What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00106 | $0.04911 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00053 | $0.02455 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00982 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00491 |
Grade A, and why
create-build 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 3d 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.

Author a Granite.build build
This skill makes a workload (train a model, run inference, generate/process data, evaluate, or any script) run on Granite.build. In the standalone bash environment you produce one artifact:
- A build.yaml — the run definition. It references the built-in
commandstep by URI, wires inputs/outputs, passes per-run settings, and carries the workload itself inline in the command step'sconfig.command_config.command. For anything more than a one-liner, the command writes its own script via a shell heredoc and runs it. Keep the build.yaml with the user's project (e.g. alora-granite/build.yamlfolder).
You do not author a step directory (step.yaml + bash_scripts/) for the common case — the generic command step already exists and runs whatever command you give it. This keeps the whole workload self-contained in one file.
Granite.build is workload-agnostic: training, inference, data-gen, and evaluation are all "a command that runs." What changes between workloads is the command string and the settings in build.yaml — not the structure.
Scope — this skill covers ONLY the inline
command+ heredoc approach, and delegates everything more complex tocreate-step. The heredoc approach is bash-specific (it relies on the bash environment's runtime contract — see below) and is not portable across environments: Docker/LSF/skypilot provision Python + dependencies and wire inputs differently. For the standalone-bash default it's the simplest, fastest path. The moment you need a reusable, packaged, or owned-code step — its ownstep.yaml+bash_scripts/, referenced from the build by afile://URI — stop and use thecreate-stepskill. This skill does not describe step authoring at all; it routes you to an existing step (below) or hands the case off tocreate-step.
First: is there already a step for your workload? (prefer it over inline)
The standalone space ships tested, purpose-built steps. If one matches your workload, use it — it's battle-tested, and reinventing it inline is slower and more error-prone. Check these before reaching for a heredoc:
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

create-build is a skill published in the GitHub repository ibm-granite/granite.build (44 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 4,911 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-04.
