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 | $0.00036 | $0.00877 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00351 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00175 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00088 |
Grade A, and why
dependency-governance 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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dependency Governance Skill
Activate this skill before installing, proposing, or upgrading any external package (/dependency-check <package> or tailor dependencies --check <package>).
Operational Directive: Every external package is a liability in security, bundle size, and maintenance. Treat additions as exceptional.
1. Automated Rejection Table for Trivial Micro-Packages
Always reject external packages for operations natively supported by standard language primitives:
| Proposed Package | Recommendation | Preferred Native Alternative |
|---|---|---|
is-odd / is-even |
REJECT | (n % 2 !== 0) / (n % 2 === 0) |
left-pad / pad |
REJECT | String.prototype.padStart() |
is-number / is-string |
REJECT | typeof x === 'number' / typeof x === 'string' |
clone-deep / lodash.clonedeep |
REJECT | structuredClone(obj) |
deepmerge / object-assign |
REJECT | Object spread { ...a, ...b } or small typed helper |
is-promise |
REJECT | Boolean(x && typeof x.then === 'function') |
array-flatten |
REJECT | Array.prototype.flat(Infinity) |
2. Redundancy & Modern Alternative Checks
| Proposed Package | Check Existing In Workspace | Modern Framework Alternative |
|---|---|---|
axios |
Check if got, node-fetch, or native fetch exists |
Native global fetch() |
moment |
Check if date-fns, dayjs, or luxon exists |
date-fns or Intl.DateTimeFormat |
uuid |
Check if nanoid or cuid exists |
crypto.randomUUID() |
crypto-js |
Check if native crypto exists |
node:crypto or Web Crypto API |
3. Supply-Chain Security & License Matrix
Before approving any non-trivial package, verify:
- Security Vulnerabilities: Run
npm audit,pip-audit, orcargo audit. - Maintenance Activity: Confirm active commits and releases within the past 12 months.
- License Classification:
- Permissive (Approved):
MIT,Apache-2.0,BSD-2-Clause,BSD-3-Clause,ISC,0BSD,CC0-1.0. - Copyleft (Requires Review):
GPL-2.0,GPL-3.0,AGPL-3.0,SSPL,LGPL-3.0.
- Permissive (Approved):
- Documentation: Record confirmed packages in
.ai/DEPENDENCIES.md.
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.

dependency-governance is a skill published in the GitHub repository AmanKtyr/Tailor (6 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 877 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.

autoreview
Structured code review through the shared OpenClaw agent-skills installation.
omh-code-review
This is an OMH code-review workflow skill, projected for Agent Skills hosts (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, OpenClaw, pi).
revdiff-plan
Review the last Codex assistant message (plan, analysis, or proposal) with inline annotations in a TUI overlay. Extracts the most recent response from Codex rollout files and opens it in revdiff for review and annotation. Activates on "revdiff-plan", "review plan with revdiff", "annotate plan", "review last response"…
explore-unknowns
Guide the user through a quadrant walk that maps the unknowns of a task — open by listing the known knowns, then work through known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns one stage at a time, ending with a complete four-quadrant map in the user's hands. Use when a request is ambiguous or underspecified, the…
re0-merge
Review and land an external contribution the way this suite does: gate it against the thesis, land it with the author's credit intact, complete a new skill rather than merging it raw, then approve, credit, and explain before closing. Use when reviewing a pull request, as any collaborator or maintainer, not only the…
