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 | $0.01868 | $0.01868 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00747 | $0.00747 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00374 | $0.00374 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00187 | $0.00187 |
Grade C, and why
dev-agent CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
- Never delete data or run destructive commands (`rm -rf`, `git reset --hard`, `git push --force`, How it starts

CLAUDE.md — dev-agent plugin source repo
This repo IS the source of the dev-agent Claude Code plugin. The actual runtime behavior that
ships to target projects lives in agents/*.md and commands/*.md at the repo root (plugin
convention — see .claude-plugin/plugin.json) — those files must stay self-contained, since a
target project has no access to this file.
This CLAUDE.md only governs sessions working ON this repo (developing the plugin itself).
Workflow the plugin implements (see commands/implement.md for the authoritative version)
Since v1.4.0, every /implement run is "Deep Mode" (the only mode — no separate fast path) and
follows the same numbered 15-stage lifecycle; commands/implement.md → Execution stages has the
authoritative table. .devagent/ inside the target project persists progress (state.json,
plan.md, progress.md, decisions.md, failures.md) so /implement --resume can pick a session
back up — see docs/deep-execution.md. What follows are the same task-shape → stage-selection
patterns as before, now expressed as which of the 15 stages actually run:
Default (bug fix / small change — unchanged since before architect/ux-designer/
frontend-developer existed):
Understand → Research (researcher) → Plan → Implement (developer) → Test (tester)
→ Review (reviewer) → Definition of Done → PASS+APPROVED → done
→ FAIL / CHANGES REQUIRED → back to developer → Test again
Frontend feature, Playwright available in the target project:
Research (researcher) → UX Designer → Frontend Developer → Test (tester) → Visual QA (visual-qa)
→ Review (reviewer) → Definition of Done → PASS+APPROVED → done
→ Visual QA FAIL → back to Frontend Developer → Test → Visual QA again
Frontend feature, Playwright unavailable: same as above minus Visual QA, reported explicitly as "Visual QA skipped: browser automation capability unavailable" rather than silently omitted.
Full pipeline (new project / major feature — "One-Shot Project Builder"):
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.

dev-agent CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Surjal/dev-agent (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,868 tokens to every session, about $0.0075 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
