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 | $0.00095 | $0.03181 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.01590 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00636 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00318 |
Grade A, and why
alego-find-simplifications 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 3d 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 dsh-find-simplifications — 12 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.

Finding Alego Simplifications
This skill helps turn a broad "find things to simplify" request into evidence-backed Agent Notes that remove or collapse existing harness surface area. It is guidance, not a checklist: follow the code, keep judgment active, and prefer a few well-proven candidates over a pile of thin guesses.
Start With Repo Context
- Read
AGENTS.md, especially the pre-release stance and the conventions (including the tests-are-not-golden-truth and Agent Notes-are-not-golden-truth doctrines), plus docs/defensive-patterns.md and docs/testing.md. - Skim docs/architecture.md before judging anything under
packages/; simplifications that fight the service map or event taxonomy need extra evidence. - Use the Agent Note tree and its rules to understand intentional architecture. The most relevant implemented examples are drop mutable session summary, handle-based session persistence, JSONL-only first-party Session persistence, capability seams, and the twin-adapter Agent Notes.
- Treat dual LLM adapters as intentional by default. Session persistence is different: JSONL is the sole first-party provider, while the backend-neutral service remains available to out-of-tree providers. Do not propose deleting an LLM twin or the persistence seam as "low effort" unless the user explicitly overrides that constraint. Removing an unused method or hook inside a protected seam can still be valid if it does not collapse the protected design.
What Counts As A Strong Candidate
A strong simplification removes, folds, or demotes something real and has clear evidence that the current design costs more than it buys:
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.

alego-find-simplifications is a skill published in the GitHub repository singula-ai/alego (109 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 3,181 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to dsh-find-simplifications, differing in 12 lines, and is treated as a copy.
