What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00078 | $0.00298 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00149 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00060 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
sound-design-principles 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 11d 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
Sound Design Principles
Design sound that communicates — source, function, and emotion — for UI, film, or games, by intent rather than by preset.
Steps
- State what each sound must communicate (event, affordance, feedback, mood) and to whom.
- Choose source material and synthesis/processing to fit that function; shape the envelope (attack/decay) to the event's timing.
- Design a consistent sonic language across a set (families of sounds that feel related and distinguishable).
- Ensure sounds read against the target playback context (small speakers, noisy rooms, spatial mix) and never rely on volume alone.
- Respect likeness/rights: never self-clear a recognizable voice or copyrighted sample; flag for
rule6-rights-gate.
Acceptance
- Every sound has a stated function and an envelope that fits the event.
- A consistent, distinguishable sonic family is defined across the set.
- Recognizable voice/sample rights are flagged, never self-cleared.
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.

sound-design-principles is a skill published in the GitHub repository mtarcure/claude-vibe-squad (148 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 298 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
