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 | $0.01004 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00502 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00201 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00100 |
Grade A, and why
add-heartbeat scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Add Heartbeat
Adds a periodic heartbeat that wakes the agent on a cron schedule, runs through a checklist of cheap checks, and only messages the user if something needs attention.
What it does
- Creates
groups/main/HEARTBEAT.mdwith a template checklist - Registers a scheduled task that runs the heartbeat on a cron (default: every 30 minutes)
- The agent reads the checklist, runs each check, and stays silent if everything is fine
Setup
1. Create HEARTBEAT.md (if not exists)
Check if groups/main/HEARTBEAT.md exists. If not, create it with this template:
# Heartbeat Checks
Run these checks silently. Only message the user if something actually needs their attention.
## Checks
### 1. Error Log
\`\`\`bash
tail -20 ~/nanoclaw/logs/errors.log
\`\`\`
- Each line is JSON with a `"time"` field (Unix ms).
- Calculate cutoff: `Date.now() - (35 * 60 * 1000)`.
- **Ignore** any entry where `time < cutoff`. Don't mention ignored entries at all.
- If the file is empty or all entries are old, this check passes silently.
- If recent errors exist, summarise the actual problem in one line.
### 2. Runaway Processes
\`\`\`bash
ps aux -r | head -5
\`\`\`
- Check if any process is using >90% CPU.
- Chrome/agent-browser processes that have been running for hours are zombies — kill them:
\`\`\`bash
pkill -9 -f "agent-browser-chrome"
\`\`\`
- Alert the user: "Killed zombie Chrome process (was using X% CPU)."
- Also check load average (`uptime`). If load >4, mention it.
### 3. Disk Space
\`\`\`bash
df -h /
\`\`\`
- Alert if usage >80%. State the percentage and partition.
## Rules
- **Silent by default.** If everything is fine: `<internal>All checks passed</internal>` — nothing else.
- **Never explain your reasoning.** Just do the checks and report problems.
- **Never report old/filtered entries.** If an entry is too old, pretend it doesn't exist.
- When alerting, state the problem in plain English, one or two lines max.
- Don't repeat alerts already visible in recent conversation history.
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.

add-heartbeat is a skill published in the GitHub repository b1rdmania/ghostclaw (92 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,004 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
