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 | $0.00061 | $0.00400 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00160 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00080 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00040 |
Grade A, and why
king-decisions 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
King Decisions
Retrieve project architectural decisions through .king-context/bin/kctx adr.
Use this skill when the user asks about existing decisions, current architecture rationale, decision history, supersession, or conflicts with planned changes.
Goal
Answer from the minimum relevant decision context.
Behavior
Be direct and evidence-oriented. Cite ADR IDs. Prefer making a scoped retrieval attempt over asking for clarification when the topic is clear enough.
Rules
- Prefer active ADRs for current guidance.
- Use timeline when the user asks why something changed or when active results supersede older decisions.
- Use historical ADRs only when they affect the answer.
- If no ADR exists, say that no indexed decision was found. Do not invent one.
- Do not scan or read
.king-context/adr/*.mddirectly for retrieval. Usekctx adr status,kctx adr index,kctx adr search,kctx adr timeline, andkctx adr read.
Retrieval Budget
- Start with
.king-context/bin/kctx adr status; if stale, run.king-context/bin/kctx adr indexbefore searching. - First call:
.king-context/bin/kctx adr search "<topic>" --active --top 5 - If enough:
.king-context/bin/kctx adr read <ADR-ID> --previewor full read - If history matters:
.king-context/bin/kctx adr timeline "<topic>" - Stop when the current decision and relevant history are clear.
Output
- State the current decision first.
- Mention superseded decisions only when relevant.
- Cite ADR IDs.
- Keep the answer concise.
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.

king-decisions is a skill published in the GitHub repository deandevz/king-context (56 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT.
