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 | $0.00122 | $0.01569 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00061 | $0.00785 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00314 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00157 |
Grade A, and why
rhdh-lifecycle 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 today.
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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
RHDH Local Lifecycle Management
Manage the RHDH Local development environment: start, stop, restart, apply configuration changes, view logs, check status, update, and back up.
Complements the
plugin-managementskill (which covers discovering and configuring plugins). This skill covers container lifecycle and day-to-day operational workflows.
Key Paths
All commands run from the workspace root (the directory containing lab) unless noted otherwise.
| Item | Path |
|---|---|
| Unified CLI | ./lab |
| Backup script | ./backup.sh |
| Environment overrides | rhdh-customizations/.env |
| App config overrides | rhdh-customizations/configs/app-config/app-config.local.yaml |
| Plugin overrides | rhdh-customizations/configs/dynamic-plugins/dynamic-plugins.override.yaml |
| Compose overrides | rhdh-customizations/compose.override.yaml |
Starting RHDH
Use ./lab up. Never use podman compose up directly.
Flag Reference
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
| (none) | Start customized + orchestrator, tail logs |
--baseline |
Pristine RHDH, no customizations, no orchestrator |
--no-logs |
Don't tail logs (return to prompt immediately) |
--pull |
Pull configured service images before startup |
Lightspeed AI chat is always included in RHDH 1.10+. Configure your LLM provider in rhdh-customizations/.env (e.g. ENABLE_VLLM=true for LM Studio, ENABLE_OPENAI=true for OpenAI).
Common Start Commands
# Start everything (customized + orchestrator), tail logs
./lab up
# Start everything, return to prompt immediately
./lab up --no-logs
# Pristine baseline (no customizations, no orchestrator)
./lab up --baseline
# Refresh configured service images during an update
./lab up --pull
Stopping RHDH
Use ./lab down. Never use podman compose down directly.
# Stop all containers, keep volumes (fast restart)
./lab down
# Stop all containers, remove all volumes (clean slate)
./lab down --volumes
What ships with it
1 file 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.

rhdh-lifecycle is a skill published in the GitHub repository benwilcock/rhdh-lab (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 122 tokens to every session and 1,569 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
