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 | $0.00079 | $0.01620 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00810 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00324 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00162 |
Grade D, and why
cross-machine-fetch scanned grade D 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 7d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
2. **Tailscale SSH** — optional: `sudo tailscale set --ssh` only when CLI and GUI share the same daemon. Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation
SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.
BatchMode (agent) fetches need a **pubkey** in the peer’s `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`. Password prompts will fail under BatchMode. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cross-machine fetch (Tailscale / Remote Login SSH)
When to use
- User gives an absolute path under
/Users/louisreid/...but the agent runs on the Mini (roundtableopenclaw) - Local
lsfails with “No such file” for Downloads CSVs/PDFs that Louis just exported on the Air - User asks to SSH to the MacBook / Air and pull files
Do not invent file contents. Fetch or ask — never fake bank/CSV data.
Machine map (bidirectional)
| Role | Tailscale / Host alias | Typical IP | SSH user | Home |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini (agents often here) | roundtableopenclaw / mini |
100.84.168.56 |
roundtableopenclaw |
/Users/roundtableopenclaw |
| MacBook Air (Louis daily) | louiss-macbook-air / air |

Resolve live: tailscale status (prefer MagicDNS name over hardcoding the IP).
Preferred auth
- macOS Remote Login (classic SSH on port 22) — preferred when Tailscale CLI/daemon versions disagree. System Settings → General → Sharing → Remote Login → On (allow the peer user).
- Tailscale SSH — optional:
sudo tailscale set --sshonly when CLI and GUI share the same daemon.
BatchMode (agent) fetches need a pubkey in the peer’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Password prompts will fail under BatchMode.
Identity files
| Direction | Client | Key to offer | Where it must be authorized |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini → Air | Mini | ~/.ssh/reid-finance-deploy (ed25519) |
Air: ~louisreid/.ssh/authorized_keys |
| Air → Mini | Air | Louis’s Mac key (matches Mini authorized_keys) |
Mini: ~roundtableopenclaw/.ssh/authorized_keys |
SSH config Host aliases (install script / manual):

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.

cross-machine-fetch is a skill published in the GitHub repository Coefficient-work/mcp-doctor (0 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 1,620 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (asks for root, reaches for credential files). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
