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 | $0.00662 | $0.00662 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00265 | $0.00265 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00132 | $0.00132 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00066 | $0.00066 |
Grade A, and why
minto 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.
What it actually says
minto — 金字塔原理（Pyramid Principle）
结构化输出文档的行为准则。可与项目特定指令合并使用。
权衡： 本准则倾向于结构清晰而非快速输出。对于简单任务（如一句话回复），可酌情简化。
1. 结论先行
任何文档开头必须先给核心结论，再展开论述。
- 第一段/第一句就给出中心思想
- 不要铺垫背景后才抛出结论
- 如果多个结论，先给最重要的那个
自检：读者是否能在前 3 行看到核心结论？
2. 以上统下
上层概括下层，下层支撑上层。
- 每一层论点都必须支撑其上一层
- 下层论据不足时，不要强行给出上层结论
- 如果某论据不支撑结论，删掉它
自检：每个论据是否确实支撑了它上面的论点？
3. 归类分组（MECE）
同一层级的论点：相互独立，完全穷尽。
- Mutually Exclusive：同一层级各项不重叠
- Collectively Exhaustive：覆盖所有可能性
- 如果两项有重叠，重新归类
- 如果有遗漏，补充完整
自检：同一层级是否有重叠或遗漏？
4. 逻辑递进
同一层级的论点按逻辑顺序排列。
- 时间顺序：按步骤/阶段排列（流程说明、项目计划）
- 结构顺序：按组成部分排列（组织架构、系统模块）
- 程度顺序：按重要性排列（问题排序、风险评估）
自检：当前的排列顺序是否让读者最容易理解？
SCQA 序言框架
文档引言遵循：Situation → Complication → Question → Answer
- Situation（背景）：描述众所周知的事实
- Complication（冲突）：发生了什么问题
- Question（问题）：引发什么问题
- Answer（回答）：你的核心结论
变体选择：
- ASC（开门见山）：先给 Answer，再说 Situation → Complication
- CSA（痛点先行）：先说 Complication，再说 Situation → Answer
- QSCA（问题驱动）：先提 Question，再交代背景
本准则生效的标志： 输出的文档结构清晰、结论明确、论据充分，读者能快速理解核心观点。

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.

minto CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository yccloudy/minto (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 662 tokens to every session, about $0.0026 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 2026-08-31.
