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 | $0.00087 | $0.06085 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00035 | $0.02434 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.01217 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00609 |
Grade A, and why
managing-pull-requests 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 6d 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.

Managing Pull Requests
Covers pull request titles, descriptions, squash merges, how to tell when automated reviewers have approved a pull request, and how to reply to and resolve review threads.
Pre-PR cross-model adversarial review
Before creating a pull request, complete an independent adversarial review with a model different from the primary coder's underlying model. Select the reviewer by model, not by harness or product name:
- Identify the model used for the primary work and select a different model for the reviewer. For example, use Claude Sonnet to review work by a GPT model, or a GPT model to review work by Claude. Verify the underlying models differ, even when using different harnesses.
- Determine the actual PR target/base branch from the intended target and repository guidance. Fetch that branch and review the proposed diff against
origin/<base>(for example,git diff origin/<base>...HEAD), not an assumedmain. Include any uncommitted changes intended for the PR. - Start an independent reviewer session using an available harness. Give it the repository, actual base, exact proposed changes, and read-only review scope. Ensure the reviewer can access the exact checkout and all intended changes. If it runs remotely, transfer unpushed changes or use a runner with access to the checkout. If the review is running in Amp, use Amp's independent reviewer threads, not a local shell script. Give the reviewer the repository, actual base, exact proposed changes, and read-only review scope. A separate orb cannot see local commits or edits: transfer unpushed changes with Amp's file-transfer tools, or use a runner that can access the exact checkout, before starting the review.
- For Claude reviews, use Claude Sonnet. Do not substitute Opus unless the user explicitly requests it. In Amp, discover available modes and use an independent native API-backed reviewer thread with
agent_mode: "anthropic/claude-sonnet", notexternal-agent:claude-code, which requires an active Claude subscription. Do not pass external-agentmodel:oreffort:feature flags to native modes. Amp's current thread-creation interface exposes no separate native Sonnet effort setting, so use its default. For other harnesses, prefer medium effort when supported. Verify supported effort configuration before setting it rather than inventing a parameter. - For other reviewers, discover the available models and confirm the selected model differs from the primary coder's model. Preserve the same review scope and output expectations.
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.

managing-pull-requests is a skill published in the GitHub repository br3ndonland/dotfiles (86 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 6,085 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-11-01.
