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 | $0.00104 | $0.01981 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00052 | $0.00991 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00396 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00198 |
Grade A, and why
close-backlog-rows 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Close Backlog Rows
You close rows in ai_docs/backlog.md atomically by id. Non-destructive per-row verification, one updated_at bump at the end, structured per-band decrement report.
This skill does not query GitHub, pick the next rows to close, or edit any other file (state.json, plan.md, CHANGELOG.md, worktree state). It is a bookkeeping primitive for backlog closures.
Why this exists
ai_docs/backlog.md stores each row as a single long markdown table line (1500+ chars). When an agent tries to verify a row's content via Grep before Edit-ing, the [Omitted long matching line] truncation makes the context view unusable. The workaround is Read at a specific offset + limit: 1 per row — that costs 3 tool calls per row (Grep + Read + Edit) for a mechanical delete. Batch reconciles close 2-6 rows at a time; the overhead is meaningful.
This skill compresses the per-row dance into a single call.
Input
$ARGUMENTS is a comma-separated list of row ids (kebab-case, matching the id field of rows in ai_docs/backlog.md). Whitespace around commas is tolerated. Ids must match existing rows exactly — the skill refuses on unknown ids rather than guess.
Example: /close-backlog-rows position-probe-for-test-fixture-authoring, pragma-directive-scope-manipulation
Preconditions (HARD GATES — refuse if any fail)
ai_docs/backlog.mdexists at the repo root. If missing, refuse:"No ai_docs/backlog.md at repo root. Are you in the right repository?".- At least one row id supplied — empty
$ARGUMENTSrefuses with usage text. - Working tree is clean on
ai_docs/backlog.md(no unstaged edits), OR the only unstaged path on it is the exact set of rows this skill is about to remove. If dirtier, refuse:"ai_docs/backlog.md has unrelated unstaged edits — commit or stash before closing rows.". - Each supplied id resolves to exactly ONE row — zero matches → refuse with the unknown id; two or more matches → refuse with the line numbers (indicates duplicate rows, a separate bug).
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.

close-backlog-rows is a skill published in the GitHub repository darylmcd/Roslyn-Backed-MCP (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 1,981 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
