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 | $0.00464 | $0.00464 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00186 | $0.00186 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00093 | $0.00093 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00046 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
lead-protocol 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.
What it actually says
CLAUDE.md — Pointer for Claude Code
This repository uses the Lead Protocol for multi-agent coordination.
Your comprehensive operational instructions are strictly located in .agents/.
MANDATORY BOOT PROCEDURE: At the start of every session, you MUST silently read the following files in order:
.agents/CORE_RULES.md— index of operations and essential contracts.agents/PROJECT_RULES.md— business context; read§J8 Active modulesfirst 2a. Setup gate: if.agents/PROJECT_RULES.mdis missing or still pristine (the§J1Name or§J8substrate/modules still contain[...]placeholders) AND no.lead-protocol-sourcesentinel exists at the repo root, you MUST run the first-run setup interview defined in.agents/PROTOCOL_RULES.md §P10and write the answers before continuing the boot or serving any request, even if the user asked for something else first. The user may replylaterto defer once. In non-interactive environments, skip with a warning.- For each scope listed in
§J8 Active modules(in declaration order):.agents/modules/<scope>.md .agents/AGENTS_MAP.md— tool-signature → agent-slug map (needed to resolve your own<agent>slug).agents/sessions/active_sessions.md— concurrent-session awareness.agents/local/<actor>/<agent>/handoff.md— state of THIS(actor, agent)pair
Before answering a project question, consult relevant INDEX.md entries on demand, then read canonical sources. If the map is absent, use PROJECT_RULES.md §J6 and the independent search recipes in PROTOCOL_RULES.md §P-Access; absence never blocks legacy boot. Do not load the full map or its targets at boot.
PROTOCOL_RULES.md is read on demand, not in the baseline — CORE_RULES.md points to it. See PROTOCOL_RULES.md §P-Access for the full load contract.
Never proceed with coding tasks without first verifying the state in your pair's handoff.md.
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.

lead-protocol CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mmilanez/lead-protocol (5 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 464 tokens to every session, about $0.0019 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.
