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 | $0.00044 | $0.00432 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00173 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
file-friction 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 22d 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.
The source is not reproduced here
A licence we could not identify
The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.
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.

file-friction is a skill published in the GitHub repository kentcdodds/kody (805 stars, last pushed 12d ago), with no licence file. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 432 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-24.

update-recovery
Use when an update leaves out owner customizations or they need restoring or merging.
security-pipeline
Use when security verification is needed - pre-commit security checks, vulnerability scanning, STRIDE threat analysis. Integrates with /handoff-verify --security and /commit-push-pr. CWE Top 25 based.
create-pr
Create evidence-backed pull requests to the GitHub main branch with strict preflight, quality, and security gates. Use when users ask to create/submit/open/update a PR to main (including private repos), decide draft vs ready state, and provide reviewer-ready context for team review.
git-commit
Safely create a git commit by validating repository state, staging intended changes, scanning for secrets/conflicts, generating a Conventional Commits message (repository convention first, else an English Angular default) from the staged diff, and committing without amend.
workspace-diff-review
Reviews the current workspace diff with a pre-landing mindset.
