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 | $0.00054 | $0.03192 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.01277 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00638 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00319 |
Grade A, and why
electron-desktop-qa 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.

Electron Desktop QA
Use this skill for AccordAgents renderer QA, UI bug reproduction, visual checks, and any task that asks you to see, screenshot, click, type into, scroll, or read DOM/CSS state in the desktop app.
Rules
- The Electron renderer via CDP is the source of truth.
- Do not use plain
http://127.0.0.1:5173/as desktop validation. It lacks the Electron preload and can crash or differ from the real app. - Do not use macOS screenshots, AppleScript, window-focus tricks, or a generic browser as a substitute.
- Do not report desktop UI QA as blocked until the escalated CDP path below has been attempted and failed.
Workflow
-
Read
docs/inspecting-the-desktop-app.mdif you need details beyond this checklist. -
Check whether a debuggable app is already available:
curl -s --max-time 2 http://127.0.0.1:9222/json/version -
If localhost access fails with
Operation not permitted, or Vite fails withlisten EPERM, rerun the same important command with the provider's escalation or approval mechanism. For Codex, usesandbox_permissions: "require_escalated"with a concrete justification. On a cloud worker this escalation is unavailable: remote runs useapproval_policy=neverand nothing can answer the prompt. Do not ask for it there — if a command needs escalation on a worker, report that instead. -
Prefer a separate production Electron launch before using Vite:
npm run build node_modules/.bin/electron . --remote-debugging-port=9222On Linux (cloud worker) there is no display, so wrap the launch in Xvfb and skip the macOS repair section below:
xvfb-run -a node_modules/.bin/electron --remote-debugging-port=9222 . \ --no-sandboxIf
xvfb-runor Chrome is missing, run Settings → Cloud Runs → Set up (or the doctor'sheadless-display/browserfixes) before retrying. A cloud run validates the Linux build: that is real evidence for renderer, layout, and flow work, and it is not evidence about macOS main-process behavior, native modules, signing, or packaging. Say which you validated.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

electron-desktop-qa is a skill published in the GitHub repository juliakrivchikova/AccordAgents-desktop-app (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 3,192 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
