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 | $0.00046 | $0.00566 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00283 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00113 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00057 |
Grade A, and why
karpathy-guidelines 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 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.

karpathy-guidelines is a skill published in the GitHub repository nazarli-shabnam/clevis (101 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed GPL-3.0. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 566 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
