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 | $0.00082 | $0.02361 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.01180 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00472 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00236 |
Grade A, and why
update-spec 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 7d 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
89% identical to trellis-update-spec — 69 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 — 336 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Update Code-Spec - Capture Executable Contracts
When you learn something valuable (from debugging, implementing, or discussion), use this skill to update the relevant code-spec documents.
Timing: After completing a task, fixing a bug, or discovering a new pattern
Code-Spec First Rule (CRITICAL)
In this project, "spec" for implementation work means code-spec:
- Executable contracts (not principle-only text)
- Concrete signatures, payload fields, env keys, and boundary behavior
- Testable validation/error behavior
If the change touches infra or cross-layer contracts, code-spec depth is mandatory.
Required sections for infra/cross-layer specs:
- Scope / Trigger
- Signatures (command/API/DB)
- Contracts (request/response/env)
- Validation & Error Matrix
- Good/Base/Bad Cases
- Tests Required (with assertion points)
- Wrong vs Correct (at least one pair)
When to Update Code-Specs
| Trigger | Example | Target Spec |
|---|---|---|
| Implemented a feature | Added template download with giget | Relevant backend/ or frontend/ file |
| Made a design decision | Used type field + mapping table for extensibility | Relevant code-spec + "Design Decisions" section |
| Fixed a bug | Found a subtle issue with error handling | backend/error-handling.md |
| Discovered a pattern | Found a better way to structure code | Relevant backend/ or frontend/ file |
| Hit a gotcha | Learned that X must be done before Y | Relevant code-spec + "Common Mistakes" section |
| Established a convention | Team agreed on naming pattern | quality-guidelines.md |
| New thinking trigger | "Don't forget to check X before doing Y" | guides/*.md (as a checklist item, not detailed rules) |
Key Insight: Code-spec updates are NOT just for problems. Every feature implementation contains design decisions and contracts that future AI/developers need to execute safely.

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.
- 7d ago First seen · 336 lines · 82 tokens per session scan A 7ccf7d29ea26
update-spec is a skill published in the GitHub repository lxyer/multi-agent-collaboration-system (1 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 2,361 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to trellis-update-spec, differing in 69 lines, and is treated as a copy.
