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 | $0.00046 | $0.00840 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00420 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00168 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00084 |
Grade A, and why
kanban-start 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 12d 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Work Through Kanban Tickets
You are executing planned work from the mcp-kanban board. Move tickets through columns and update them as you work.
Step 1: Discover the board
Use mcp__mcp-kanban__list_columns to get the column IDs. Identify:
- The "in progress" column (for active work)
- The "review" column (if it exists, for completed-but-not-verified work)
- The "done" column (for finished work)
Use mcp__mcp-kanban__list_tickets to see all tickets and find which ones are ready to work on (in Backlog or Todo).
Step 2: Pick the next ticket
If $ARGUMENTS specifies a ticket or story, start with that. Otherwise, pick the highest-priority story that hasn't been started yet.
Use mcp__mcp-kanban__get_ticket to read the full ticket details including subtasks.
Step 3: Move the story to In Progress
Use mcp__mcp-kanban__move_ticket to move the parent story to the "in progress" column. This signals on the board that work has begun.
Step 4: Work through each subtask
For each subtask in the story:
- Before starting: Move the subtask to "in progress" with
mcp__mcp-kanban__move_ticket - Do the work: Implement the changes — read files, write code, run tests, etc.
- Update the ticket: Use
mcp__mcp-kanban__update_ticketto add implementation notes to the subtask description — what was done, what files were changed, any decisions made - Mark complete: Use
mcp__mcp-kanban__complete_subtaskto move the subtask to Done
Step 5: Complete the story
Once all subtasks are done:
- Use
mcp__mcp-kanban__update_ticketto update the parent story's description with a summary of what was implemented - Move the story to "review" or "done" column with
mcp__mcp-kanban__move_ticket
Step 6: Continue or stop
After completing a story, check if there are more stories to work on:
- If yes, ask the user: "Story complete. Ready to move on to the next one?"
- If no more stories, report: "All planned work is complete."
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.

kanban-start is a skill published in the GitHub repository gablabelle/mcp-kanban (3 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT.
