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 | $0.01110 | $0.01110 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00444 | $0.00444 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00222 | $0.00222 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00111 | $0.00111 |
Grade A, and why
tages 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 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.

Tages — Project Configuration
Overview
Tages is an open-source MCP server + CLI + dashboard that gives AI coding agents persistent, cross-session memory about codebases. Named after the Etruscan divine child who dictated sacred knowledge to scribes.
Repo: https://github.com/ryantlee25-droid/tages
Stack: pnpm monorepo — Node.js/TypeScript
npm packages: @tages/cli (CLI), @tages/server (MCP server), @tages/shared (types)
Architecture
packages/
server/ # MCP server (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, stdio transport)
# 56 MCP tools, 22 server modules, 74 test suites (817 tests: 804 passing, 13 skipped)
cli/ # tages CLI (commander.js, 42 top-level commands, 71 incl. subcommands)
shared/ # Shared types + Supabase client factory
apps/
dashboard/ # Next.js 16 + Supabase Auth + Tailwind + shadcn/ui
# Auth, project list, memory browser, stats, conflicts, graph
supabase/
migrations/ # 64 Postgres migrations (schema, RLS, RPCs, indexes)
Key Design Decisions
- Primary storage: Supabase Postgres with pg_trgm fuzzy search + pgvector semantic search
- Local cache: SQLite (better-sqlite3) for sub-10ms MCP queries, 60s async sync to Supabase
- Auth: Supabase Auth with GitHub OAuth; CLI tokens hashed with SHA-256
- Encryption: Optional AES-256-GCM field-level encryption (set
TAGES_ENCRYPTION_KEY) - LLM for auto-indexing: Ollama (local) -> Claude Haiku (API) -> dumb mode (file paths only)
- Transport: stdio (standard for Claude Code / Cursor MCP integration)
Security
- RBAC: Owner/admin can write, member read-only (migration 0031)
- RLS: Enabled on all tables with per-user/per-project policies
- Token management: SHA-256 hashed, supports expiration +
tages token rotate - Encryption at rest: AES-256-GCM for memory values (opt-in via env var)
- Secret/PII detection: Blocks high-severity secrets, warns on PII before storage
- Auth audit logging: Tracks login success/failure, token validation events
- Transport security: HSTS, CSP (no unsafe-eval in production), SameSite=Strict cookies
- Input validation: Zod schemas on all 56 MCP tools, URL slug validation, 1MB request limits
- SECURITY.md: Responsible disclosure policy at repo root
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.

tages CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ryantlee25-droid/tages (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,110 tokens to every session, about $0.0044 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
