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 | $0.07950 | $0.07950 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.03180 | $0.03180 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01590 | $0.01590 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00795 | $0.00795 |
Grade C, and why
aragora 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** use raw `find .worktrees -exec rm -rf` or similar ad-hoc deletion. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 565 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Claude Code Integration Guide
Context for Claude Code when working with the Aragora codebase.
Multi-Agent Coordination: If multiple AI agents are working on this codebase, check
docs/COORDINATION.mdbefore starting. Seedocs/AGENT_ASSIGNMENTS.mdfor recommended focus areas by track.Operating Contract: Every autonomous agent (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Droid, agent-bridge harnesses) operates under
docs/AGENT_OPERATING_CONTRACT.md: always-allowed actions, approval-required actions, the "break unreleased branch behavior freely; never break main / public API / release flow / CI" rule, and main-red incident mode. Read it before opening PRs that touch workflows, runner labels, public surfaces, or protected files.
Worktree Isolation (CRITICAL)
Every Claude Code session MUST run in an isolated worktree. Multiple sessions share this repo — editing files in the main directory causes concurrent overwrites.
Automatic isolation (3 layers)
- Preferred:
claude-wtwrapper — Launch Claude via./scripts/claude-wtinstead ofclaude. Creates a fresh worktree automatically. Pass--resumeto reuse an existing one. - Fallback: SessionStart hook — If launched without the wrapper, a hook detects you're in
the main directory and outputs a warning. When you see this warning, call
EnterWorktreebefore making any file edits. - Background cleanup — A LaunchAgent runs every 5 minutes, reconciling worktrees with main (merge strategy) and cleaning up stale ones after 24h. Branches are auto-deleted after merge.
Worktree cleanup (IMPORTANT)
NEVER use raw find .worktrees -exec rm -rf or similar ad-hoc deletion.
This destroys active worktrees with uncommitted work. Always use the safe helpers:
# Safe cleanup (preferred) — respects TTL, checks merge status
python3 scripts/codex_worktree_autopilot.py cleanup --base main --ttl-hours 24
# Per-worktree safe removal — checks for blockers first
python3 scripts/safe_worktree_cleanup.py inspect <worktree-path>
python3 scripts/safe_worktree_cleanup.py remove <worktree-path>
# Minimal safe option — only prunes already-deleted directories
git worktree prune --expire=now
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.

aragora CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository synaptent/aragora (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 7,950 tokens to every session, about $0.0318 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 2026-08-30.
