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 | $0.00928 | $0.00928 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00371 | $0.00371 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00186 | $0.00186 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00093 | $0.00093 |
Grade A, and why
slow-powers 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 24d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Slow-powers
Slow-powers is a set of software development methodology skills and meta skill-writing guidance.
What lives here
This repo ships Slow-powers across four harnesses:
skills/— Skills, assets, and cross-cutting tests.claude-plugin/— Claude Code plugin.codex-plugin/— OpenAI Codex pluginopencode/— OpenCode plugin (@slowdini/slow-powers-opencode)cline/— Cline plugin (CLI/SDK/Kanban only; declared via theclinefield inpackage.json, withskills/auto-discovered from the package root)
Cline-specific setup for working on this repo also lives at root:
.clinerules/— Cline rules (the Memory Bank custom instructions), trackedmemory-bank/— Cline Memory Bank contents. Gitignored: each developer keeps their own local bank; only the rule in.clinerules/is shared
Editing the right files
Two file-confusion traps are common in this repo. Avoid both:
- Write memory-file changes to
AGENTS.md, the only real file.CLAUDE.md(and any future harness-specific memory files) are symlinks toAGENTS.md. EditAGENTS.mddirectly; the symlinks reflect it automatically. Never try to "fix up" the other names — there's nothing to fix. - Read and edit only files inside this repository, never the installed
slow-powers plugin. Your environment almost always has the slow-powers
plugin installed while this repo is the bleeding-edge
devsource. The two trees diverge, so an installed skill file is not the file you want. Every read and edit belongs to a path under this project directory.
Cross-Harness Compatibility
All skills MUST use cross-harness vocabulary, as described in slow-powers/writing-skills.
Pull Request Requirements
- Read existing skills before proposing changes to skill content. Skill prose has been tuned over many iterations upstream and downstream; changes to behavior-shaping content (Red Flags tables, rationalization lists, "human partner" language) need evidence the change is an improvement.
- Test your change on at least one harness and note which one in the PR description. If your change touches harness-specific infrastructure, test that harness.
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.

slow-powers AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository slowdini/slow-powers (2 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 928 tokens to every session, about $0.0037 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.
