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 | $0.00074 | $0.00489 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00196 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00098 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
context-distill 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 1mo 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
Load tagged_doc_sources and optional history_observations. Persist:
distilled_intent:{intent[],constraints[],autonomy[],topology[],gaps[]};decision_candidates: explicit/strongly evidenced choices;decision_sources: detected ADRP records;structure_candidates: sourced ownership, components, responsibilities, interfaces, boundaries, gates, entry points, artifacts, and Evidence duties.
Always name those keys literally, including in dry runs.
Procedure
- Use fixtures only in dry-run. Ask about missing priorities, rules, or gaps.
- Read accessible sources. Source location proves provenance, not authority.
- For
ape-decision-record/v1, runadrp --version,adrp validate --target, andadrp assess --target. Preserve identity, fingerprint, lifecycle, scope, authority, and gaps; never redraft it. - Extract only sourced/user-confirmed Intent, obligations, autonomy, topology,
and candidates. Use authority states
authoritative,advisory,conflicting,unknown, oruser-confirmed. - A constraint is not automatically a decision. ASRP candidates are not active
Structure until
context-structurevalidates them. - Classify autonomy as
PROCEED,ALWAYS ASK, orNEVER. - Confirm accuracy; without interaction mark
needs_confirmation. - Diff as
added,modified,removed, andunchanged. Real changes append to.github/intent-changelog.mdwith triggerinitial setup,manual re-distill, ordrift-triggered; dry runs describe the entry only.
Missing/failing ADRP CLI blocks ADRP source processing. Never claim persisted state when SQL fails.
What ships with it
8 files 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.

context-distill is a skill published in the GitHub repository suuus/ape-context (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 489 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
