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 | $0.00037 | $0.00286 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00143 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00057 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
cross-boundary-qa 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 9d 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
Cross-Boundary QA
Use this skill for scripts or reports under scripts/qa/ and _workspace/qa/.
Principle
Each track owns its internals. QA owns the boundaries where independently correct pieces can still disagree.
Checks
- Tool/handler parity: compare defineTool names in src/tools with registered Python handlers.
- Contract drift: compare Zod schemas and Python dataclasses or returned payloads.
- Recipe lint: every step.tool exists, inputs match schemas and refs resolve.
- Knowledge consistency: device IDs, parameter names, indexes, units and URIs are unique and valid.
- Smoke: run bridge mock smoke in CI; run real Live smoke locally when available.
Report Format
Write _workspace/qa/cycle-{N}-report.md with status PASS, PASS-WITH-WARNINGS or FAIL. Findings lead with severity, file/line, symptom, repro command or steps, likely owner and suggested fix.
Gate Guidance
BLOCKER stops the next cycle until fixed. MAJOR can pass with warnings only if the architect records the debt. MINOR is tracked but does not block. Repeated patterns should become lint or codegen proposals.
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.

cross-boundary-qa is a skill published in the GitHub repository Pantani/ableton-mind (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 286 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
ableton-live
Connect and operate the Loophole Bridge (Ableton Live MCP server). Use when the user wants to check Live/bridge prerequisites, wire an MCP client to Loophole, or run a Live editing recipe (humanize, build arrangement, batch rename, chord from prompt). Triggers: "is my Ableton bridge working", "set up loophole"…
groove-builder
Use when the user wants drum patterns by genre - kick, snare, hi-hat, percussion. Examples - "give me a trap beat", "house drum pattern", "DnB drums at 174", "lo-fi drums with swing", "boom-bap pattern".
midi-cleanup
Use when the user asks to humanize a MIDI part, fix voice leading, quantize notes, clean up timing, fix stuck/duplicate notes, or generally polish a MIDI clip they recorded or wrote. Examples - "humanize this hat", "voice these chords better", "the timing is too stiff", "fix the voice leading on the strings".
mixer-doctor
Use when the user describes a mix problem ("muddy", "harsh", "no headroom", "vocals get lost", "kick and bass fighting") or asks for a mix audit. Diagnoses the issue from session state and proposes specific corrective moves with EQ, compression, sends, and routing.
producer-mode
Use when the user asks to set up tracks, pick instruments, scaffold an arrangement, build a project template, or describe a track they want to make in Ableton Live. Examples - "make me a 4-bar lo-fi loop", "set up a film score template", "I want to start a hip-hop beat in C minor".
reference-match
Use when the user references another track they want to emulate the vibe/sound of. Examples - "make this sound like Ólafur Arnalds", "I want a Tame Impala vibe", "match the mix of Kendrick's Money Trees". Translates artist/track references into actionable production decisions.
