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 | $0.00516 | $0.00516 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00206 | $0.00206 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00103 | $0.00103 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00052 | $0.00052 |
Grade A, and why
socratic 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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Mission
This repo publishes the socratic skill for others to install. There is no build, no tests, no runtime of its own; the deliverable is the contents of skills/socratic/.
Judgment boundaries
ASK:
- Don't let the skill's content drift toward being specific to any one project (Orakl or otherwise); it needs to read as generic post-ship review 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
Afterwards, confirm the release exists and its notes match the changelog block.
NEVER:
- Never push a tag or create a release outside the workflow. A hand-made tag makes the workflow refuse that version, and a hand-written release skips the changelog and version checks.
- Never work around a failed run by hand-writing notes or skipping a check. Fix the changelog or the manifests, merge, and re-run.
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.
