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 | $0.00050 | $0.00398 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00159 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00080 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00040 |
Grade A, and why
test-and-merge 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
Test and Merge Workflow
When to Use
- Validating that all tests pass before merging
- Preparing the development branch for merge to main
- Running comprehensive quality checks
Procedure
Step 1: Verify Branch State
git branch
git status
git log --oneline development..HEAD # or HEAD..development
Step 2: Run Full Test Suite
python -m pytest tests/ -v --tb=short
- All 106+ tests must pass
- Zero failures, zero errors
Step 3: Run Lint Check
ruff check src/ tests/
- No lint errors allowed
Step 4: Verify Documentation
- Check
CHANGELOG.mdhas entries for recent changes - Check
README.mdis current - Check
docs/USAGE.mdmatches current APIs
Step 5: Merge Decision
If ALL checks pass:
git checkout main
git merge --no-ff development -m "chore: merge development to main — all tests passing"
git checkout development
If ANY check fails:
- Report failures with details
- Do NOT merge
- List what needs to be fixed
Step 6: Report
## Merge Report
- Tests: PASS/FAIL (count)
- Lint: PASS/FAIL
- Docs: UP TO DATE / NEEDS UPDATE
- Merge: COMPLETED / BLOCKED (reason)

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.

test-and-merge is a skill published in the GitHub repository piyushptiwari1/mcpkernel (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 398 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 2026-08-31.
