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 | $0.00038 | $0.01560 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00780 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00312 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00156 |
Grade A, and why
cost-optimization 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 12d 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.
This is a copy
91% identical to cost-optimization — 30 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Cloud Cost Optimization
Strategies and patterns for optimizing cloud costs across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Purpose
Implement systematic cost optimization strategies to reduce cloud spending while maintaining performance and reliability.
When to Use
- Reduce cloud spending
- Right-size resources
- Implement cost governance
- Optimize multi-cloud costs
- Meet budget constraints
Cost Optimization Framework
1. Visibility
- Implement cost allocation tags
- Use cloud cost management tools
- Set up budget alerts
- Create cost dashboards
2. Right-Sizing
- Analyze resource utilization
- Downsize over-provisioned resources
- Use auto-scaling
- Remove idle resources
3. Pricing Models
- Use reserved capacity
- Leverage spot/preemptible instances
- Implement savings plans
- Use committed use discounts
4. Architecture Optimization
- Use managed services
- Implement caching
- Optimize data transfer
- Use lifecycle policies
AWS Cost Optimization
Reserved Instances
Savings: 30-72% vs On-Demand
Term: 1 or 3 years
Payment: All/Partial/No upfront
Flexibility: Standard or Convertible
Savings Plans
Compute Savings Plans: 66% savings
EC2 Instance Savings Plans: 72% savings
Applies to: EC2, Fargate, Lambda
Flexible across: Instance families, regions, OS
Spot Instances
Savings: Up to 90% vs On-Demand
Best for: Batch jobs, CI/CD, stateless workloads
Risk: 2-minute interruption notice
Strategy: Mix with On-Demand for resilience
S3 Cost Optimization

}

storage_class = "GLACIER"
}

}
}
Azure Cost Optimization
Reserved VM Instances
- 1 or 3 year terms
- Up to 72% savings
- Flexible sizing
- Exchangeable
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.

cost-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository CGSOG-JumpStarts/JumpStart-AutoNav (10 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,560 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to cost-optimization, differing in 30 lines, and is treated as a copy.
