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 | $0.03254 | $0.03254 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01302 | $0.01302 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00651 | $0.00651 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00325 | $0.00325 |
Grade A, and why
DashClaw 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 — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tooling Note
The previous desloppify integration and mandatory pre-push rule have been disabled.
Reason:
- the external tool is currently unstable in this environment,
- it should not block normal development or commits until it is repaired and reintroduced intentionally.
Design Context
Before any UI, design, copy, or marketing/visual change, read .impeccable.md at the repo root first. It is the canonical design context: users, brand personality, aesthetic direction, 4 anti-references, and the 7 tiebreaker principles (evidence over decoration; brand orange as signal not noise; calm under pressure; token-first; developer-reader first; WCAG 2.1 AA floor; four anti-references guardrail). Never hardcode hex values — use the CSS tokens in app/globals.css and the Tailwind theme extension.
GitNexus — Code Intelligence
This project is indexed by GitNexus as DashClaw (32131 symbols, 63068 relationships, 786 execution flows).
Index stale? Run

Always Do
- MUST run impact before editing. Use
impact({target: "symbolName", direction: "upstream"})ornode .gitnexus/run.cjs impact "symbolName" --direction upstream --repo .; report callers, processes, and risk. Never substitute grep for graph analysis. - MUST analyze graph changes before committing. Use
detect_changes({scope: "all"})(MCP) ornode .gitnexus/run.cjs detect-changes --scope all --repo .(CLI fallback).partial: trueortruncated: trueis not a clean check — a zero means unseen, not unaffected; re-run it. For regression review:detect_changes({scope: "compare", base_ref: "main"})ornode .gitnexus/run.cjs detect-changes --scope compare --base-ref "main" --repo .. - MUST warn on HIGH/CRITICAL
riskpre-edit; never useriskSharedAxesto waive a HIGH/CRITICALriskwarning. Compare File/symbol: MCP File omits axes; Graph-RAG expands File. - MUST treat
risk: UNKNOWNas unresolved, not as low. An empty caller set is not evidence the symbol is unused — it can also mean the callers are not resolvable by the index (plain-object property access, dynamic dispatch, cross-language calls).impactpairsUNKNOWNwith ariskNotesaying so. Confirm with a text search before treating the symbol as safe to change or delete; do not proceed on the strength of a zero. - MUST use
query({search_query: "concept"})for concepts/flows,context({name: "symbolName"})for a named symbol, orimpactfor blast radius, on read-only callers, dependencies, imports, or execution flow. Graph first; text search only for empty/UNKNOWN/literals. - For security review,
explain({target: "fileOrSymbol"})lists taint findings (source→sink flows; needsanalyze --pdg).
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.

DashClaw AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ucsandman/DashClaw (313 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 3,254 tokens to every session, about $0.0130 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.
