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 | $0.03543 | $0.03543 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01417 | $0.01417 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00709 | $0.00709 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00354 | $0.00354 |
Grade A, and why
cut-as-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 21d 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.

What this repo is
cut-as-code is a stack of agentic video-editing skills plus its local Editor Plugin and
browser UI. Each directory under skills/<name>/ is a self-contained skill: a SKILL.md
(the agent playbook — read it first), plus scripts/, examples/, and reference/.
Plugin runtime code lives under .codex-plugin/, runtime/, and ui/; the
stable desktop bootstrap lives under launcher/. There is no root build, package manifest,
lint config, or aggregate test suite. Scripts and checks run ad hoc. When you change a skill,
the SKILL.md is the spec; keep it and its scripts in sync.
Each SKILL.md starts with YAML frontmatter (name:, description:) — the name is the
slash-command trigger for that skill.

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.
