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 | $0.00034 | $0.00365 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00146 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00073 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
worker-research-frontier 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 2mo 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
Worker Research Frontier
Candidate Frontiers
- Dynamic tool router: expose fewer tools to cheap models.
- Compound tools: wrap search-read-edit-test into audited primitives.
- Trajectory eval: score the path, not just the final result.
- Semantic gate: detect "checks passed but meaning is wrong".
- Skill distillation: strong sessions create verified runbooks for cheap sessions.
- Context decay meter: track failure rate against prompt and output size.
External Signals
- Zhihu, "Claude Fable 5 系统泄漏？提示词全拆解" (
https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/2048197182205998344): use only as a secondary structural signal. The public summary says the alleged prompt is large, heavily sectioned, and policy/tool oriented; the actionable lesson is to distill durable project doctrine into skills, validators, and gates instead of stuffing one huge prompt into every worker run. - Do not copy alleged leaked system prompt text into this repository. Extract design patterns only after restating them as repo-specific, testable rules.
Falsifiable Result
A frontier idea has a result only when it improves a measured eval set without increasing blocking false positives beyond the chosen threshold.
When Not To Use
Do not use this for immediate production fixes. Use worker-campaign-cheap-reliability.
Verification
- Add an eval fixture or metric before changing defaults.
- Run
npm testand the relevant stats/audit command.
Provenance and maintenance
Label unproven ideas as candidate until measured on this repository.
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.
- 2mo ago First seen · 38 lines · 34 tokens per session scan A d1de38c9e6a7
worker-research-frontier is a skill published in the GitHub repository sorryorc/mcp-codex-worker (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 365 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
cost-mode
Cost-conscious Claude Code mode. Cuts visible output and routes simple work to cheaper models by enforcing concise responses, smart model routing, and efficient workflow patterns. Keeps full technical accuracy. Activate with /cost-mode or "enable cost mode". Auto-triggers on mentions of budget, cost, tokens, or…
refocusing
Use when a long-running agent may have lost the product outcome, when context was compacted, when work has crossed a major boundary, or when a fresh path-based trace is needed before the next consequential action. Not for fresh-session orientation, waking an idle seat, or checkpoints.
rulesync
Generates and syncs AI rule configuration files (.cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md) across 20+ coding tools from a single source. Use when syncing AI rules, running rulesync commands, importing or generating rule files, or managing shared AI coding configurations.
gitnexus
A code-graph analysis add-on for examining an existing codebase, including symbols, call paths, execution flows, and effects across repositories. It can query GitNexus through its command-line or MCP interfaces.
establishing-project-context
Use when the user asks to establish shared project language, or project work exposes a conflicting, renamed, or deprecated domain term that needs active semantic modeling. Routine small tasks stay on the fast path.
