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 | $0.00034 | $0.03312 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.01656 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00662 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00331 |
Grade A, and why
cwicr-takeoff-helper 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to cwicr-takeoff-helper — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

CWICR Takeoff Helper
Business Case
Problem Statement
Quantity takeoff requires:
- Accurate calculations from dimensions
- Correct unit conversions
- Waste factor application
- Complete scope coverage
Solution
Assist takeoff process with CWICR-based calculations, automatic waste factors, unit conversions, and related item suggestions.
Business Value
- Accuracy - Validated calculations
- Completeness - Related items suggested
- Speed - Quick quantity calculations
- Consistency - Standard approaches

What ships with it
2 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.
