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.

Fable 5.1 $0.01047 $0.01047
Opus 5.5 $0.00419 $0.00419

Security

Grade A, and why

vibes 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.

Agentic Prompting Techniques

1. Multi-Step Planning

Claude excels at breaking down complex tasks:

claude "I need to implement user authentication. First, create a plan with all the necessary steps."

2. Code Analysis and Refactoring

Leverage Claude's code understanding:

claude "Analyze this codebase structure and suggest architectural improvements: [paste code or file paths]"

3. Interactive Development

Build solutions iteratively:

claude "Start building a React component for user profiles. Begin with the basic structure."
# Then: "Add form validation to the profile component"
# Then: "Add state management with useReducer"

4. Documentation Generation

Claude is excellent at creating comprehensive docs:

claude "Generate API documentation for this Express.js router: [code]"

5. Test-Driven Development

Use Claude to guide TDD workflows:

claude "Write failing tests for a user authentication service, then implement the service to make them pass"

Advanced Techniques

System Thinking

claude "Think like a system architect. How would you design a scalable microservices architecture for an e-commerce platform?"

Code Review Partner

claude "Act as a senior code reviewer. What potential issues do you see in this implementation? Consider security, performance, and maintainability."

Debugging Assistant

claude "I'm getting this error: [error message]. Here's my code: [code]. Walk me through debugging this step by step."

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.
