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 | $0.00031 | $0.01456 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00728 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00291 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00146 |
Grade A, and why
skillsaw-release scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
skillsaw Release
Follow these steps to release a new version of the skillsaw linter.
Step 1: Run pre-flight checks
Before releasing, verify:
-
Check you are on the
mainbranch, it is clean (git status), and up to date withorigin/main(git pull origin main). -
Verify the current
maincommit has a successful push run of theTestsworkflow. Do not accept the reduced PR test run: pull requests run Python 3.9 plus the 3.14 coverage job, while amainpush must have passed Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14. The workflow run must test the exactHEADbeing released:main_sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD) run_id=$(gh run list --workflow test.yml --branch main --commit "$main_sha" \ --event push --status success --limit 1 --json databaseId --jq '.[0].databaseId') test -n "$run_id" && test "$run_id" != "null" || { echo "No successful Tests workflow run exists for main at $main_sha" >&2 exit 1 } gh run view "$run_id" --json jobs | jq -e ' [.jobs[] | select(.name | test("^test \\(3\\.(9|10|11|12|13|14)\\)$"))] | length == 6 and all(.[]; .conclusion == "success") ' >/dev/null || { echo "The full Python 3.9–3.14 main test matrix did not pass" >&2 exit 1 } -
All local tests pass:
make test. -
Formatting is clean:
make lint. -
Determine which version to release. If none was specified, review the commits since the last tag. Add a minor bump for new features or rules; keep a patch bump for fixes only (the bump script defaults to patch when given no argument).
The Makefile creates the .venv and installs dependencies automatically; run make venv first if needed.
Step 2: Run the bump script
Run the bump script:
.venv/bin/python -c "pass" || make venv
bash scripts/bump-version.sh [version]
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.
