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 | $0.04836 | $0.04836 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01934 | $0.01934 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00967 | $0.00967 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00484 | $0.00484 |
Grade A, and why
Claude-code-ChatInWindows 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 — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Development Environment
- OS: Windows 10.0.19045
- Shell: Git Bash
- Path format: Windows (use forward slashes in Git Bash)
- File system: Case-insensitive
- Line endings: CRLF (configure Git autocrlf)
Build & Package
Compile:
npm run compile
Package VSIX (must use cmd wrapper, Git Bash swallows vsce output):
cmd //c "npx @vscode/vsce package --no-dependencies"
--no-dependencies: skipsnpm installduring packaging — dependencies are already innode_modulesfrom development; without this flag, vsce may fail or produce a bloated package- Do NOT use
npx @vscode/vsce packagedirectly in Git Bash — it silently fails (exit 0 but no .vsix generated) - Output file:
claude-code-chatui-{version}.vsix
Install VSIX for testing:
- VS Code:
Ctrl+Shift+P→ "Install from VSIX" - CLI:
code --install-extension claude-code-chatui-{version}.vsix
Debug (Extension Development Host):
Ctrl+Shift+D→ select "Run Extension" → click green play button- Remote desktop: F5 may be intercepted, use the play button instead

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.
