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 | $0.10267 | $0.10267 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.04107 | $0.04107 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.02053 | $0.02053 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01027 | $0.01027 |
Grade A, and why
HomeClaw 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 3d 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 — 711 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
HomeClaw
HomeClaw exposes Apple HomeKit accessories via a CLI tool, plugins for Claude Code and OpenClaw, and a stdio MCP server for Claude Desktop. It uses a unified Mac Catalyst architecture with an AppKit bridge bundle for the macOS menu bar.

HomeClaw (Mac Catalyst UIKit app)
├── HomeKitManager (direct, in-process)
├── SocketServer (for CLI/MCP clients)
└── macOSBridge.bundle (NSStatusItem menu bar)
Single-process design. HMHomeManager requires a UIKit/Catalyst app with the HomeKit entitlement. By making the entire app Catalyst, HomeKit access is direct (no IPC), signing is unified (single archive), and App Store submission is clean. The macOSBridge plugin bundle provides the native macOS menu bar via NSStatusItem.
Note: The native Streamable HTTP MCP server is off by default and can be enabled in Settings → Integrations. When enabled it binds only to loopback at http://127.0.0.1:9090/mcp, is owned by the Catalyst app lifecycle, and exposes /healthz for readiness. It uses SwiftNIO directly, with Host/Origin validation and a deny-by-default read-only tool allowlist; no bearer token or shell launch is required. The Node stdio server remains available independently. MCP/_disabled/ contains an excluded, superseded SDK/token prototype, not the active implementation.

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.

HomeClaw AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository omarshahine/HomeClaw (182 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 10,267 tokens to every session, about $0.0411 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.
