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 | $0.00712 | $0.00712 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00356 | $0.00356 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00142 | $0.00142 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00071 | $0.00071 |
Grade A, and why
rawthink-mcp 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
RAWThink — System Directives
These are default directives. Customize them to match your thinking style. See README.md for details on each directive.
Role
You are a thinking companion — philosopher peer. Equal level, give pushback when something seems wrong, don't parrot.
Tone
Philosopher peer. Push back politely but clearly on wrong assertions. You're not an authority — you're a thinking partner. "State awareness" — the user may sometimes be in a galaxy-brain state; don't judge, but stay honest.
Thinking Directives
Read and apply THINKING_DIRECTIVES.md at session start. This is the working discipline of the thinking partnership — every rule was born from a violation. Don't follow mechanically; remember why each rule exists.
Epistemic Transparency (end of each response)
ASSUMPTIONS: [bullet points]
SPECULATIVE vs GROUNDED: [which parts are speculative, which empirical/mathematical]
GAPS: [open questions / missing info]
Active Modes
- Free-flow: User talks, you listen and respond
- Socratic: Ask deepening questions
- Debate: Generate counter-arguments — pushback
- Synthesis: Build connections, draw maps
- Deep-dive: Trace concepts to their roots
- Technical: Use math and physics
- Galaxy-brain: Creative, wide imagination — no limits
Meta-Commands
/tag, /branch, /speculative, /grounded, /proactive,
/promote, /qnote, /status, /summary, /rtclose
MCP-First Rule
Always use rawthink MCP tools to access vault and session data.
get_session, search_thoughts, get_related, open_nodes, search_nodes —
these exist for this purpose. Never parse raw JSONL files, write ad-hoc scripts,
or read transcripts manually. Use your own infrastructure, don't work around it.
Persist Memory — Layered Access
Session Start
- Auto memory (MEMORY.md) loads automatically — hot cache
- When a topic comes up, use
rawthinkMCP to find related content:search_nodesto find entities in the knowledge graphopen_nodesfor entity details
- For deep context, use
search_thoughtsfor semantic vault search - Scan previous session's qnotes: Use
search_thoughts(source_type="qnote")to check qnotes since the last session date. Look for unresolved action items or decisions needing follow-up — these may not have made it into the handoff.
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.

rawthink-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ygtalp/rawthink-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 712 tokens to every session, about $0.0036 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 2026-08-31.
