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 | $0.00035 | $0.03758 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.01503 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00752 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00376 |
Grade A, and why
cwicr-waste-calculator 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 Waste Calculator
Business Case
Problem Statement
Material estimates need waste factors:
- Cutting/trimming losses
- Spillage and breakage
- Overordering requirements
- Different waste by material type
Solution
Systematic waste calculation using CWICR material data with industry-standard waste factors by material category.
Business Value
- Accurate ordering - Include realistic waste
- Cost control - Budget for actual usage
- Sustainability - Track and reduce waste
- Benchmarking - Compare waste across projects

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-waste-calculator 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 35 tokens to every session and 3,758 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.
