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 | $0.00051 | $0.00818 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00327 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00164 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
commit 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 14d 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 — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Commit
Overview
Use this skill when a user asks for a commit or asks how a commit should be written for Pocodex. The goal is to produce a clean, policy-compliant git commit that matches the actual diff and works with release-please.
Workflow
- Inspect the worktree with
git status --shortandgit diff --stat, then read the diff for the files that are actually part of the requested change. - Exclude unrelated user changes. Do not stage or commit files outside the requested scope.
- Run
pnpm run check:commitbefore committing. If it fails, fix the issues or report the blocker instead of committing a broken tree. - Stage only the intended files with
git add <path>.... - Write a Conventional Commit message that accurately describes the staged diff.
- Commit with
git commit. Prefer a single-msubject for small changes, or add a body when the why matters.
Commit Rules
- Use Conventional Commits because
release-pleasederives release notes and version bumps from merged commit history. - Preferred types in this repo:
feat,fix,refactor,docs,test,build,ci,chore. - Use an optional scope when it improves clarity, for example
feat(server): ...orfix(bootstrap): .... - Use the imperative mood in the subject line.
- Keep the subject specific to the staged diff. Do not write broad summaries that cover unstaged work.
- Mark breaking changes with
!in the header and include aBREAKING CHANGE:footer in the body. - Avoid placeholder types such as
update,misc, orchanges.
Message Shape
Use this shape:
type(scope): short summary
Optional explanatory body.
BREAKING CHANGE: required when behavior or API compatibility changes.
Choosing The Type
feat: user-visible behavior or capability addedfix: bug fix or regression fixrefactor: internal restructuring without intended behavior changedocs: README, CONTRIBUTING, skills, or other documentation-only changestest: test-only changesbuild: packaging, dependencies, or build toolingci: GitHub Actions or other automation pipeline changeschore: maintenance that does not fit the above and should not usually trigger a release note highlight
What ships with it
1 file 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.
