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 | $0.00102 | $0.00472 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00189 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
scaffold-nodejs-express 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
Scaffold Node + Express Project (claudeforge)
Follow the master prompt at backend/nodejs-express/PROMPT.md. Steps:
- Confirm parameters:
project_name,project_slug(kebab-case),db_name,api_port, ORM choice (default Drizzle), include flags for BullMQ / auth / OTel. - Read
backend/nodejs-express/PROMPT.md— directory tree, deps, key files (package.json, env, app.ts, server.ts, routes.ts, error handler, lib/errors, async-handler, factory pattern for users module). - Read deep-dives as needed:
01-project-layout.md— factory function pattern, no DI container02-drizzle-and-migrations.md— schema + queries03-validation-with-zod.md04-auth-jwt.md(if include_auth) — hand-rolled, no Passport05-bullmq-workers.md(if include_bullmq)06-testing-vitest-supertest.md
- Generate: scaffold tree,
package.jsonwith locked deps, db client + schema, app factory, server bootstrap with graceful shutdown, Users module (factory functions: repository → service → controller → router), error handler, auth middleware if requested, BullMQ workers if requested. - Verify:
pnpm install,pnpm db:generate && pnpm db:migrate,pnpm test,pnpm lint— clean. - Hand off: setup steps.
Enforce the factory pattern strictly — no top-level singletons, no DI containers, no utils/ junk drawer.
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.
