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 | $0.00034 | $0.01284 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00642 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00257 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00128 |
Grade A, and why
manage-channels 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 12d 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.
This is a copy
88% identical to manage-channels — 17 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Manage Channels
Wire messaging channels to agent groups. See docs/isolation-model.md for the full isolation model.
Privilege is a user-level concept, not a channel-level one (see src/db/user-roles.ts, src/access.ts). There is no "main channel" / "main group" — any user can be granted owner or admin (global or scoped to an agent group) via grantRole(), and messages from unknown senders are gated per-messaging-group by unknown_sender_policy (strict | request_approval | public).
Assess Current State
Read the central DB (data/v2.db) — query agent_groups, messaging_groups, messaging_group_agents, users, and user_roles tables. Also check .env for channel tokens and src/channels/index.ts for uncommented imports.
Categorize channels as: wired (has DB entities + messaging_group_agents row), configured but unwired (has credentials + barrel import, no DB entities), or not configured.
If the instance has no owner yet (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user_roles WHERE role='owner' AND agent_group_id IS NULL returns 0), tell the user they should run /init-first-agent first — it stands up the first agent group, promotes the operator to owner, and verifies delivery end-to-end by having the agent DM them. Then return here for any additional channels/groups.
First Channel (No Agent Groups Exist)
Delegate to /init-first-agent. It handles: channel choice, operator identity lookup, DM platform id resolution (with cold-DM or pair-code fallback), agent group creation, wiring, and the welcome DM. Return here afterward for any additional channels.
Wire New Channel
For each unwired channel:
- Read its SKILL.md
## Channel Infofor terminology, how-to-find-id, typical-use, and default-isolation - Ask for the platform ID using the platform's terminology
- Ask the isolation question (see below)
- Register with the appropriate flags
Isolation Question
Present a multiple-choice with a contextual recommendation. The three options:
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.

manage-channels is a skill published in the GitHub repository thmtz/nanoclaw-fleet (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,284 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to manage-channels, differing in 17 lines, and is treated as a copy.
