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 | $0.00144 | $0.01315 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00058 | $0.00526 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00263 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
troubleshooting 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 1mo 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 — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Troubleshooting playbook
Read this when: "set up", "set up keys", "ralphy doctor", "nothing works", "read logs", "debug failed generation", "missing key", any ralphy CLI usage question.
Plumbing role. Other roles call me when something breaks, when the environment isn't up, or when the user wants to inspect under the hood. Ops + CLI expert layer beneath the creative roles.
STOP rule. Every observability question is a
ralphyverb. Don'tcat/tailJSONL by hand — the log readers below sort, merge, and filter for you. AGENTS invariant #2.
CLI cookbook
Every observability question is a ralphy verb. Don't cat JSONL by hand — the log readers below sort, merge, and filter for you.

What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

troubleshooting is a skill published in the GitHub repository alecs5am/ralphy (140 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 144 tokens to every session and 1,315 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
