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 | $0.01911 | $0.01911 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00764 | $0.00764 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00382 | $0.00382 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00191 | $0.00191 |
Grade A, and why
nori-skillsets 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 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 — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Plugin package changes.
All changes must be compatible on MacOS and Linux. Be careful of using bash tools that may behave differently on different systems.
Claude Code configuration vs. Nori Plugin package
IMPORTANT: When discussing "Claude" or "Claude Code configuration":
- Almost always means modifying files in
src/cli/features/claude-code/(the Nori Plugin package) - Rarely means modifying
~/.claude/(the installed user configuration)
Default assumption: Unless explicitly stated otherwise, "modify Claude configuration", "update skills", "change hooks", etc. refers to modifying the Plugin package source files at src/cli/features/claude-code/, NOT the installed configuration at ~/.claude/.
Examples:
- "Change the status line" → Modify
src/cli/features/claude-code/statusline/
Note: No built-in profiles are shipped with the package. Profiles (skillsets) are stored at ~/.nori/profiles/ and are obtained from the registry or created by users.
Only modify ~/.claude/ when:
- User explicitly says "my installed configuration" or "~/.claude/"
- Testing changes locally before committing to the package
Skills documentation.
Skills in ~/.nori/profiles/<skillset>/skills/ are self-explanatory. Do not create docs.md files in skill directories unless the skill is particularly complex and requires additional context files.
Style guide.
Functions and named parameters.
All functions except class functions should be arrow functions. All of them should use named args, even if there is a single parameter. Follow this pattern throughout:
const foo = (args: { bar: string; baz: number }) => {
const { bar, baz } = args;
};
To set defaults, use the 'withDefaults' helper found in server/src/utils/defaults.ts or ui/src/utils/defaults.ts:
import { withDefaults } from '@/utils/defaults';
const foo = (args: { bar?: string; baz?: number }) => {
const { bar, baz } = withDefaults(args, { bar: 'hello', baz: 10 });
};
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.

nori-skillsets AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tilework-tech/nori-skillsets (170 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,911 tokens to every session, about $0.0076 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 2026-08-30.
