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 | $0.02084 | $0.02084 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00834 | $0.00834 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00417 | $0.00417 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00208 | $0.00208 |
Grade D, and why
Remarc CLAUDE.md scanned grade D 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 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
**Codex is install-only: there is no cleanup, no latch, no durable flag, and it deletes nothing.** The app simply stopped writing `[mcp_servers.remarc]` into `~/.codex/config.toml`. Anyone carrying that table from an old Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Agent integrations
Three harnesses, two different delivery models. Do not assume they work the same way.
Claude Code and Codex: plugin-based. Both install from the marketplace at https://github.com/metedata/remarc-agent-plugins, which is not built into the app. Two plugins:
remarc@remarc- required. MCP server + skill.remarc-hooks@remarc- optional, experimental. Session-lifecycle hooks (off by default; user must/plugin install remarc-hooks@remarcexplicitly).
Cursor: still fully app-managed. The app writes ~/.cursor/mcp.json and ~/.cursor/skills/remarc/SKILL.md via HarnessIntegrationManager / CursorMCPInstaller / SkillInstaller, driven by the Enable toggle in Preferences. Cursor's repo marketplaces are Teams/Enterprise-only, so there is no plugin path for individual users. Deliberately deferred, not overlooked - see docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-06-codex-cursor-plugin-migration.md.
Per-harness plugin manifests (important)
The plugin repo ships THREE manifests over one shared payload, because the harnesses disagree about paths:
.claude-plugin/plugin.json+ root.mcp.jsonusing${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}. Claude Code substitutes it..codex-plugin/plugin.json->codex-mcp.jsonusing"args": ["mcp/dist/index.js"], "cwd": ".". Codex does NOT substitute${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}(nor${PLUGIN_ROOT}/${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}) in plugin MCP args, and sets no plugin-root env var - it passes the literal string through, so the server never starts. A relativecwd, resolved against the installed plugin root, is the documented replacement (openai/codex#19582, discussion #28145). Codex prefers.codex-pluginover.claude-pluginwhen both exist, which is what keeps Claude Code unaffected..cursor-plugin/plugin.json- groundwork for a future Cursor Marketplace listing only. No app code consumes it.
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.

Remarc CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository metedata/Remarc (83 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,084 tokens to every session, about $0.0083 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
