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 | $0.00040 | $0.00666 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00333 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00133 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00067 |
Grade A, and why
openspec-new-change 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 10d 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
73% identical to openspec-new-change — 6 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.
What it actually says
Start a new change using the experimental artifact-driven approach.
Input: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
Steps
-
If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build
Use the AskUserQuestion tool (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
"What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" →
add-user-auth).IMPORTANT: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
-
Determine the workflow schema
Use the default schema (omit
--schema) unless the user explicitly requests a different workflow.Use a different schema only if the user mentions:
- A specific schema name → use
--schema <name> - "show workflows" or "what workflows" → run
openspec schemas --jsonand let them choose
Otherwise: Omit
--schemato use the default. - A specific schema name → use
-
Create the change directory
openspec new change "<name>"Add
--schema <name>only if the user requested a specific workflow. This creates a scaffolded change in the planning home resolved by the CLI. -
Show the artifact status
openspec status --change "<name>" --jsonUse the returned
planningHome,changeRoot,artifactPaths, andnextStepsinstead of assuming repo-local paths. -
Get instructions for the first artifact The first artifact depends on the schema (e.g.,
proposalfor spec-driven). Check the status output to find the first artifact with status "ready".openspec instructions <first-artifact-id> --change "<name>"This outputs the template and context for creating the first artifact.
-
STOP and wait for user direction
Output
After completing the steps, summarize:
- Change name and location
- Schema/workflow being used and its artifact sequence
- Current status (0/N artifacts complete)
- The template for the first artifact
- Prompt: "Ready to create the first artifact? Just describe what this change is about and I'll draft it, or ask me to continue."
Guardrails
- Do NOT create any artifacts yet - just show the instructions
- Do NOT advance beyond showing the first artifact template
- If the name is invalid (not kebab-case), ask for a valid name
- If a change with that name already exists, suggest continuing that change instead
- Pass --schema if using a non-default workflow
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.

openspec-new-change is a skill published in the GitHub repository fjpulidop/specrails-core (9 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 666 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 73% identical to openspec-new-change, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
local-execution-planner
Plan a repository task for execution by a small local coding model, then hand the plan to the local executor over MCP. Inspect the codebase, decompose the work into self-contained sequential prompts, define deterministic eval gates, validate the manifest, and submit it for execution. Never implement the task.
mle-workflow
Production machine-learning engineering workflow for data contracts, reproducible training, model evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and rollback. Use when building, reviewing, or hardening ML systems beyond one-off notebooks.
react-patterns
React 18/19 patterns including hooks discipline, server/client component boundaries, Suspense + error boundaries, form actions, data fetching, state management decision trees, and accessibility-first composition. Use when writing or reviewing React components.
article-writing
Write articles, guides, blog posts, tutorials, newsletter issues, and other long-form content in a distinctive voice derived from supplied examples or brand guidance. Use when the user wants polished written content longer than a paragraph, especially when voice consistency, structure, and credibility matter.
taiyi-evolve
A workflow skill that compares the implemented code with the frozen design after development and testing. It records architecture changes and proposes updates to DESIGN.md, the document describing the intended system structure.
taiyi-diagram-c4
A code-scanning tool that builds C4 architecture documents from a repository. It separates facts observed in the code from conclusions inferred about the design and uses Mermaid diagrams as the source format.
