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 | $0.00041 | $0.01920 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00960 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00384 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00192 |
Grade B, and why
linkerd-patterns scanned grade B with 2 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.
Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain
curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://run.linkerd.io/install | sh Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

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

84% identical to linkerd-patterns — 6 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.

Linkerd Patterns
Production patterns for Linkerd service mesh - the lightweight, security-first service mesh for Kubernetes.
When to Use This Skill
- Setting up a lightweight service mesh
- Implementing automatic mTLS
- Configuring traffic splits for canary deployments
- Setting up service profiles for per-route metrics
- Implementing retries and timeouts
- Multi-cluster service mesh

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.

linkerd-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository CGSOG-JumpStarts/JumpStart-AutoNav (10 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,920 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 84% identical to linkerd-patterns, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
