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 | $0.00057 | $0.11136 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.04454 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.02227 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.01114 |
Grade A, and why
seed-cli scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Seed CLI Skill
Scope: Document operations on Seed Hypermedia via the Seed CLI — creating, updating, reading documents and comments, searching, and managing drafts. For low-level gRPC access to a local Seed daemon, use the seed-grpc skill. For LLM-powered PDF import see the seed-pdf-import skill.
Protected production documentation
Never use this skill to create, update, delete, import or directly publish content in the hyper.media documentation
space (hm://z6MkfzKMhF9k1oPaQsShWAg8xJzbWf5kaZgn1MkeZvhcAsmB), even when its signing identity is available locally.
Its content is derived from the hypermedia/ Markdown and schema files of the latest Seed release. Edit those source
files; the tagged release workflow publishes them. A request for a definition at hyper.media/<path> does not authorize
an immediate publication. Read access and unrelated users' resources served by the same gateway are unaffected. Only an
explicit incident-rollback request permits withdrawing the identified accidental publications.
Prerequisites
1. Ensure CLI is Available and Up-to-Date
The Seed CLI is distributed as the npm package @seed-hypermedia/cli (binary: seed-cli).
Use npx to run it — this avoids global install permission issues and always fetches the latest version:
npx -y @seed-hypermedia/cli@latest --help
Throughout this skill, replace any seed-cli <command> with npx -y @seed-hypermedia/cli@latest <command>. The -y
flag auto-confirms the install prompt. npx caches the package locally after first run, so subsequent calls are fast.
If the user already has seed-cli installed globally (check with command -v seed-cli), you may use seed-cli
directly instead of the npx form.
2. Check Available Keys
The CLI resolves signing keys from two sources (vault support requires @seed-hypermedia/cli >= 0.2.0 — the
npx ...@latest form always qualifies):
- The vault (
vault.json) — the encrypted identity store used by the daemon and desktop app. Identities created in the desktop app (the user's real accounts) are available for signing. Read-only: the CLI never modifies the vault. Discovery order:--vault <path>flag →SEED_VAULT_PATHenv var →vaultPathin~/.seed/config.json(seed-cli config --vault-path <path>) → well-known locations (Linux desktop app:~/.config/Seed/daemon/vault.json,Seed-devwith--dev; macOS:~/Library/Application Support/Seed/daemon/vault.json; bare daemon:~/.mtt/vault.json). The vault's decryption secret (KEK) comes from the OS keychain (serviceseed-hypermedia-vault-secret-v2); on headless machines passSEED_VAULT_KEK(base64, 32 bytes) directly — treat it like a private key. - The OS keyring — legacy store, still used for keys the CLI creates itself (
key generate/key import). Serviceseed-daemon-main(mainnet) orseed-daemon-dev(devnet).
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.

seed-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository seed-hypermedia/seed (59 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 11,136 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-23.
