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 | $0.00015 | $0.00243 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00097 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00049 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
release 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
Release Readiness
Use this skill to establish whether a governed project is ready for its own maintainer-led release process. It is deliberately read-only: it does not create releases, tags, deployments, uploads, or promotions.
Public boundary
The installed Specsmith CLI may audit and validate a user's project. It must not publish Specsmith itself or manage the Layer1Labs release pipeline. Those actions belong to repository-local CI with explicit maintainer review.
Read-only checks
specsmith audit --project-dir .
specsmith validate --strict --project-dir .
specsmith verify-release --project-dir .
Resolve every reported issue before handing the project to the responsible release process. These checks do not replace a project's own artifact, signing, or publication controls.
Safety
- Do not invoke a
specsmith releasecommand; it is intentionally not public. - Do not create, move, or force-update tags.
- Do not upload packages or use publication credentials from this skill.
- Treat immutable published versions as requiring a new version to correct.
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.

release is a skill published in the GitHub repository layer1labs/specsmith (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 243 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
