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 | $0.00064 | $0.03661 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01831 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00732 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00366 |
Grade A, and why
add-telegram-swarm 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 11d 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.

Add Agent Swarm to Telegram
This skill adds Agent Teams (Swarm) support to an existing Telegram channel. Each subagent in a team gets its own bot identity in the Telegram group, so users can visually distinguish which agent is speaking.
Prerequisite: Telegram must already be set up via the /add-telegram skill. If src/telegram.ts does not exist or TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN is not configured, tell the user to run /add-telegram first.
How It Works
- The main bot receives messages and sends lead agent responses (already set up by
/add-telegram) - Pool bots are send-only — each gets a Grammy
Apiinstance (no polling) - When a subagent calls
send_messagewith asenderparameter, the host assigns a pool bot and renames it to match the sender's role - Messages appear in Telegram from different bot identities
Subagent calls send_message(text: "Found 3 results", sender: "Researcher")
→ MCP writes IPC file with sender field
→ Host IPC watcher picks it up
→ Assigns pool bot #2 to "Researcher" (round-robin, stable per-group)
→ Renames pool bot #2 to "Researcher" via setMyName
→ Sends message via pool bot #2's Api instance
→ Appears in Telegram from "Researcher" bot
Prerequisites
1. Create Pool Bots
Tell the user:
I need you to create 3-5 Telegram bots to use as the agent pool. These will be renamed dynamically to match agent roles.
- Open Telegram and search for
@BotFather- Send
/newbotfor each bot:
- Give them any placeholder name (e.g., "Bot 1", "Bot 2")
- Usernames like
myproject_swarm_1_bot,myproject_swarm_2_bot, etc.- Copy all the tokens
- Add all bots to your Telegram group(s) where you want agent teams
Wait for user to provide the tokens.
2. Disable Group Privacy for Pool Bots
Tell the user:
Important: Each pool bot needs Group Privacy disabled so it can send messages in groups.
For each pool bot in
@BotFather:
- Send
/mybotsand select the bot- Go to Bot Settings > Group Privacy > Turn off
Then add all pool bots to your Telegram group(s).
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.

Other skills, from other repositories
host-ssh
Run PowerShell on a GuideAnts SSH machine (Windows OpenSSH) via the machine registry in the guide Environment. Use when the user needs host OS tasks — drives, dotnet, Playwright, processes — not file I/O on paths already visible in the workspace file list.
html-craft
Create and verify single-file interactive HTML pages in the sandbox: build or edit the file, then prove the result with headless-Chromium screenshots, in-page DOM/geometry assertions, and JS-error capture (Playwright). No GPU, no service, no network. Use when the user wants an HTML page, animation, demo, dashboard, or…
mssql-query
Query the stack's SQL Server (mssql-express) from the sandbox: probe, databases, tables, schema, sample rows, read-only SQL, and opt-in DML/DDL. Connection string comes from GADBCONNECTIONSTRING in the Guide's Environment variables. Use when the user wants to inspect or query the GuideAnts database.
audiocpp-diarize
Speaker diarization: figure out who spoke when in a recording and produce a speaker-labeled transcript, by spawning a private audio.cpp engine with the sortformer diarization model and labeling each turn with the local ASR engine. Use when the user asks to diarize a meeting or call recording, separate or identify…
audiocpp-asr-extended
Transcription beyond the GuideAnts wrapper contract: transcribe workspace files by path (no upload, no 50 MB gateway cap), pass language hints, and sideload other qwen3-family ASR snapshots from Hugging Face through the wrapper. Use when a transcription needs a language hint, the file is large, or the user wants to…
audiocpp-host-tts
Synthesize speech against the user's own host-native audiocppserver build (outside the GuideAnts container) — including model families the container binary lacks, like Kokoro or Parakeet forks. TTS only. Use when the user says they run their own audio.cpp server or asks for a family the container build cannot load.
