agents | codex); skills/ itself is not standard-conformant on purpose (it keeps Claude Code's argument-hint and our own top-level fields). See docs/decisions/0007-agent-skills-standard.md.
Repository layout

│ ├── pdlc-checks.sh ← runs test-commands.yml and prints the checks JSON (three-state); called by pdlc-advance.sh and by quality
│ ├── pdlc-advance.sh ← the only state-transition writer: runs the stage's checks itself, refuses to advance on red or when tdd's tests were changed, writes history + last_phase_result atomically (all 11 state-writing skills)
│ ├── pdlc-guard.sh ← opt-in Claude Code hooks (hooks/hooks.json): deny direct Write/Edit of state files; lint changed state files on Stop. No-op unless docs/00_standards/pdlc-hooks.yml turns them on
│ └── pdlc-loop.sh ← multi-feature convergence driver (claude | codex | custom --cmd template, unverified; --parallel via worktrees, --status, --report = per-stage steps / blocks across runs for /pdlc-retro, --next = the one next-step mapping that /pdlc-loop-next and /pdlc-loop-run call)
├── hooks/
│ └── hooks.json ← plugin hooks (PreToolUse Write|Edit, Stop) → bin/pdlc-guard.sh; registered whenever the plugin is enabled, so the opt-in lives in the script

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.

pdlc-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository kanfu-panda/pdlc-skills (18 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,698 tokens to every session, about $0.0228 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
