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 | $0.00341 | $0.00341 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00170 | $0.00170 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00068 | $0.00068 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00034 |
Grade A, and why
claude-explains 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 6d 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-explains
Single repo containing both the CLI tool source code and the Claude-powered video generation pipeline.
- cli/ — CLI tool source code. Has its own CLAUDE.md with development standards,
.claude/files for CLI development workflows. - pipeline/ — Video generation pipeline. Has its own CLAUDE.md with generation rules,
.claude/agents and skills for creating videos.
Work from inside the directory that matches your task. Each has its own agents, skills, and instructions.
This root CLAUDE.md should stay minimal. Add detail to the relevant subdirectory CLAUDE.md instead.

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.
