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 | $0.00057 | $0.00781 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00312 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00156 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00078 |
Grade A, and why
evosearch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 21d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Fix Loop + Evolutionary Search
Use this skill for intensive debugging of difficult tasks — Evolutionary Search's
multi-candidate search finds strategies the single-pass fix loop misses. It builds on the
iterative-debugging skill: each task's fix loop fix_code.py (when present) is the baseline
to beat, seeded verbatim as candidate_A. LIBERO-Pro runs use --init-mode seeded so
development seeds 51–65 and held-out seeds 1–50 are distinct scenes.
Setup
- Complete benchmark setup for the target embodiment (
docs/libero-pro.md, ordocs/robosuite.md), including the pinned environment (for LIBERO:scripts/bootstrap_libero.sh→.venv-libero) and SAM3 authentication. - Export the benchmark environment variables (for LIBERO:
LIBERO_CONFIG_PATH="$PWD/.libero",MUJOCO_GL=egl,PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=egl,EGL_PLATFORM=device,TORCH_FORCE_NO_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD=1). - Start perception services (
scripts/supervise_services.sh) and a persistent coordinator session. - Confirm the Fix Loop experiment has produced
fix_code.py(and a baseline held-out rate) for the target tasks when available. - Read
docs/api-reference.md,docs/run-artifacts.md, and main-agent-prompt.md.
Run Order
- Take the task list from the user (tasks below the success threshold; any set of
(benchmark, suite, task_id)cases) and follow main-agent-prompt.md as the coordinator. - Fill subagent-prompt.md once per task and dispatch subagents on the available worker GPUs.
- Subagents read the experiment-specific companion skills under skills/ when
generating candidates, iterate with scripts/evosearch_eval.py,
and run the Stage 2 held-out evaluation themselves with the shared
.claude/skills/iterative-debugging/scripts/run_validation.pybefore returning. - Use clean-task-slate.md before rerunning a task or suite.
What ships with it
7 files 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.

evosearch is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVlabs/ASPIRE (959 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 781 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
