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 | $0.13756 | $0.13756 |
| Opus 5 | $0.06878 | $0.06878 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.02751 | $0.02751 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01376 | $0.01376 |
Grade A, and why
agent-almanac 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 today.
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 — 616 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
A documentation-first repository containing 35 guides, a skills library of 372 agentic skills, 75 agent definitions, 22 team compositions, and a curated set of code-driven workflow orchestration scripts, following the Agent Skills open standard. Almost all content is markdown and YAML; workflows are self-contained .mjs scripts run by Claude Code's Workflow tool.
The guides serve as the human entry point to the agentic system: practical walkthroughs explaining when, why, and how to interact with agents, teams, skills, and workflows through Claude Code.
Architecture
Five Content Types
-
Guides (
guides/directory): Human-readable documentation organized into five categories (workflow, infrastructure, reference, design, investigation). Each guide has YAML frontmatter (title,description,category,agents,teams,skills) and follows a standard template (guides/_template.md). Guides serve as the human entry point to the agentic system. -
Skills (
skills/directory): Machine-consumable structured procedures that agentic systems execute. Each skill lives atskills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdwith YAML frontmatter (name,description,allowed-tools,metadata) and standardized sections (When to Use, Inputs, Procedure, Validation, Common Pitfalls, Related Skills). Skills are organized into logical domains via metadata tags (live count in the auto-generated registries section below), but the directory structure is flat. -
Agents (
agents/directory): Persona definitions for Claude Code subagents. Each agent is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter (name,description,tools,model,priority) defining who handles a task. Agents span development, compliance, review, project management, DevOps, MLOps, workflow visualization, esoteric, and specialty domains.
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.

agent-almanac CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository pjt222/agent-almanac (32 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 13,756 tokens to every session, about $0.0688 per session on Opus 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.
