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 | $0.00028 | $0.01849 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00740 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00370 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00185 |
Grade A, and why
vulnerability-scanner 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to vulnerability-scanner — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

1. Security Expert Mindset
Core Principles
| Principle | Application |
|---|---|
| Assume Breach | Design as if attacker already inside |
| Zero Trust | Never trust, always verify |
| Defense in Depth | Multiple layers, no single point |
| Least Privilege | Minimum required access only |
| Fail Secure | On error, deny access |
Threat Modeling Questions
Before scanning, ask:
- What are we protecting? (Assets)
- Who would attack? (Threat actors)
- How would they attack? (Attack vectors)
- What's the impact? (Business risk)
2. OWASP Top 10:2025
Risk Categories
| Rank | Category | Think About |
|---|---|---|
| A01 | Broken Access Control | Who can access what? IDOR, SSRF |
| A02 | Security Misconfiguration | Defaults, headers, exposed services |
| A03 | Software Supply Chain 🆕 | Dependencies, CI/CD, build integrity |
| A04 | Cryptographic Failures | Weak crypto, exposed secrets |
| A05 | Injection | User input → system commands |
| A06 | Insecure Design | Flawed architecture |
| A07 | Authentication Failures | Session, credential management |
| A08 | Integrity Failures | Unsigned updates, tampered data |
| A09 | Logging & Alerting | Blind spots, no monitoring |
| A10 | Exceptional Conditions 🆕 | Error handling, fail-open states |
2025 Key Changes
2021 → 2025 Shifts:
├── SSRF merged into A01 (Access Control)
├── A02 elevated (Cloud/Container configs)
├── A03 NEW: Supply Chain (major focus)
├── A10 NEW: Exceptional Conditions
└── Focus shift: Root causes > Symptoms
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.

vulnerability-scanner is a skill published in the GitHub repository diillson/chatcli (93 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,849 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to vulnerability-scanner, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.

A design guide for an agent status bar: a short, automatically updated summary of progress, remaining tasks, tool counts, errors, and system state placed near the latest model input.

A guide to arranging an AI agent's conversation so previously processed text can be reused. A KV cache stores intermediate results for earlier tokens, while a prompt cache reuses a stable beginning across requests.

A guide to building reliable loops for AI agents that plan, act, check their work, and continue until a task is truly complete. It includes independent verification and a proposer-reviewer pattern in which one agent's work is checked using outside evidence.
reward-design
A guide to defining the scores that an AI agent receives during trial-and-error training. It covers checks based on rules, human preferences, or another model, and distinguishes rewarding the final result from rewarding the steps taken.
