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 | $0.00030 | $0.04146 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.01658 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00829 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00415 |
Grade A, and why
generate-backlog 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 397 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Generate Backlog — MEGA Ticket Pipeline
Scan the codebase and roadmap files, GROUP findings by component/theme into MEGA tickets (20-40 pts each, with phases and binary DoD), deduplicate against Linear, and optionally batch-create to maintain a 400+ pt backlog stock.
Philosophy: 10 MEGA tickets at 30 pts > 100 micro-tickets at 3 pts. Each ticket = a meaningful feature or improvement arc, not a single file fix.

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.

generate-backlog is a skill published in the GitHub repository stoa-platform/stoa (9 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 4,146 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.
