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 | $0.00042 | $0.00740 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00370 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00148 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00074 |
Grade A, and why
prd-to-issues 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 8d 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
88% identical to prd-to-issues — 3 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 — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PRD to Issues
Break a PRD into independently-grabbable issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets), written as local markdown files.
Process
1. Locate the PRD
Ask the user for the PRD file path (e.g. issues/prd.md).
If the PRD is not already in your context window, read it from the file.
2. Explore the codebase (optional)
If you have not already explored the codebase, do so to understand the current state of the code.
3. Draft vertical slices
Break the PRD into tracer bullet issues. Each issue is a thin vertical slice that cuts through ALL integration layers end-to-end, NOT a horizontal slice of one layer.
Slices may be 'HITL' or 'AFK'. HITL slices require human interaction, such as an architectural decision or a design review. AFK slices can be implemented and merged without human interaction. Prefer AFK over HITL where possible.
4. Quiz the user
Present the proposed breakdown as a numbered list. For each slice, show:
- Title: short descriptive name
- Type: HITL / AFK
- Blocked by: which other slices (if any) must complete first
- User stories covered: which user stories from the PRD this addresses
Ask the user:
- Does the granularity feel right? (too coarse / too fine)
- Are the dependency relationships correct?
- Should any slices be merged or split further?
- Are the correct slices marked as HITL and AFK?
Iterate until the user approves the breakdown.
5. Create the issue files
For each approved slice, write a markdown file in issues/ using the naming pattern issues/NNN-short-title.md (e.g. issues/001-add-user-auth.md).
Number issues starting from the next available number (check what files already exist in issues/).
Create files in dependency order (blockers first) so you can reference real filenames in the "Blocked by" field.
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.

prd-to-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository mick-gsk/drift (15 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 740 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to prd-to-issues, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
dispatcher
Use this skill when running a Taniwha build from the main Claude Code session. The skill turns the main session into a thin, mechanical executor that follows instructions from ephemeral orchestrator subagents. Trigger this whenever the user wants to start a Taniwha build, resume an interrupted one, or work on a…
contract-derivation
Use this skill after a design document exists and before any module is implemented. It takes a design doc and derives per-module contracts (manifests) that are complete enough for an implementor working in isolation to build each module correctly without seeing the rest of the system. Trigger this whenever the user…
design-doc
Use this skill before writing any non-trivial code, especially when starting a new feature, service, or codebase. It produces a structural design document that commits to module boundaries, contracts, and data shapes BEFORE implementation begins. Trigger this whenever the user describes building something new, asks to…
verifier
Use this skill when verifying that a completed Taniwha implementation or composition satisfies its contract's acceptance criteria. The verifier reads the contract, the implementation's source files, and the project context, then writes its own tests against the contract's acceptance criteria, runs them, and reports…
composition
Use this skill when wiring two completed modules together to satisfy a parent contract, especially in a compartmentalised setting. Trigger this whenever the user has two implemented modules (each with its manifest) and a parent contract that says how they should compose, when the user asks to "compose these modules"…
leaf-implementation
Use this skill when implementing a single module against a contract manifest, especially in a compartmentalised setting where the implementor should NOT see the rest of the system. Trigger this whenever a manifest exists and the user wants to implement that module, asks to "implement this module", "build against this…
