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 | $0.00381 | $0.00381 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00152 | $0.00152 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00076 | $0.00076 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
claudeman 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.
What it actually says
Claudeman Development
Documentation Files
- README.md — user-facing install, usage, and migration reference
- ARCHITECTURE.md — design decisions, data flows, and "why" explanations for non-obvious choices
- ROADMAP.md — future enhancement ideas organized by category; uses
- [ ]checkboxes for actionable items - CLAUDE.md (this file) — dev workflow instructions for Claude sessions (testing, git policy)
Testing
If developing from inside a container (e.g., via claudeman itself), run
npm install first — native modules like vitest's rolldown binding are
platform-specific and need to be rebuilt for the container's architecture.
Tests are split into three tiers:
npm test # unit — fast, offline, runs in containers
npm run test:integration # integration — needs network (containers.dev API)
npm run test:e2e # e2e — needs container runtime (podman/docker) + network
npm run test:all # all tiers
File naming convention:
*.test.js— unit tests*.integration.test.js— network-dependent tests*.e2e.test.js— container runtime tests (future)
For a quick smoke test of the CLI:
./claudeman help
./claudeman feature search go
./claudeman profile list
./claudeman migrate --help
To test notifications manually (requires two terminals on host):
# Terminal 1
./claudeman listen
# Terminal 2
node lib/notify.js complete "test"
Git Policy
- Read-only git commands are allowed
- Any git command that modifies the Git state requires explicit user permission
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.
