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 | $0.00017 | $0.07591 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.03036 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.01518 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00759 |
Grade C, and why
subagent-driven-development scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 today.
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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 575 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Subagent-Driven Development
Execute plan by dispatching a fresh implementer subagent per task, a task review (spec compliance + code quality) after each, and a broad whole-branch review at the end.
Why subagents: You delegate tasks to specialized agents with isolated context. By precisely crafting their instructions and context, you ensure they stay focused and succeed at their task. They should never inherit your session's context or history , you construct exactly what they need. This also preserves your own context for coordination work.
Core principle: Fresh subagent per task + task review (spec + quality) + broad final review = high quality, fast iteration
Narration: between tool calls, narrate at most one short line , the ledger and the tool results carry the record.
Continuous execution: Do not pause to check in with your human partner between tasks. Execute all tasks from the plan without stopping. The only reasons to stop are the four named below, or all tasks complete. "Should I continue?" prompts and progress summaries waste their time , they asked you to execute the plan, so execute it.
Rulings, not stalls. A running plan does not wait on a human. Conflicts,
ambiguities, plan defects, a cap you would have asked to exceed , decide
them. The spec is the binding authority, the plan is its argument, and your
judgment settles what neither answers. Record every decision in the ledger as
Ruling: <what you decided> , <why> , <what it costs if wrong>, and keep
going. A wrong ruling costs rework your human partner can see and undo; a
session parked on a question costs their whole day and buys nothing.
Four things stop you, and only these: an irreversible or destructive operation; a security-sensitive action; a side effect outside this worktree that norms say you ask about first (a merge, a push to a shared branch, a publish); and a plan so broken that every path forward is a guess. For those, stop and ask.

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.

subagent-driven-development is a skill published in the GitHub repository flowing-abyss/obsidian-hybrid-search (113 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 7,591 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). It is 91% identical to subagent-driven-development, differing in 406 lines, and is treated as a copy.

palaia-memory
Check this person's shared memory before answering anything about their own work, and add to it when something is worth keeping. It holds their projects, decisions and reasons, house conventions (naming, commit messages, tests, releases, review and escalation), people and hard-won details, and every AI tool they use…

Register this session with the shared directory so other AI sessions and this person's dashboard can see what you are doing, then use it to reach another live session directly instead of relaying everything through the person. Use it at the start of a task, before picking one up, when your work depends on or informs…
palaia-capture
Save what this person tells you into their shared memory, which every AI tool they use can read. Use it the moment they state a decision and the reason for it, a convention, a correction, or a detail that was expensive to work out — including when they mention it in passing on the way to a different question.
