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 | $0.00172 | $0.00172 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00069 | $0.00069 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00034 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00017 |
Grade A, and why
Less-Is-More-Skill AGENTS.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
Editing this repo
skills/less-is-more/SKILL.md is the skill and its only copy. Keep agents/openai.yaml beside it, and the README's summary and always-on rule, consistent with it.
When changing the skill:
- It is a way of working that lets agents delete boldly once they have checked, not a list of bans.
- It applies in full to any change whenever it is invoked; never make it depend on words the user has to say.
- Keep a sentence only if it changes what a strong model would otherwise do.
- Use plain words; agents repeat the skill's vocabulary in their replies.
- Apply it to itself: an edit should not make it longer unless new evidence earns the words.
- Keep the header valid for strict parsers: no colon followed by a space inside the description.
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.
