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 | $0.00823 | $0.00823 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00329 | $0.00329 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00165 | $0.00165 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00082 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
ccat 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 — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
Project Overview
This is ccat, a command-line tool for analyzing and managing Claude Code memory files (CLAUDE.md). It's built in Rust and provides comprehensive analysis, diagnostics, and export capabilities for CLAUDE.md files across different scopes (user, project, subdirectory).
Installation
From crates.io (Recommended)
cargo install ccat
From source
git clone https://github.com/nwiizo/ccat.git
cd ccat
cargo install --path .

Architecture Overview
The codebase is organized into five main modules:
Core Module (src/core/)
- Scanner: Discovers CLAUDE.md files in filesystem hierarchy
- Parser: Parses memory files and extracts imports/metadata
- Resolver: Resolves import chains and validates references
- Cache: LRU caching system for parsed files
CLI Module (src/cli/)
- Commands: Eight main commands (show, diagnose, search, diff, watch, export, validate, init)
- Args: Command-line argument definitions and parsing
- Entry point that routes to appropriate command handlers
Analyzer Module (src/analyzer/)
- Diagnostics: Detects issues like circular imports, missing files, large contexts
- Security: Scans for exposed secrets, API keys, passwords
- Validator: Validates memory file structure and content
- Profiler: Performance metrics and analysis
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.

ccat CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository nwiizo/ccat (34 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 823 tokens to every session, about $0.0033 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 2026-08-30.
