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 | $0.00010 | $0.00141 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00071 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00028 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00014 |
Grade A, and why
error-handling 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.
What it actually says
Go Error Handling Skill
When reviewing or writing Go code:
- Ensure all errors are checked and not ignored
- Validate error wrapping with
%wfor context preservation - Check that error messages are informative and actionable
- Recommend using
errors.Isanderrors.Asfor error comparison - Ensure errors are returned early when possible (fail fast)
- Validate error types are appropriate for the domain
- Check for proper error propagation through the call stack
- Avoid returning wrapped errors at package boundaries
- Use custom error types for domain-specific errors
- Ensure error variables are exported for use by callers
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.

error-handling is a skill published in the GitHub repository hexxla/mcp-ratchet (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 141 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.

go-code-review
Use when reviewing Go code or checking code against community style standards. Also use proactively before submitting a Go PR or when reviewing any Go code changes, even if the user doesn't explicitly request a style review. Does not cover language-specific syntax — delegates to specialized skills.
design-review
Deep design review of Go codebase — naming, structure, consistency, interfaces, error handling. Scores each dimension and provides actionable fixes.
agents-md
Generate AGENTS.md files for Go, Rust, TypeScript, and Java projects. Use this skill whenever the user asks to create, scaffold, bootstrap, update, or review an AGENTS.md (or agent-instructions, CLAUDE.md, repo guide for agents) file in a codebase. Also trigger when the user says "add AGENTS.md", "make this repo…
go-expert
Expert-level Go development with Go 1.22+ features, concurrency, standard library, and production-grade best practices. Use when the user mentions concurrency, microservices, or backend, or when the task involves idiomatic Go, goroutines and channels, context-based cancellation, or writing an HTTP server.
