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 | $0.00056 | $0.00724 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00362 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
tachi-shared 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 3d 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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tachi Shared References
Cross-cutting domain knowledge consumed by multiple tachi agents. These reference files are the canonical source of truth for definitions that appear across the pipeline -- severity bands, STRIDE+AI threat categories, and finding format conventions. Individual agents load specific references on-demand using the Read tool rather than duplicating definitions inline.
Domain Coverage
This skill contains four shared reference files:
-
Severity Bands -- Composite score thresholds, severity band boundaries, color codes, SLA mappings, disposition defaults, and review date calculations. Used everywhere severity classification drives decisions.
-
STRIDE+AI Categories -- All 11 threat categories (6 STRIDE + 5 AI) with descriptions, ID prefixes, OWASP references, and the DFD element-to-category applicability matrix that determines which categories apply to which component types.
-
Finding Format -- The finding intermediate representation (IR) specification: required fields, optional fields, ID format conventions, validation rules, and table output format. Defines the contract between threat agents (producers) and downstream consumers.
-
MAESTRO Layers -- CSA MAESTRO seven-layer taxonomy definitions for agentic AI architectures: layer identifiers (L1-L7), descriptions, keyword-to-layer mappings, and the classification algorithm (first-match-wins, "Unclassified" default). Used during Phase 1 to classify components by architectural layer.

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.

tachi-shared is a skill published in the GitHub repository davidmatousek/tachi (90 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 724 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
