Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.01341 | $0.01341 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00671 | $0.00671 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00268 | $0.00268 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00134 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
octopus-cli 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 6d 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.

Project Overview
Octopus CLI is a command-line tool that provides local API forwarding proxy service to solve Claude Code API switching problems. It allows users to configure multiple API endpoints and keys via TOML configuration files, then dynamically switch between them without restarting Claude Code or modifying environment variables.
Technology Stack: Go (Golang)
Configuration Format: TOML

Key Architecture Components
- CLI Interface: Command-line commands for service management and configuration
- HTTP Proxy Server: Receives Claude Code requests and forwards to configured APIs
- Configuration Manager: Manages multiple API configurations with TOML persistence
- Forward Engine: Handles actual HTTP request forwarding and response processing
- Management API: RESTful API for runtime configuration switching
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.

octopus-cli CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository VibeAny/octopus-cli (22 stars, last pushed 11mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,341 tokens to every session, about $0.0067 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.
