Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.01079	$0.01079
Opus 5.5	$0.00432	$0.00432
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00216	$0.00216
Haiku 4.5	$0.00108	$0.00108

Measured 2mo ago against content hash a41301491e87, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

Siftly 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Siftly

Self-hosted Twitter/X bookmark manager with AI-powered categorization, search, and visualization.

Quick Setup

./start.sh            # installs deps, sets up DB, opens browser

Or manually:

npm install
npx prisma generate && npx prisma db push
npx next dev

App runs at http://localhost:3000

AI Authentication — No API Key Needed

If the user is signed into Claude Code CLI, Siftly uses their Claude subscription automatically. No API key configuration required.

How it works:

lib/claude-cli-auth.ts reads the OAuth token from the macOS keychain (Claude Code-credentials)
Uses authToken + anthropic-beta: oauth-2025-04-20 header in the Anthropic SDK
Falls back to: DB-saved API key → ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var → local proxy

To verify it's working, hit: GET /api/settings/cli-status

Key Commands

npx next dev          # Start dev server (port 3000)
npx tsc --noEmit      # Type check
npx prisma studio     # Database GUI
npx prisma db push    # Apply schema changes to DB
npm run build         # Production build

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.
