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 | $0.00040 | $0.03894 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.01558 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00779 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00389 |
Grade A, and why
acu-check 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.

/acu-check — Pipeline Health Scanner
Read-only diagnostic skill. Scans all pipelines under pipelines/ and reports structural health relative to the current template set. Never modifies files.
Protocol
Step 1: READ — Load current version
- Read
_templates/VERSIONto get the current template version string. - Read
pipelines/CLAUDE.mdto identify all pipeline directories.
Step 2: SCAN — For each pipeline, run all 22 checks
For each pipeline directory found under pipelines/:
Check 1: Metadata / Version
- Does
.acu-meta.yamlexist at the pipeline root?- Yes: Does
template_versionmatch_templates/VERSION?- Match →
[CURRENT] {version} - Mismatch →
[OUTDATED] {old version} (current: {new version})
- Match →
- No:
[PRE-VERSIONING]— no metadata, generated before Phase 1
- Yes: Does
Check 2: gates/advance.sh exists
- File present →
[PASS] - File absent →
[FAIL]
Check 3: Completion gate exists
- At least one file matching
gate-*-complete.shingates/→[PASS] {filename} - None found →
[FAIL]
Check 4: Stage directory convention
- Count directories at pipeline root matching
^[0-9]+-pattern.- 2 or more →
[PASS] {N} dirs follow {N}-{Name}/ convention - 1 →
[WARN] only 1 stage dir found - 0 → check if pipeline uses an alternative layout (e.g.,
playbooks/):- Alternative layout present →
[WARN] uses non-standard layout ({dirname}/) — not {N}-{Name}/ - Nothing →
[FAIL] no stage directories found
- Alternative layout present →
- 2 or more →
- Note: If
.acu-meta.yamlcontainsstage-dir-naminginknown_deviations, downgrade FAIL/WARN to a suppressed notice.
Check 5: templates/intake.yaml and templates/status.yaml exist
- Both present →
[PASS] intake.yaml, status.yaml present - One missing →
[FAIL] missing {filename} - Both missing →
[FAIL] templates/intake.yaml and templates/status.yaml not found
Check 6: Sample unit directory exists
- Look for any directory matching
001-*or001pattern in the units directory (checkposts/,recipes/,engagements/, or the first{N}-{Name}/dir for a units subdir). - Found →
[PASS] {relative-path}/ - Not found →
[WARN] no sample unit directory found
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.

acu-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository Acquiredl/Acu (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 3,894 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
