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 | $0.00087 | $0.02899 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.01450 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00580 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00290 |
Grade A, and why
freddie-find-simplifications 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 3d 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.
This is a copy
95% identical to dsh-find-simplifications — 31 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Finding Freddie Simplifications
This skill helps turn a broad "find things to simplify" request into evidence-backed Agent Notes that remove or collapse existing harness surface area. It is guidance, not a checklist: follow the code, keep judgment active, and prefer a few well-proven candidates over a pile of thin guesses.
Start With Repo Context
- Read
AGENTS.md, especially the pre-release stance and the conventions (including the Agent Notes-are-not-golden-truth doctrine), plus docs/defensive-patterns.md. - Skim docs/architecture.md before judging anything under
packages/; simplifications that fight the service map or event taxonomy need extra evidence. - Use the Agent Note tree and its rules to understand intentional architecture. The most relevant implemented examples are drop mutable session summary, shared persistence write coordinator, capability seams, and the twin adapter / dual persistence backend Agent Notes.
- Treat dual LLM adapters and dual persistence backends as intentional by default. Do not propose deleting either twin/backend as "low effort" unless the user explicitly overrides that constraint. Removing an unused method or hook inside a protected seam can still be valid if it does not collapse the protected design.
What Counts As A Strong Candidate
A strong simplification removes, folds, or demotes something real and has clear evidence that the current design costs more than it buys:
- A public method, event, config knob, registry notification, helper, package, durable event, or test artifact has no production consumer.
- Tests or docs are the only consumers, and the behavior they pin is not load-bearing.
- Two representations mirror the same fact, especially across durable session events and transient
agent/*events. - A seam has methods every implementation must support but no consumer uses.
- A separate package exists only for test/demo/support code and adds publish or dependency overhead.
- A feature implements speculative product generality: multi-session/session-load, background job rosters, live registry invalidation, mid-turn steering, tool-owned UI rendering, and similar designs with no product owner.
- An invariant, rollback path, set of expected outputs, or special-case test exists only to protect an unused API.
- Hand-rolled code reimplements what a well-maintained external package or a Node builtin at the engine floor already provides, and the swap would delete the implementation plus its dedicated tests (dependency policy).
- The simplified behavior may differ slightly, but the new behavior is still reasonable and easier to explain.
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.
