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 | $0.00052 | $0.00511 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00204 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00102 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00051 |
Grade A, and why
write-cover-letter 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Write Cover Letter
Add useful context that the resume cannot carry; do not narrate the resume back to the reader.
Inputs
Read:
profile/candidate.md.- The configured evidence file.
- The complete job listing and analysis.
- The stable tailored resume for the same opportunity.
If the tailored resume is still changing materially, finish it first.
Drafting Workflow
- Identify why this role, product, problem space, or company is specifically relevant.
- Select two or three evidence-backed connections.
- Explain how the candidate works or makes decisions where that adds signal.
- Address a material career transition or adjacent-experience gap only when it helps the reader interpret the candidacy.
- Close directly and professionally.
Default to 200–350 words. Use 100–180 words for a form note or explicitly short message.
When the listing is the only company source, connect to the role's problem space instead of inventing company or product affinity.
Quality Rules
- Open with a role-specific reason, not enthusiasm boilerplate.
- Use the company's language only when the candidate can support it.
- Do not repeat the resume bullet by bullet.
- Do not invent personal affinity, product usage, customer status, or company knowledge.
- Do not add salary, work authorization, relocation, or notice-period claims unless the prompt requires them and the user confirmed them.
- Do not treat location as proof of work authorization. An unresolved eligibility gate may coexist with a draft, but must block any claim that the package is submission-ready.
- Keep the tone natural enough to read aloud.
- Avoid empty claims such as “perfect fit,” “dream company,” or “passionate professional.”
File Contract
Write the editable source under cover-letters/:
[candidate-slug]-[company]-[role-type]-cover-letter-[yyyymmdd].md
Link it from the application prep file and tracker when those artifacts exist. Do not record it as submitted before confirmation.
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.
