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 | $0.00000 | $0.01720 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00860 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00344 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00172 |
Grade A, and why
critical-analysis 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 10d 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 — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Skill: Critical Analysis (v1.1)
Multi-role critique system for ML experiments and architecture decisions. Based on: Solo Performance Prompting (NAACL 2024), CrewAI role taxonomy, Bermingham 13-agent DA-as-gate, De Bono Six Thinking Hats (Black Hat gating).
When to Load (Auto-Default Behavior)
Before any of the following — run Quick Mode without waiting for user request:
- Architecture or design decision (new integration, refactor, layer change)
- ML experiment launch (clustering, training run, hyperparameter search)
- Infrastructure change (Terraform, Docker, secrets, permissions)
- Parameter choice without prior ablation
Design doc check: for any architectural decision, verify design-doc.md exists and
guides this decision. If missing → [DA]: "No design doc — decisions are ungrounded."
Quick Mode: if all 8 roles return "clear" — proceed. If any role flags CRITICAL — surface it to the user before proceeding.
This is NOT optional. Critique runs before code, not after.
8-Role Taxonomy
| Role | Source | Key Question |
|---|---|---|
| [Security] Security Sentinel | CrewAI Code Security Auditor | Injection, auth, secrets, attack surface — what can be exploited? |
| [Perf] Performance Analyst | CrewAI Performance Optimizer | O(n²), wasted iterations, memory — where is 80% of cost wasted? |
| [DA] Devil's Advocate | Bermingham 13-agent + Black Hat | What is the strongest argument AGAINST this? What breaks in 90 days? |
| [Crutch] Crutch Identifier | Project history: defectoscopy + hub | Is this a reusable pattern or a workaround being institutionalized? |
| [Strategy] Strategic Horizon | DX/tech debt, 6-month view | New external dep / >3 files / new interface contract? Flag only if yes. |
| [ML] ML Experiment Auditor | arxiv 2603.15916, project history | Are we at a plateau? Is this experiment worth running at all? |
| [TestCov] Testing Coverage | Qodo/CodeRabbit/Anthropic tool | Does this change need new tests? Are edge cases covered? |
| [Obs] Observability Enforcer | Google SRE, OpenTelemetry practices | Can we debug this in prod? Are logs/metrics/traces in place? |
What ships with it
4 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.

critical-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository pyramidheadshark/claude-scaffold (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,720 tokens. 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.
