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 | $0.00021 | $0.00873 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00349 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00175 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00087 |
Grade A, and why
make-the-change-easy 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 1mo 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.

Make The Change Easy
Assess target codebase readiness before implementing a feature or bugfix. Determine if the landing zone naturally absorbs the change or requires prerequisite preparatory refactoring (Tidying).
Directives
- Architecture Vocabulary: MUST use exact domain terms (module, interface, depth, seam, adapter, leverage, locality) defined in REFERENCE.md; NEVER substitute component, service, API, boundary.
- Mental Model First: MUST construct an ideal landing zone representation (minimal ripple effects, clean seam) before reading existing implementation code.
- 4-Axis Audit: MUST evaluate target code across Maintainability (Locality), Extensibility (Seams & Adapters), Debuggability (Test Surface), and Updatability (Shallowness & Deletion Test) per REFERENCE.md.
- Clickable File Links: MUST format every file reference as a clickable markdown link with line numbers:
[file.ts#L10-L20](file:///path/to/file.ts#L10-L20). - Presentation Boundary: MUST terminate execution immediately after presenting the final verdict or report. NEVER execute source code modifications within this skill.
Workflow
1. Formulate Ideal Mental Model (Pre-Inspection)
Before inspecting target files, establish the ideal structural shape for the incoming change:
- Determine where the structural seam should reside to absorb the change with zero ripple effects on callers.
- Identify how a deep module interface would express this new capability naturally.
- Completion Criterion: Ideal module interaction and seam location clearly formulated in memory.
2. Inspect & Execute 4-Axis Audit
Read target files and trace execution paths against audit rules in REFERENCE.md:
- Maintainability (Locality): Check if logic is concentrated in a deep module or scattered across callers (Cohesion Order).
- Extensibility (Seams & Adapters): Identify missing seams or hardcoded external dependencies. Classify dependencies per
DEEPENING.md. - Debuggability (Test Surface): Verify if existing tests validate through clean interfaces or rely on brittle implementation mocks.
- Updatability (Shallowness & Deletion Test): Run the Deletion Test — determine if adding the change directly creates pass-through wrappers or state leakage.
- Completion Criterion: All 4 axes evaluated with specific file/line evidence.
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.

make-the-change-easy is a skill published in the GitHub repository loerei/chronicle-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 873 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.

autoreview
Structured code review through the shared OpenClaw agent-skills installation.
omh-code-review
This is an OMH code-review workflow skill, projected for Agent Skills hosts (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, OpenClaw, pi).
revdiff-plan
Review the last Codex assistant message (plan, analysis, or proposal) with inline annotations in a TUI overlay. Extracts the most recent response from Codex rollout files and opens it in revdiff for review and annotation. Activates on "revdiff-plan", "review plan with revdiff", "annotate plan", "review last response"…
re0-merge
Review and land an external contribution the way this suite does: gate it against the thesis, land it with the author's credit intact, complete a new skill rather than merging it raw, then approve, credit, and explain before closing. Use when reviewing a pull request, as any collaborator or maintainer, not only the…

Guide the user through a quadrant walk that maps the unknowns of a task — open by listing the known knowns, then work through known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns one stage at a time, ending with a complete four-quadrant map in the user's hands. Use when a request is ambiguous or underspecified, the…
