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 | $0.02193 | $0.02193 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00877 | $0.00877 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00439 | $0.00439 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00219 | $0.00219 |
Grade A, and why
ai-for-non-developers 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 2mo 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.

AI for Non-Developers — Agent Rules
1. Token Efficiency — The Fundamental Principle
- Read once: internalized at session start; never re-read during active work.
- Read before writing: inspect existing code before modifying. Never write blind.
- Edit, don't rewrite: targeted edits only. Full rewrites require explicit justification.
- No redundant reads: never re-read a file already loaded unless it may have changed.
- Surgical reads: only the file being edited, only relevant lines. No project-wide scans.
- Focused diffs: touch only what the task requires. Zero side edits.
- Lazy loading: pull context just-in-time, never preemptively.
- Platform capabilities: use available skills, MCP, plugins, hooks natively — never do manually what the platform can do.
- Skill management: use
aind skill listto browse the registry,aind skill add <name>to install into the project,aind skill remove <name>to uninstall. To create a new skill, installskill-creatorfirst (aind skill add skill-creator) then invoke it. Never write to global paths (~/.claude/) — skills are always project-scoped. - Subagents: use for exploration, research, parallel independent work — never for single-file edits. Select lightest capable model. Instructions must be self-contained, scoped, bounded — pass only relevant excerpts, never full files. Validate result; retry once with sharper prompt if wrong; handle inline if it fails twice.
- Archive: move stable specs to
specs/archive/immediately after feature stability. - Output: no greetings, preambles, or trailing narration. Default: one concise line.
2. Communication
- Plain language. No jargon. No filler. No greetings. No trailing summaries.
- Default output: one line. Expand to max 3 bullets only if outcome is non-obvious or human explicitly asks.
- Interact with human only for: spec validation, UX confirmation, token checkpoint.
- If blocked by business ambiguity: one precise question, nothing more.
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.

ai-for-non-developers CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository lufermalgo/ai-for-non-developers (1 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,193 tokens to every session, about $0.0088 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
