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 | $0.00552 | $0.00552 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00221 | $0.00221 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00110 | $0.00110 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00055 | $0.00055 |
Grade A, and why
claude-plugins 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Adding a Plugin
-
Create plugin directory:
mkdir -p plugins/my-plugin/.claude-plugin -
Create
plugin.json:{ "name": "my-plugin", "version": "0.1.0", "description": "Plugin description", "author": { "name": "Nick Nisi", "email": "[email protected]" }, "keywords": ["optional", "search", "terms"] } -
Add components (agents, skills, commands, or MCP servers)
-
Sync marketplace:
pnpm run sync
The sync script auto-discovers plugins and generates marketplace.json.
- Make sure to update the README for that plugin.
MCP Servers
Custom MCP Server
Use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} for paths:
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "${API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}
Build: pnpm run build (bundles to dist/)
External MCP Server
{
"mcpServers": {
"external": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@org/mcp-server"]
}
}
}
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.
