What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00014 | $0.00591 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00296 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00118 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00059 |
Grade A, and why
aget-assess-tradeoffs 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 12d 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 — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
aget-assess-tradeoffs
Analyze trade-offs between competing concerns and quality attributes. Provides structured decision support for architectural choices.
Instructions
When this skill is invoked:
-
Identify Competing Concerns
- List quality attributes in tension
- Document the options being considered
- Note constraints and context
-
Evaluate Options
- Rate each option against each quality attribute
- Use consistent scale (1-5 or Low/Med/High)
- Consider both immediate and long-term effects
-
Assess Reversibility
- Classify decisions: One-way door vs. Two-way door
- Note cost of changing later
- Identify lock-in risks
-
Formulate Recommendation
- Provide clear recommendation
- Explain trade-off resolution rationale
- Document rejected alternatives
Output Format
## Trade-off Analysis: [Decision Topic]
### Context
[What decision needs to be made and why]
### Competing Concerns
| Quality Attribute | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|-------------------|:--------:|:--------:|:--------:|
| Performance | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | ⭐ |
| Maintainability | ⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ |
| Cost | ⭐⭐ | ⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Time to Market | ⭐ | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ |
### Reversibility Assessment
| Option | Reversibility | Cost to Change | Lock-in Risk |
|--------|---------------|----------------|--------------|
| A | Low | High | Significant |
| B | High | Low | Minimal |
| C | Medium | Medium | Moderate |
### Recommendation
**Choose**: [Option X]
**Rationale**: [Why this trade-off resolution is appropriate given context]
**What We're Trading**: [Quality we're deprioritizing] for [Quality we're prioritizing]
### Rejected Alternatives
| Option | Why Rejected |
|--------|--------------|
| [Option Y] | [Specific reason] |
### Conditions for Revisiting
- Revisit if: [Condition that would change the analysis]
Constraints
- C1: NEVER pretend trade-offs don't exist — architectural honesty requires acknowledging costs
- C2: NEVER recommend without explaining trade-off resolution — recommendations need justification
- C3: NEVER treat all quality attributes as equally important — context determines priority
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.

aget-assess-tradeoffs is a skill published in the GitHub repository aget-framework/aget (11 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 591 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
