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 | $0.00020 | $0.00308 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00154 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00062 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00031 |
Grade A, and why
hypothesis-generation 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 12d 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
Hypothesis Generation
When to Use
- After exploratory data analysis reveals interesting patterns
- When literature review suggests novel connections
- During target discovery or drug repositioning
- When designing experiments
Framework
1. Observation Phase
- What pattern or signal was observed?
- What is the data source and quality?
- Is it reproducible or a single observation?
2. Context Phase
- What does existing literature say?
- Are there known mechanisms that could explain the observation?
- What are related findings in adjacent fields?
3. Hypothesis Formulation
Use the IF-THEN-BECAUSE format:
- IF [specific intervention or condition]
- THEN [measurable outcome]
- BECAUSE [proposed mechanism]
4. Testability Assessment
- Is the hypothesis falsifiable?
- What experiment would test it?
- What controls are needed?
- What statistical test would evaluate results?
5. Impact Assessment
- If confirmed, what would change?
- Who benefits?
- What is the next step?

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.

hypothesis-generation is a skill published in the GitHub repository omar-A-hassan/medsci-agent (18 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 308 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
