What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.03522 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.01761 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00704 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00352 |
Grade A, and why
cwicr-data-loader 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 11d 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.

CWICR Data Loader
Business Case
Problem Statement
DDC CWICR database is distributed in multiple formats:
- Apache Parquet (optimized for analytics)
- Excel workbooks (human-readable)
- CSV files (universal exchange)
- Qdrant snapshots (vector search)
Applications need unified data access regardless of source format.
Solution
Universal data loader supporting all CWICR formats with automatic schema detection, validation, and pandas DataFrame conversion.
Business Value
- Format agnostic - Load from any CWICR distribution
- Validated data - Automatic schema validation
- Memory efficient - Lazy loading for large datasets
- Type-safe - Proper data types preserved
Technical Implementation

What ships with it
2 files 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.

cwicr-data-loader is a skill published in the GitHub repository datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction (308 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 3,522 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
