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 | $0.00044 | $0.00918 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00459 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00184 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
parallel-debugging 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 4d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to parallel-debugging — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Parallel Debugging
Framework for debugging complex issues using the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) methodology with parallel agent investigation.
When to Use This Skill
- Bug has multiple plausible root causes
- Initial debugging attempts haven't identified the issue
- Issue spans multiple modules or components
- Need systematic root cause analysis with evidence
- Want to avoid confirmation bias in debugging
Hypothesis Generation Framework
Generate hypotheses across 6 failure mode categories:
1. Logic Error
- Incorrect conditional logic (wrong operator, missing case)
- Off-by-one errors in loops or array access
- Missing edge case handling
- Incorrect algorithm implementation
2. Data Issue
- Invalid or unexpected input data
- Type mismatch or coercion error
- Null/undefined/None where value expected
- Encoding or serialization problem
- Data truncation or overflow
3. State Problem
- Race condition between concurrent operations
- Stale cache returning outdated data
- Incorrect initialization or default values
- Unintended mutation of shared state
- State machine transition error
4. Integration Failure
- API contract violation (request/response mismatch)
- Version incompatibility between components
- Configuration mismatch between environments
- Missing or incorrect environment variables
- Network timeout or connection failure
5. Resource Issue
- Memory leak causing gradual degradation
- Connection pool exhaustion
- File descriptor or handle leak
- Disk space or quota exceeded
- CPU saturation from inefficient processing
6. Environment
- Missing runtime dependency
- Wrong library or framework version
- Platform-specific behavior difference
- Permission or access control issue
- Timezone or locale-related behavior
Evidence Collection Standards
What Constitutes Evidence
| Evidence Type | Strength | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Direct | Strong | Code at file.ts:42 shows if (x > 0) should be if (x >= 0) |
| Correlational | Medium | Error rate increased after commit abc123 |
| Testimonial | Weak | "It works on my machine" |
| Absence | Variable | No null check found in the code path |
What ships with it
1 file 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.

parallel-debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository RudyCity/superagent (21 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 918 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to parallel-debugging, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
