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 | $0.01254 | $0.01254 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00502 | $0.00502 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00251 | $0.00251 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00125 | $0.00125 |
Grade A, and why
praxis 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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Project: praxis
A Claude Code plugin that turns any prompt into a full engineering pipeline
(spec, investigate, plan, implement, audit, document, ship) and enforces the
result with deterministic hooks. It is distributed through the ohswedd-praxis
marketplace and runs entirely inside the interactive session.
Commands
- Test:
make test(python3 -m unittest discover -s tests) - Check:
make check(selfcheck, drift, tests, compile: this is what CI runs) - Lint:
make compile(byte-compiles every script; there is no external linter) - Run: there is nothing to run. Exercise a script directly, e.g.
python3 plugins/praxis/scripts/doctor.py, or feed a hook its JSON on stdin.
Architecture
Four layers, only one of which can refuse:
plugins/praxis/output-styles/praxis-quality.md: the always-on doctrine.plugins/praxis/skills/*/SKILL.md: the reasoning workflows, routed per prompt.plugins/praxis/agents/*.md: read-only auditor subagents (Read, Grep, Glob).plugins/praxis/scripts/*.py: the hooks, wired inhooks/hooks.json. These are the only deterministic gates.
scripts/lib/common.py holds every shared helper: the review scope (the branch's
base, its commits, what is still uncommitted, and what it removed), workspace
mode and artifact paths, repo state, the change signature, config resolution,
UI-surface and runtime-harness detection, secret and house-style patterns. Put
shared logic there rather than in a second script. docs/ARCHITECTURE.md is the
long form.
One rule the whole design turns on: praxis measures a claim rather than
accepting it. report.py runs the tests, the three scanners and the end-to-end
harness itself, and refuses an audit citation that does not resolve; the Stop
gate re-derives its verdict from that recorded evidence rather than reading the
report's status. Before adding a check that trusts its caller, look at
ADR-0010, ADR-0026 and ADR-0027, which are the same lesson three times.
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.

praxis CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Ohswedd/praxis (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,254 tokens to every session, about $0.0050 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 2026-08-31.
