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 | $0.00046 | $0.04996 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.02498 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00999 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00500 |
Grade A, and why
wayfinder 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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 547 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Wayfinder
A loose idea has arrived — too big for one agent session, and wrapped in fog: the way from here to the destination isn't visible yet.
Wayfinding finds that route rather than charging at the destination. It charts a shared map of decision tickets, then resolves those decisions one at a time until the route is clear.
The destination may be a Spec, a durable decision, or a change made in place. Naming it is the first act of charting because it determines scope.
Session Independence
Assume no prior conversational or agent-session state.
Recover every correctness-critical input from the explicit invocation, repository, and durable tracker artifacts before acting.
Prior-session summaries or remembered conclusions are routing context only and must not substitute for durable evidence.
If required durable state cannot be recovered, report the missing artifact rather than infer it.
Project Delivery Focus Guard
$project-delivery-management owns project-level delivery focus. $wayfinder owns Wayfinder planning and must not copy, infer, or persist competing focus state.
The guard applies differently to the two invocation modes:
- Chart the Map is capture/planning and is not focus-gated. A new map may be charted while another Wayfinder is focused. Charting must not establish, switch, broaden, or otherwise change focus, and chart-time research needed to form the map remains allowed.
- Work Through the Map is substantive advancement and is focus-gated before any durable mutation, including claiming a decision ticket.
Never create a native dependency merely to encode focus or queue preference. Dependency determines eligibility; focus determines intentional project WIP.
Guard Before Substantive Wayfinder Work
When working through an existing map or decision ticket:
- resolve the exact governing Wayfinder map from durable tracker relationships/metadata;
- invoke
$project-delivery-managementreconcileso completed or directly ineligible focused maps are reduced before authorization; - invoke
$project-delivery-managementguard <Wayfinder>; - proceed only after the guard returns
PROJECT DELIVERY GUARD: ALLOWED.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

wayfinder is a skill published in the GitHub repository sponge-b0b/Polaris (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 4,996 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 2026-08-31.
