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 | $0.00034 | $0.03331 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.01665 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00666 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00333 |
Grade A, and why
cwicr-historical-cost 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 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.
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 Historical Cost Tracker
Business Case
Problem Statement
Improving estimates requires:
- Actual cost feedback
- Historical comparisons
- Trend analysis
- Lessons learned
Solution
Track actual costs against CWICR estimates, build historical database, and use data to improve future estimating accuracy.
Business Value
- Accuracy improvement - Learn from actuals
- Benchmarking - Project comparisons
- Trend analysis - Cost movement patterns
- Organizational knowledge - Cost database

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-historical-cost is a skill published in the GitHub repository datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction (310 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 3,331 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.
