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 | $0.04890 | $0.04890 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01956 | $0.01956 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00978 | $0.00978 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00489 | $0.00489 |
Grade A, and why
redmem 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 2mo 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 — 385 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
redmem — development guide
Claude Code hooks: a secret shield, session memory, an image compressor, an autopilot loop, and a set of guards. Everything runs as a short-lived subprocess spawned per tool call, which shapes almost every constraint below.
Read docs/design/architecture.md for the full specification. This file is
what you need before touching the code.
The one that will bite you first: the interpreter
python3 on PATH is not necessarily the interpreter with your packages.
A hook process does not source your shell rc. So the python3 that resolves
correctly when you type it can resolve to something else entirely when Claude
Code spawns the hook. An alias python3=... is worse than useless here: an
alias exists only in interactive shells, so it hides the split rather than
fixing it.
On 2026-07-27 this destroyed a 235-entry encrypted vault twice in one session.
The machine had two brew pythons; the one holding the linked python3 had no
cryptography, so the shield could not decrypt its own mapping, treated it as
empty, and truncated it. Every check run by hand said the right interpreter.
Consequences for you:
- Run tests with an interpreter that has
cryptography, not with whateverpython3resolves to. Verify before you trust it:<your python3> -c 'import sys, cryptography; print(sys.executable)' install.shresolves an interpreter, requiresimport cryptography, and writes its absolute path intosettings.json. It refuses to install if none qualifies. Do not "simplify" that back topython3.- Claude Code caches hook commands at session start. Editing
settings.jsondoes not affect the running session. Afterinstall.sh, restart Claude Code or you will be testing the old configuration and drawing confident, wrong conclusions.

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.

redmem CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tokligence/redmem (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 4,890 tokens to every session, about $0.0196 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 2026-08-31.
