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 | $0.00136 | $0.02446 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00054 | $0.00978 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00489 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00245 |
Grade A, and why
session-retrospective 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.

Session Retrospective — Insight Discovery and Substrate Encoding
This skill enacts the Endogenous-First axiom from MANIFESTO.md: new knowledge discovered during a session must flow back into the substrate, not remain as ephemeral chat context. It is governed by AGENTS.md § Per-Phase Execution Checklists and § Session-End Closing Steps. This skill is the session-level enactment of Issue #82 (Dogma Neuroplasticity — back-propagation protocol).
Read docs/guides/session-management.md and docs/guides/workflows.md before deviating from any step below.
Beliefs & Context
This skill implements the back-propagation protocol: new patterns discovered interactively must be encoded durably before they can influence future sessions.
Implements: Issue #82 — Dogma Neuroplasticity — back-propagation protocol
Governed by:
AGENTS.md§ Per-Phase Execution Checklists — retrospective runs as the close step after the final phaseMANIFESTO.mdEndogenous-First axiom — endogenous knowledge compounds; chat-only knowledge evaporates
Used by:
- Executive Orchestrator (runs retrospective at session close)
- Executive Fleet (receives agent/skill encoding gaps)
- Executive Docs (receives AGENTS.md / guide encoding gaps)
- Orchestrator (commits via terminal after Review approval)
- Review agent (validates additions before commit)
Companion skill: session-management — retrospective runs during Session Close phase (Step 5 of that skill)
Encoding circuit — the complete back-propagation loop this skill enacts:
Sprint observation → Retrospective harvest → Gap-analysis → Routing plan → Issue seed → Workplan → Phase delegation → Commit
Steps 2–4 map to this skill's Harvest, Gap-Analyse, and Route steps; steps 5–8 execute in subsequent sessions from the routing plan. The circuit closes only when a commit lands — scratchpad notes alone do not close it. The highest-leverage point is step 3: a routing entry missing the Section field causes re-scoping at step 6 or 7, costing tokens that a complete entry at step 3 would have eliminated.
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.

session-retrospective is a skill published in the GitHub repository EndogenAI/dogma (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 136 tokens to every session and 2,446 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
