Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00046 | $0.01661 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00830 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00332 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00166 |
Grade A, and why
cost 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/cost -- Session & Campaign Cost Explorer
When to Use
/cost-- current session cost and burn rate/cost today-- today's total spend/cost week-- this week's spend/cost campaign {slug}-- total spend for a specific campaign/cost all-- lifetime cost summary- When /do routes "how much", "what's the cost", "spending", "tokens", "burn rate"
Inputs
Optional arguments parsed from user message:
today-- filter to today's sessionsweek-- filter to last 7 dayscampaign {slug}-- filter to a specific campaignall-- show all-time data- No argument -- show current session
Protocol
Step 1: READ REAL DATA
Run the session-tokens.js script to get real token data:
node scripts/session-tokens.js # current/latest session
node scripts/session-tokens.js --today # today's sessions
node scripts/session-tokens.js --all # all sessions (use for week/all/campaign)
Also read:
.planning/telemetry/cost-tracker-state.jsonfor live burn rate.planning/telemetry/session-costs.jsonlfor campaign attributionscripts/pricing.jsonto show which pricing is being used
If session-tokens.js is not available or fails, fall back to session-costs.jsonl
data and clearly mark output as "(estimated)".
Step 2: RENDER BASED ON SCOPE
Current session (/cost with no args):
=== Session Cost Report ===
Session: {sessionId (first 8 chars)}
Started: {relative time} ({absolute time})
Duration: {minutes} min
Tokens:
Input: {N} tokens
Output: {N} tokens
Cache creation: {N} tokens
Cache read: {N} tokens
Total: {N} tokens
Cost: ${total}
Burn rate: ${rate}/min
Messages: {N} ({N} main + {N} across {N} subagents)
Model breakdown:
claude-opus-4-6: {N} messages (${cost}, {pct}% of spend)
claude-haiku-4-5: {N} messages (${cost}, {pct}% of spend)
Cache efficiency: {pct}% of input tokens served from cache
(Higher = more cost-efficient. Cache reads cost 10x less than fresh input.)
Pricing source: scripts/pricing.json (version {version})
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.

cost is a skill published in the GitHub repository SethGammon/Citadel (916 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,661 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
