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 | $0.00033 | $0.03474 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.01390 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00695 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00347 |
Grade A, and why
cwicr-rate-updater 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.

CWICR Rate Updater
Business Case
Problem Statement
Resource rates become outdated:
- Material prices fluctuate with market
- Labor rates change annually
- Equipment costs vary by region
- Historical rates need adjustment
Solution
Systematic rate updates integrating market data, inflation indices, and regional factors while maintaining audit trail.
Business Value
- Accuracy - Current market pricing
- Flexibility - Update specific resources or categories
- Audit trail - Track rate changes over time
- Automation - Integrate with price APIs

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-rate-updater is a skill published in the GitHub repository datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction (373 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 3,474 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
