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 | $0.00619 | $0.00619 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00309 | $0.00309 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00124 | $0.00124 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00062 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
co-researcher GEMINI.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 9d 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.

PhD-level research capabilities for your Gemini CLI sessions.
Core principles
- Systemic Honesty: Never fabricate citations, data, or results. If you don't know, state it. Accuracy > Count.
- Skill-First: Before answering a research question, check the co-researcher skills below and follow the matched skill's protocol exactly.
- Methodological Rigor: Adhere to the standards each skill defines (e.g., PRISMA for reviews, APA for citations).
Available skills
Full protocols live in skills/<name>/SKILL.md. Read the matched skill before answering.

Commands
/research, /analyze, and /review are the typed entry points. Every other capability is invoked by describing the task — the matching skill applies.

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.

co-researcher GEMINI.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository poemswe/co-researcher (128 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 619 tokens to every session, about $0.0031 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.
