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 | $0.00019 | $0.00178 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00071 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00036 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00018 |
Grade A, and why
handoff 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 1mo 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
88% identical to handoff — 4 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.
What it actually says
Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save to the temporary directory of the user's OS - not the current workspace.
Include a "suggested skills" section in the document, which suggests skills that the agent should invoke.
Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.
Redact any sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, or personally identifiable information.
If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.
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.

handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository ctxpipe-ai/ctxpipe (27 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 178 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to handoff, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
setup-open-index
Install and configure Open Index as the read/write context layer for a domain-specialized agent. Use when setting up a legal, marketing, customer support, sales, infrastructure, or other domain agent with Open Index over MCP.
edit-brain
How to add or edit knowledge in this brain — define doctypes, add or update entities, and correlate them with relationships. Use whenever the user asks to add/update knowledge, define a concept, record a learning, or link two things in the brain.
bootstrap-llm-synthesis
Construct the LLM synthesis prompt from project surface scan + optional tree-sitter context + optional Q&A answers. Call the LLM. Parse and validate the response into 6-8 structured memory entries with clarity tags and source traceability. Used as Stage 3 of the /gaai:bootstrap pipeline.
memory-reconcile
Scan all memory files, documentation (/docs//.md), and README files (/README.md) for drift, contradictions, and stale references. Produce a reconciliation report for Discovery to action. Activate on demand or via cron.
memory-archive-superseded
Migrate a superseded DEC's index rows from active index.md to archive/superseded-decisions.archive.md. Idempotent. Discovery-only — never invoked by daemon delivery. Updates DEC frontmatter as canonical source of truth.
memory-delta-triage
Apply three deterministic heuristics to a single memory-delta file to produce a structured verdict block; invoke memory-ingest on ACCEPTED candidates only in validate mode. Activate when Discovery processes a raw memory-delta from contexts/artefacts/memory-deltas/.
