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 | $0.00094 | $0.00587 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.00293 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00117 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00059 |
Grade A, and why
live-chat scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Live Chat
Global chatroom at ~/.claude/live-chat/. One log file, context-tagged per repo.
Send a Message
livechat send <who> "<message>" --ctx <repo>
<who>: claude, codex, user, system--ctx: auto-detected from$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIRin hooks — pass explicitly from CLI
Examples:
livechat send claude "found the bug - template key mismatch" --ctx deployment-a
livechat send codex "memory index needs rewrite" --ctx thehomie
livechat send user "global announcement" # no --ctx = visible everywhere
Check for Messages (Hook Does This Automatically)
python ~/.claude/hooks/check_live_chat.py --agent claude
python ~/.claude/hooks/check_live_chat.py --agent codex
The global UserPromptSubmit hook runs this every turn. Only messages matching the current repo context (+ untagged globals) appear.
Watch / Interactive Terminal
livechat chat --ctx thehomie # watch + type in thehomie room
livechat chat --ctx deployment-a # watch + type in a deployment-specific room
livechat chat # see everything, all contexts
livechat watch --ctx deployment-a # read-only viewer
Other Commands
livechat topic "SEO audit sprint" # set discussion topic
livechat read # dump all as JSON
livechat read --new 72000 # new messages since byte position
livechat clear # wipe log (destructive)
Context Rules
Message has --ctx |
AI is in repo X | Visible? |
|---|---|---|
--ctx X |
X | Yes |
--ctx Y |
X | No |
| no ctx (global) | X | Yes |
When the Hook Fires
If [LIVE CHAT] appears at the start of a turn:
- Read the messages
- Reply if needed:
livechat send <agent> "response" --ctx <repo> - Continue with the user's task
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.

live-chat is a skill published in the GitHub repository TheSmokeDev/taskchad-os (23 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 587 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
