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 | $0.01336 | $0.01336 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00534 | $0.00534 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00267 | $0.00267 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00134 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
MiniClaude 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.

Architecture
This is a dual-process local AI agent system. mini-core is a persistent daemon; mini and mini-tui are clients that connect to it over a Unix domain socket.
mini-core (daemon)
└─ listens on 127.0.0.1:7437 (TCP)
↑ JSON-RPC 2.0 NDJSON
mini (CLI) mini-tui (TUI, S2+)
mini-tui is the primary frontend. All user-facing work on task management, observability, and interaction should be designed for and validated in the TUI first. The mini CLI exists only for quick scripted testing and debugging — it is not a product surface. When implementing features that touch the user interface, invest in the TUI layout, event rendering, and keyboard interactions. Do not shortcut TUI work by pointing to the CLI as an alternative.
Protocol layer (src/mini_claude/core/bus/)
All IPC messages are typed pydantic v2 models with a discriminated union on the type field. This is the contract boundary — adding a new command or event means adding a new model class to commands.py or events.py and extending the Command/Event union.
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.

MiniClaude CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository zmylol/MiniClaude (51 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,336 tokens to every session, about $0.0053 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 2026-08-30.
