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 | $0.02159 | $0.02159 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00864 | $0.00864 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00432 | $0.00432 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00216 | $0.00216 |
Grade A, and why
threadknot 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 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 — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Threadknot — every coding agent on one thread
A Tauri (Rust) desktop app that drives Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Kimi Code, and remote hermes-agent gateways natively over their wire protocols — no terminal wrapping, no Node server — and serves the same UI to any browser on the LAN, so the app is usable from a phone.
Shipped as Armada until the 2026-08 rename. See "Rename compatibility" below before touching anything that reads from disk.
Owner: Spencer Smith (Smith Network Solutions).

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.
