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 | $0.02041 | $0.02041 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01020 | $0.01020 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00408 | $0.00408 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00204 | $0.00204 |
Grade A, and why
the-pair 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 10d 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 — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
AGENTS.md contains the longer architectural reference (module table, component table, state machine, release process). Read it when you need that depth; this file covers the essentials for getting productive fast.
What this app is
The Pair is a Tauri 2 desktop app (Rust backend, React 19 + TypeScript frontend) that orchestrates two AI agents working together on a coding task:
- Mentor — read-only planner/reviewer
- Executor — code writer / command runner
The Rust backend spawns local provider CLIs (opencode, claude, codex, gemini, kimi), parses their JSON event streams, runs a turn-based state machine, monitors process resources, and tracks git changes. The React frontend renders the conversation, status, and controls.
Commands
# Setup
npm install
npm run preflight # Verify rust/node/CLI tools are present
# Dev (runs Tauri shell + Vite renderer on :5173)
npm run dev # Uses scripts/run-with-rustup.mjs to inject PATH
npm run dev:mock # Same, with THE_PAIR_E2E_MOCK=true (no real CLI spawns)
npm run dev:renderer # Renderer-only (browser at :5173, no Tauri APIs)
# Quality gates (run before committing)
npm run lint # eslint --cache
npm run typecheck # Runs both typecheck:node and typecheck:web
npm test # JS tests then `cargo test` for src-tauri
npm run test:js # node --test against tests/*.test.ts (tsx loader)
npm run test:rust # cargo test in src-tauri
# Run a single JS test file
node --import tsx --test tests/handoffGuard.test.ts
# Run a single Rust test
cargo test -q --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml <test_name>
# Builds (each runs preflight + ensures rust targets first)
npm run build:mac # universal-apple-darwin DMG
npm run build:mac:release # Release ZIP bundle used in GitHub Releases
npm run build:win # x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
npm run build:linux # x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
# E2E (Appium + WebdriverIO, macOS only, mock mode)
npm run e2e:setup # One-time: appium driver install mac2
npm run e2e
# Release
npm run bump <version> # Updates package.json + Cargo.toml + tauri.conf.json
npm run validate:changelog
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.

the-pair CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository timwuhaotian/the-pair (360 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,041 tokens to every session, about $0.0102 per session on Opus 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.
