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 | $0.00030 | $0.00182 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00073 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00036 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00018 |
Grade A, and why
go-practices 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
go-practices
Quick Start
- Follow hexagonal architecture: business logic in
pkg/api/business/, adapters inpkg/api/adapters/ - Use snake_case for all Go files
- Wrap errors:
fmt.Errorf("%w: %w", ErrSentinelError, err) - Run tests with race detection:
go test -race ./...
Key Principles
- Business logic has NO external dependencies
- All external interactions through interfaces
- Composition via AppContext (composition root)
- Table-driven tests with
t.Parallel() - OpenTelemetry for observability

What ships with it
1 file 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.

go-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository eser/rules (53 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 182 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
