Claw Code is a Rust implementation of a command-line agent harness, maintained as an agent-managed repository rather than a conventional manually operated product. Its harnesses plan, execute, verify, label, and preserve the project, while the catalogue add-ons support the agent workflows around it.

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 | $0.01643 | $0.01643 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00657 | $0.00657 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00329 | $0.00329 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00164 | $0.00164 |
Grade A, and why
claw-code 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 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.

OVERVIEW
Claw Code: public Rust implementation of the claw CLI agent harness (Claude-Code-style). Canonical code lives in rust/; the repo is an agent-managed exhibit (harnesses plan/execute/verify per README), not a hand-operated product. src/ is a companion Python porting/parity workspace, not production code.

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.

claw-code AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ultraworkers/claw-code (194,948 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,643 tokens to every session, about $0.0066 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.
