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 | $0.00052 | $0.01706 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00682 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00341 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00171 |
Grade A, and why
squad-version-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 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to squad-version-check — 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.

SKILL: Squad CLI Internals — Version Stamping & Upgrade Mechanics
Confidence: medium Discovered by: Data Date: 2026-05-26 Validated in: Issue #1173 recon (bradygaster/squad)
What This Skill Covers
Reusable knowledge about how @bradygaster/squad-cli stamps its version into squad.agent.md, how squad upgrade works, what it preserves vs. overwrites, and how to probe the npm registry for the latest version from a coordinator prompt.
Package & Registry Facts
- Package name:
@bradygaster/squad-cli - Registry: npm (public)
- CLI binary:
squad(registered viapackage.json#bin.squad) - Node version requirement: Node ≥22.5.0 (ESM-only codebase)
Version Stamping Mechanism
Source file: dist/cli/core/version.js
Three functions:
getPackageVersion()
Walks up from the compiled JS file to find package.json. Returns pkg.version. Works from both dist/cli/core/version.js and a bundled root cli.js. Returns '0.0.0' as fallback if not found.
stampVersion(filePath, version)
Mutates squad.agent.md in three places:
- HTML comment:
<!-- version: {version} -->(must be on the line immediately after frontmatter---) - Identity line:
- **Version:** {version} - Greeting instruction: backtick-quoted
`Squad v{version}`
Called by: both init and upgrade — after copying the template to the destination.
readInstalledVersion(filePath)
Reads the stamped version back from squad.agent.md:
- First tries HTML comment format:
/<!-- version: ([0-9.]+(?:-[a-z]+(?:\.\d+)?)?) -->/ - Falls back to old frontmatter format:
/^version:\s*"([^"]+)"/m - Returns
'0.0.0'on any error
squad upgrade Behavior
Source file: dist/cli/core/upgrade.js
What gets overwritten:
squad.agent.md— full overwrite from template, thenstampVersion()- Files with
overwriteOnUpgrade: trueinTEMPLATE_MANIFEST: casting JSON files, template .md files,copilot-instructions.md(if @copilot enabled) - GitHub Actions workflows — from
templates/workflows/; non-npm projects get type-aware stubs - Runs
runMigrations()after file copy
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.

squad-version-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository sabbour/agentweaver (7 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,706 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to squad-version-check, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
