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 | $0.00053 | $0.00358 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00179 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00072 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
conventional-commits 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 8d 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
Conventional Commits
When creating any git commit in this repository, follow the project's commit convention.
Unlike the /commit command (which the user invokes explicitly), this skill applies
automatically whenever a commit message is being authored.
Format
Single-line, when a GitHub issue applies:
<type>: (#<issue_number>) <issue_name> - <description>.
Single-line, when no GitHub issue applies:
<type>: <description>.
Multiline, when the change spans multiple concerns:
<type>: (#<issue_number>) <issue_name>:
- <description_line_1>.
- <description_line_2>.
Rules
<type>is exactly one of:New feature,Fix issue,Other.- Single-line messages end with
.; the first line of a multiline message ends with:. - Every bullet starts with
-and ends with.. - Use present tense, imperative mood ("add feature", not "added feature").
- Keep commits atomic — one logical concern per commit. Split unrelated changes into separate commits.
- NEVER add trailers such as "Generated with Claude Code", author info, or co-author lines.

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.

conventional-commits is a skill published in the GitHub repository awattar/claude-code-best-practices (251 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 358 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
