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 | $0.00063 | $0.01161 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00464 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00232 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00116 |
Grade A, and why
kickoff scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 20d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Session Kickoff
Orient quickly at the start of a session: load project context, check git state, surface what needs attention, and pick a focus. Keep the briefing under ~400 words.
Steps
1. Load project context
Read AGENTS.md for project conventions (or CLAUDE.md if the project has no
AGENTS.md) — project description, stack, and conventions. This is the
contract for the session. Read role assignments from .rad/config.yml:
node harness/cli.js config get roles.architect # also roles.developers, roles.designers
2. Check git state
git branch --show-current
git status --short
git log --oneline @{u}.. 2>/dev/null || true
Report the current branch, any uncommitted changes, and how far ahead/behind the remote you are.
Branch guard. Resolve the default branch and warn if you're on it — RAD work
happens on rad/ branches, never directly on the protected default branch:
BASE=$(scripts/get-default-branch.sh)
⚠️ You're on
{BASE}. RAD work belongs on arad/[feature]branch.
- New work:
/rad-plan "<feature>"cuts the branch for you.- Resuming:
node harness/cli.js checkout <feature>.
Stop the briefing on this warning until it's resolved.
3. Report active plans
scripts/rad-status.sh
Dormant runs first. If the output has a ── Dormant Runs (needs a decision) ──
section, report it ABOVE every plan-status group — a dormant run is a deliver that
is parked awaiting a human decision, and nothing moves until someone makes it. For
each entry, give the feature, what it stopped on (reason and wave), the decision it
is asking for, and the resume hint exactly as printed:
rad deliver <feature> --resume --context "<what you decided>". The section is
absent when nothing is parked — then say nothing about dormant runs. A
warning: stop-status <feature>: … line means that feature's event log could not
be read; mention it so it gets looked at.
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.

kickoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository seanrreid/RAD_framework (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,161 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
merge-batch
Prepare and merge an owner-selected PR batch with contributor credit and exact-candidate admission. Use for a pasted PR list; combined focused validation is diagnostic, and every actual landing still requires its applicable checks and authorization.
prowler-commit
Creates professional git commits following conventional-commits format. Trigger: When creating commits, after completing code changes, when user asks to commit.
gh-auth-isolation
Safely manage multiple GitHub identities (EMU + personal) in agent workflows.
comet-github
A routing guide for Comet-related GitHub work. It directs requests about pull requests, issues, CI failures, ideas, and fixes to the appropriate review or implementation process.
github-skill
Work with GitHub via the gh CLI — clone repositories, create/list/merge pull requests, create/list issues, and run any other gh command (API calls, workflow runs, releases, repo administration). List operations return parsed JSON.
release-helper
Ensures configuration and code changes are released correctly. Use PROACTIVELY whenever you edit config.json, change any setting, or fix a configuration bug in this project, so the change reaches production.
