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 | $0.01086 | $0.01086 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00543 | $0.00543 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00217 | $0.00217 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00109 | $0.00109 |
Grade A, and why
harness-eval 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 5d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Changelog
Every PR that adds a feature, fixes a bug, or changes behavior must include a CHANGELOG.md entry under [Unreleased]. Add it in the appropriate subsection (Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed). One line per change.
To cut a release: uv run scripts/release.py minor (or patch/major). This moves unreleased entries to a dated version, bumps pyproject.toml, commits, and tags.
Before committing
The CI runs 5 jobs: lint, typecheck, test, security gate, lint gate. All must pass. Run this before committing:
uv run ruff format src/ tests/ && uv run ruff check src/ tests/ && uv run pytest tests/ -q
uv run harness-eval harness-security . --fail-on-error # security gate: errors block (warnings are informational)
uv run harness-eval harness-gate . # gating-tier integrity rules; exits 1 on any finding
uv run harness-eval harness-lint . --fail-on-error # lint: errors block, advisory findings do not
The most common CI failure is forgetting ruff format. The security gate blocks on any security finding (even warnings). harness-gate is the integrity gate. content/broken-references is advisory and does not gate.

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.

harness-eval CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository redhat-community-ai-tools/harness-eval (27 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,086 tokens to every session, about $0.0054 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.
