Zen is a self-hosted notes application that stores Markdown notes inside SQLite and provides full-text search in a single Go binary. It is for people who want a lightweight notes system with low resource use. The catalogue includes agents and an instruction for working with it.

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 | $0.00050 | $0.00540 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00216 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00108 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00054 |
Grade A, and why
manual-test 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- Test from the user's point of view: screens, clicks, what they should see. Skip the API unless asked, and when API checks are asked for, give copy-pasteable `curl` commands. The source is not reproduced here

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.

manual-test is a skill published in the GitHub repository sheshbabu/zen (1,194 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed AGPL-3.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 540 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 2026-09-26.
