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 | $0.01068 | $0.01068 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00427 | $0.00427 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00214 | $0.00214 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00107 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
pulse CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 17d 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 directorieslowAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
`~/.claude/settings.json`, POSTing each turn to `{CONVEX_URL}/ingest`. Creds in Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pulse: Claude Context
Orientation for Claude sessions. The code is the source of truth; this file is the map. Eman drives the work directly in conversation.
What this is
Pulse is an open-source memory engine for AI-assisted work, built around Claude Code. It captures every Claude Code turn to the user's own Convex deployment, then a nightly digest turns each day into an Obsidian-style daily note in the user's notes git repo. Future: a weekly synthesizer and output heads (devlog, standup, brag doc). It is a genericized public extraction of a private agent pipeline.
Built by Muhammad Eman Aftab (GitHub: muhammademanaftab). Solo project.
Architecture (Convex-backed; NOT a Claude Code plugin)
This is deliberately not packaged as a plugin. Distribution is "clone the repo + run a setup script" (capture) and "a cloud routine that clones the repo and runs the digest SKILL" (notes), matching how Eman actually runs it.
- Capture (L0):
skills/setup/capture.pyruns as aStophook in the user's~/.claude/settings.json, POSTing each turn to{CONVEX_URL}/ingest. Creds in~/.pulse/.env. No-ops if unconfigured, always exits 0 (never breaks a session). - Setup:
skills/setup/SKILL.md(agent-driven runbook) +skills/setup/install.py(re-runnable, stdlib only). install.py deploys the backend, writes~/.pulse/.env, copies capture.py to~/.claude/hooks/pulse-capture.py, and safely merges theStophook intosettings.json. The user only does the Convex browser login. - Backend (L1):
convex-backend/is a per-user Convex deployment. Apromptstable + HTTP API (/ingest,/unprocessed,/all,/mark-processed), Bearer auth viaINGEST_TOKEN. - Digest (L3):
skills/digest/digest.py(subcommandsfetch,render-block,month-links,open-loops,carry-forward,lint,coverage,check-links) +skills/digest/SKILL.md(the LLM runbook, read by the routine; paths are repo-relative). Writes an Obsidian daily note to the user's notes repo, links it into a month hub + index, runs the three gates and a reviewer subagent, then commits/pushes and marks rows processed. - Nightly:
routines/holds claude.ai cloud routines (digest.md) that clone the repo and run the digest with the machine off.
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.

pulse CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository muhammademanaftab/pulse (9 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,068 tokens to every session, about $0.0043 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
