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 | $0.00069 | $0.01279 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00512 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00256 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00128 |
Grade A, and why
newsletter-assembly 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.

Newsletter Assembly
Assemble Phase 3 curated sections and Phase 2 events into a complete newsletter.
Quick Start
- Read Phase 3 curated sections from
workspace/newsletter_phase3_curated_sections_*.md - Read Phase 2 events from
workspace/newsletter_phase2_events_*.md - Create introduction with 2-3 key highlights
- Assemble sections in mandatory order
- Add standard closing, changelog links, YouTube playlists
- Enforce heading structure and density targets for long windows
- Write output to
output/YYYY-MM_month_newsletter.md
Inputs
- Phase 3 Curated Sections:
workspace/newsletter_phase3_curated_sections_*.md(required) - Phase 2 Events:
workspace/newsletter_phase2_events_*.md(required)
Output
- File:
output/YYYY-MM_month_newsletter.md - Complete newsletter ready for distribution
Core Workflow
Step 1: Create Introduction
Use the standard template with 2-3 dynamic highlights:
This is a personally curated newsletter for my customers, focused on the most
relevant updates and resources from GitHub this month. Highlights for this month
include [2-3 key highlights]. If you have any feedback or want to dive deeper
into any topic, please let me know. Feel free to share this newsletter with
others on your team as well. You can find an archive of past newsletters
[here](https://github.com/briancl2/CustomerNewsletter).
Select highlights from the most impactful GA features or major enterprise announcements in the curated sections.
Step 2: Assemble in Mandatory Order
See section-ordering.md for the required section sequence.
- Introduction (with highlights)
- Monthly Announcement / Lead Section (if present in Phase 3)
- Copilot (mandatory heading shape:
# Copilotwith## Latest Releases, plus Copilot at Scale with changelogs) - Enterprise and Security Updates (H1 for Feb benchmark-style runs)
- Resources and Best Practices (H1 when sources exist)
- Webinars, Events, and Recordings (H1, with H2 subheadings from Phase 2)
- Closing
What ships with it
5 files 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.
