What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00079 | $0.00468 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00234 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
shep-kit:fast-loop 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 8d 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.
What it actually says
Fast Loop — Rapid Iteration Mode
Skip TDD, builds, and commits. Just edit code, let the dev server hot-reload, and iterate based on user feedback.
What This Overrides
This skill temporarily suspends these CLAUDE.md mandates for the duration of the session:
- TDD — no tests required during fast-loop
- Spec-driven — no spec required, user drives direction
- Storybook stories — not required during iteration
- Commit format — no commits until user says "done"
Rules
- Edit code only — no
pnpm test, nopnpm build, nogit commit - Small, focused changes — one thing at a time so the user can verify each step
- Trust the dev server — assume hot-reload picks up changes (Next.js, Vite, etc.)
- Wait for user feedback — after each change, pause and let the user check the result
- No over-engineering — do exactly what the user asks, nothing more
- When user says "done" — remind them to run
pnpm validateand tests before committing
Flow
User describes change → Edit files → User checks dev server → Repeat
Exit
When the user is satisfied, suggest:
pnpm validate # lint + format + typecheck
pnpm test:unit # catch regressions
Then offer /shep-kit:commit-pr or /commit to wrap up.
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.

shep-kit:fast-loop is a skill published in the GitHub repository shep-ai/shep (248 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 468 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
