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 | $0.00609 | $0.00609 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00244 | $0.00244 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00122 | $0.00122 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00061 | $0.00061 |
Grade A, and why
prose 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 1mo 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 — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Mission
This repo publishes the prose skill for others to install. There is no build; the deliverable is the contents of skills/prose/.
The scanner has a test suite. After any change to scripts/slop-scan.py, run it from skills/prose/:
python3 tests/run-tests.py
tests/fixtures/clean-blog.md and the lower half of tests/fixtures/noun-stack.md are ordinary prose that must stay silent. If a rule change makes those cases fail, the rule is wrong — do not update the golden to match. Regenerate goldens with --update only when you intended the behaviour change.
Judgment boundaries
ASK:
- Don't let the skill's content drift toward being specific to any one project; it needs to read as generic writing guidance. Ask before changing the license or copyright holder.
Releasing
Releases are cut by the Release workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml), never by hand. It is a manual workflow_dispatch with one input, tag, and it releases the commit at the tip of the branch it is run on. Run it on main.
The workflow, in order:
- Rejects a tag that is not
vX.Y.Z, or that already exists. - Fails unless
versionin.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonandplugins[0].versionin.claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonboth equalX.Y.Z. - Takes the
## [X.Y.Z]block fromCHANGELOG.mdas the release notes, and fails if there is none. - Creates the tag at the checked-out commit and publishes the GitHub release with those notes.
Nothing is created until every check passes, so a failed run leaves nothing to clean up.
To prepare a release, in one PR:
- Set the same new version in
.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonand.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. - Add a
## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DDblock at the top ofCHANGELOG.md, and its[X.Y.Z]: …link reference at the bottom. - Merge to
main.
Then run the workflow on main with tag=vX.Y.Z, from the Actions tab (Release → Run workflow) or from a shell:
gh workflow run release.yml --ref main -f tag=vX.Y.Z
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.
