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 | $0.00116 | $0.04716 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00046 | $0.01886 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00943 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00472 |
Grade C, and why
vps-maintenance scanned grade C with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.
curl -sfX POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$PAYLOAD" "$SLACK_URL" >/dev/null || true Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
**No swap on VPS** — recommend `fallocate -l 2G /swapfile && chmod 600 /swapfile && mkswap /swapfile && swapon /swapfile`, persist via `/etc/fstab`, and set `vm.swappiness=10`. Do NOT auto-apply — ask first. Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.

vps-maintenance is a skill published in the GitHub repository DevOtts/all-skills-you-will-ever-need (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 4,716 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (sends data to an external url, asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
