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 | $0.00057 | $0.01741 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00696 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00348 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00174 |
Grade A, and why
freddie-prose-standard 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.
This is a copy
84% identical to dsh-prose-standard — 16 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Freddie Prose Standard
Write enough to preserve the contract, then remove reasoning transcripts, repetition, and decoration. A contract is an obligation, invariant, precondition, postcondition, or compatibility promise that a caller, callee, implementer, producer, or consumer relies on. This skill owns editorial judgment and required prose coverage; use freddie-doc-standards for placement, budgets, and documentation gates, and freddie-trim-cot-leakage for hunting and fixing reasoning-transcript leakage. It is guidance, not a script.
Treat contract, boundary, shape, surface, seam, gate, and vocabulary as terms to check before use, not banned words. First ask whether the exact rule, API, field set, type, validation, timing point, component split, or failure states the fact better. Keep a term when it names the exact technical subject, including caller/callee contracts and security/process boundaries.
Comments describe non-obvious contracts or rationale that code cannot express; they do not restate what code already implies.
Inputs and exclusions
Require an explicit scope. If it is missing, report the required input and stop; do not infer a repository-wide scope or begin an interview.
Accept mode: automatic | interactive; default to automatic. Enter interactive mode only when the user explicitly requests questions or calibration.
mode controls questions, not write authority. Review and audit tasks report findings without editing; explicitly requested write, fix, or trim tasks apply clear changes.
framework/ is first-party prose and is in scope like any other directory; it is not excluded. Its packages descend from upstream projects but are maintained here, so their docs are ours to hold to this standard. The one exception is the LICENSE file in each package directory, which is a legal artifact preserved verbatim and never edited.
Also exclude .agents/notes/archived/ from prose review and edits. Archived Agent Notes are frozen snapshots; inspect an exact target only to understand a historical inbound citation, never to modernize its prose or outbound links.
What ships with it
2 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.

freddie-prose-standard is a skill published in the GitHub repository AnEntrypoint/freddie (1 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,741 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 84% identical to dsh-prose-standard, differing in 16 lines, and is treated as a copy.
