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 | $0.00408 | $0.00408 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00163 | $0.00163 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00082 | $0.00082 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00041 |
Grade A, and why
skills 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
Replicate Skills: Agent Notes

Editing guidelines
- Keep each
SKILL.mdconcise and practical. Prefer bullet lists over long prose. - Every code snippet must be runnable. The test runner executes them all.
- Treat
https://api.replicate.com/openapi.jsonas the source of truth for API details. - Do not add language-specific client guidance unless explicitly requested.

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.
