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 | $0.00032 | $0.00295 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00148 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
sibyl-empiricist 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 13d 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.

No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
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.

sibyl-empiricist is a skill published in the GitHub repository Sibyl-Research-Team/AutoResearch-SibylSystem (277 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 295 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
integrity-auditor
Use when the user wants a paper audited for integrity issues — image misuse, numerical anomalies, logical gaps — and needs a reviewable evidence report. Works on external papers (PDF / DOI / arXiv) and on outputs from a local paper-writer run. Single-stage skill.
experiment-suite
Use when the user has a research question and needs a complete experiment package — design document, runnable code, results (measured or simulated with honest provenance), publication-grade figures, structured report. Single-stage, no Python runtime.
ai4s-agent
Use when the user wants an end-to-end AI4S research pipeline — broad direction or specific topic in, full research package out (exploration + literature survey + experiment + paper). Meta-skill that chains the four downstream skills in order. Pure markdown, no Python runtime.
novelty-check
A research process for checking whether a research idea or proposal is genuinely new. It compares the idea's main technical claims with work found in arXiv, Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar, then rates each claim.
publication-figures
Use whenever you generate or review a chart, plot, table, or paper figure in this workspace, including work delegated by paper-writing, literature-survey, and experiment skills. Applies the Open Science publication style, enforces readable final-size layout for figures and tables, and rejects generic diagram-tool…
large-file
Use BEFORE reading any data file that could be large (CSV/TSV, Parquet, HDF5, FITS, NetCDF, NDJSON, genomics FASTQ/FASTA/VCF/BAM, GRIB, ROOT, or big text/simulation logs like VASP OUTCAR). Returns a compact memory pointer — header/schema/shape/sample/key numbers — by introspection and sampling in bounded memory, so…
