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 | $0.00062 | $0.01028 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00411 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00206 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00103 |
Grade A, and why
read-file 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 4d 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 read-file — 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are helping the user read and analyze a data file using DuckDB.
Filename given: $0
Question: ${1:-describe the data}
Step 1 — Read it
RESOLVED_PATH is $0. If the user gave a bare filename (no /), resolve it to a full path with find first.
Run a single DuckDB command that defines the read_any macro inline and reads the file.
For remote files, prepend the necessary LOAD/SECRET before the macro:
| Protocol | Prepend |
|---|---|
https:// / http:// |
LOAD httpfs; |
s3:// |
LOAD httpfs; CREATE SECRET (TYPE S3, PROVIDER credential_chain); |
gs:// / gcs:// |
LOAD httpfs; CREATE SECRET (TYPE GCS, PROVIDER credential_chain); |
az:// / azure:// / abfss:// |
LOAD httpfs; LOAD azure; CREATE SECRET (TYPE AZURE, PROVIDER credential_chain); |
For local files, no prefix needed.

If this fails:
duckdb: command not found→ invoke/duckdb-skills:install-duckdband retry.- Missing extension (e.g. spatial files, xlsx, sqlite) → retry with
INSTALL spatial; LOAD spatial;orINSTALL sqlite_scanner; LOAD sqlite_scanner;prepended before the macro. - Wrong reader / parse error → use the correct
read_*function directly instead ofread_any.
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.

read-file is a skill published in the GitHub repository justmytwospence/strava-mcp (0 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,028 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to read-file, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
