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 | $0.00115 | $0.01279 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00057 | $0.00639 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00256 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00128 |
Grade A, and why
tc-orient-project 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 9d 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Orienting on a TwinCAT project
First-touch orientation is a fixed-budget activity. The point is to give the user a useful overview, not to inventory every POU. Stay disciplined.
Procedure
- One
GetStructurecall. CallGetStructure(project_path)exactly once. Read the full response. The returnedProjectStructurealready contains everything needed for the overview:pous[].foldergroups POUs by subsystem (POUs sharing a folder are part of the same subsystem).taskslists each task withcycle_time_us,priority, and the boundprograms.librarieslists library references (Beckhoff and third-party).gvls,dutsare flat name lists.
- Identify subsystems. Group
pousbyfolder. Each non-empty folder is a candidate subsystem. The flat (folder="") group is the project's "loose" code. Report the folder names and how many POUs each contains. - Find the entry point. From
tasks[].programs, identify which POU is bound to the primary cyclic task (typically the one with the shortestcycle_time_us). CallGetPouInterfaceon that one POU. - Sample one FB per subsystem. Pick at most 4 subsystems. For each, choose one top-level FB (avoid helpers, internal-looking names, things in a "Functions" or "Utilities" folder). Call
GetPouInterfaceon it. The aim is to learn the project's naming and error-handling conventions, not to map every method. - STOP. Report the orientation. Subsystems, tasks (with cycle times), libraries, entry point, conventions. Do not crawl further. If the user's request demands deeper reading, hand off to
tc-read-project.
Budget
- Total tool calls for orientation should be ≤ 6: one
GetStructure+ at most one entry-point read + at most four subsystem-sample reads. - If you find yourself wanting a fifth
GetPouInterface, you are no longer orienting; stop and report what you have.
Anti-patterns
- Reading every POU "to be thorough". The whole point is to stop early.
- Calling
GetPouItemduring orientation. Bodies come later, viatc-read-project. - Using
ReadorGrepon.TcPOU/.TcGVL/.TcDUTfiles as a substitute forGetStructure/GetPouInterfacewhen those tools are available.GetStructurealready mapped them; raw XML reads in that case waste the context window. - Calling
GetStructureagain later in the session "to refresh". It is one-shot per session unless the project changes on disk. - Quoting library behaviour from memory. If a library FB needs explaining, hand off to
tc-beckhoff-docs.
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.

tc-orient-project is a skill published in the GitHub repository georgeturneruk/tckit (5 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 1,279 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
