Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

fable-turn-check 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 11d 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

Fable Turn Check

Before your final message, answer these four questions. A Stop hook enforces #1 mechanically — the goal is to pass BEFORE it fires.

  1. Is my last paragraph a promise, plan, or permission request? ("I'll…", "Next steps", "Let me know…", "Want me to…?") → Do that work now, with tool calls. Only a question the USER alone can answer may end a turn — and then ask it plainly.
  2. Did anything important appear only mid-turn or in my thinking? (a finding, a failure, a decision) → Restate it in the final message.
  3. Am I claiming done/fixed/passing without having run it? → Run the verification now. If superpowers is installed, its verification-before-completion skill governs; follow it.
  4. Is the claim big? (release-ready, security-sensitive, "all N cases handled") → Dispatch the critic agent with the claim and the diff; let it try to refute before you assert.

Then apply fable-voice to the final message itself.

Changes

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.
