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 | $0.00109 | $0.00382 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00153 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00076 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
start 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 1mo 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
/start - Session Start
Load context and show today's focus. Keep output under 10 lines.
Steps
- Read dashboard (silent):
memory/state/dashboard.md - Read todo (silent):
memory/state/todo.md - Check for resume: Look for
memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md(today's date)
Output Format
Session: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
[If resuming: "Resuming - previous session logged"]
Priorities:
- [TOP priority from dashboard - most urgent/important item]
- [Secondary priority]
- [Next actionable step]
Tasks: X active | Y completed today
Rules
- Maximum 10 lines of output
- If dashboard doesn't exist yet, say: "No dashboard found. Run /setup first or create memory/state/dashboard.md"
- If todo doesn't exist, skip task count
- Don't read errors.md or learnings.md at start (save context window)
- Don't ask questions - this is a pure read-and-display command
- Use the user's language preference from CLAUDE.md (default: follow dashboard language)
- Show priorities by importance, not by file order
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.

start is a skill published in the GitHub repository onurpolat05/ALBA (23 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 382 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
cron-task-creator
A scheduler for recurring octo agent tasks. Each task contains a schedule and a prompt, so octo can run an agent turn automatically at the specified times.
workflow-creator
Turn a repeatable multi-step task into a runnable, reusable saved workflow through guided conversation, in either of two shapes — chaining existing skills/recordings (wiring each one's output into the next's input), or composing the workflow script's own primitives (agent/parallel/pipeline) directly when the task…
resume-crafting
A career-writing aid for turning a résumé or cover letter into clear evidence of results. It uses measurable outcomes and adapts the wording to a job description and applicant-tracking systems, or ATS tools that scan applications for relevant terms.
handoff-create
Generate a structured handoff document from the current session. Captures scope, relevant files with line numbers, key discoveries, work completed, current status, next steps, and code snippets. Use before ending a session or handing work to another agent.
session-save
Save the current session state (decisions, modified files, current status, and next steps) to a handoff file for later resume.
handoff-update
Update an existing handoff document with current session progress. Applies section-specific merge rules: append-only for Work Done (never deletes history), replace for Status and Next Steps, merge for Files and Discoveries. Falls back to creating a new handoff if no source file is found.
