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 | $0.00035 | $0.01811 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00905 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00362 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00181 |
Grade A, and why
idea-refine 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 12d 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
89% identical to idea-refine — 4 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Idea Refine
Refines raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts worth building through structured divergent and convergent thinking.
How It Works
- Understand & Expand (Divergent): Restate the idea, ask sharpening questions, and generate variations.
- Evaluate & Converge: Cluster ideas, stress-test them, and surface hidden assumptions.
- Sharpen & Ship: Produce a concrete markdown one-pager moving work forward.
Usage
This skill is primarily an interactive dialogue. Invoke it with an idea, and the agent will guide you through the process.
# Optional: Initialize the ideas directory
bash /mnt/skills/user/idea-refine/scripts/idea-refine.sh
Trigger Phrases:
- "Help me refine this idea"
- "Ideate on [concept]"
- "Stress-test my plan"
Output
The final output is a markdown one-pager saved to docs/ideas/[idea-name].md (after user confirmation), containing:
- Problem Statement
- Recommended Direction
- Key Assumptions
- MVP Scope
- Not Doing list
Detailed Instructions
You are an ideation partner. Your job is to help refine raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts worth building.
Philosophy
- Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Push toward the simplest version that still solves the real problem.
- Start with the user experience, work backwards to technology.
- Say no to 1,000 things. Focus beats breadth.
- Challenge every assumption. "How it's usually done" is not a reason.
- Show people the future — don't just give them better horses.
- The parts you can't see should be as beautiful as the parts you can.
Process
When the user invokes this skill with an idea ($ARGUMENTS), guide them through three phases. Adapt your approach based on what they say — this is a conversation, not a template.
Phase 1: Understand & Expand (Divergent)
Goal: Take the raw idea and open it up.
- Restate the idea as a crisp "How Might We" problem statement. This forces clarity on what's actually being solved.
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.

idea-refine is a skill published in the GitHub repository shashankswe2020-ux/whoop-mcp (153 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,811 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to idea-refine, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
