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 | $0.00077 | $0.01071 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00535 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00214 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
covalent-bond-run scanned grade A 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 11d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Running Covalent Bond
Covalent Bond pairs two AI coding agents on different machines over an end-to-end-encrypted channel. This skill covers setup, pairing, and troubleshooting. It assumes Node.js v18+.
1. Install
npm install
npm test # confirms the build works (uses an in-process mock relay)
2. Choose a relay
The two machines connect through a relay. Options:
- Local mock relay (dev / same-network testing):
npm run relay:devstarts one onhttp://localhost:8787. Point both sides at it withCOVALENT_RELAY_URL=http://localhost:8787. - Deployed Cloudflare Worker (real cross-machine use): set
COVALENT_RELAY_URL=https://<your-worker>.workers.dev. Deploying one is a maintainer task; see the deploy skill /cloudflare-worker/README.md.
The relay never sees plaintext, keys, or the session code.
3. Register the MCP server with the agent
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --scope user covalent -- node /absolute/path/to/covalent-bond/bin/cli.js
Other MCP clients (Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Cline, …): add a stdio MCP
server whose command is node /absolute/path/to/covalent-bond/bin/cli.js. Set
COVALENT_RELAY_URL in the server's environment, or copy .env.example to
.env in the covalent-bond folder (the server reads it at startup; a real
environment variable takes precedence).
4. Pair two agents
The nine tools are bond_connect, bond_join, bond_send, bond_message,
bond_wait, bond_accept,
bond_decline, bond_status, bond_end.
- Machine A (host): ask the agent to "create a Covalent Bond session" →
it calls
bond_connectand returns a session code likeAbCd-1234-XyZw. - Share the code with Machine B out-of-band: chat, voice, in person. Never paste it into the relay; its secrecy is what secures the channel.
- Machine B (guest): "join Covalent Bond session AbCd-1234-XyZw" → it
calls
bond_join. - Check
bond_statuson both until it shows Secure channel established. - Send a file: "send
src/auth.jsto my peer" →bond_send. The peer sees a consent prompt and mustbond_acceptbefore the file is written. - End: "end the Covalent Bond session" →
bond_end.
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.

covalent-bond-run is a skill published in the GitHub repository gopalrajsuresh/covalent-bond (0 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 1,071 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
