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 | $0.00000 | $0.12777 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.05111 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.02555 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.01278 |
Grade A, and why
thurbox-remote-hosts 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 yesterday.
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 — 687 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Thurbox remote SSH and WSL hosts
Working reference indexed by AGENTS.md. The rationale behind these decisions is owned by the docs under docs/; a change that invalidates what this says updates it in the same PR.
Remote SSH & WSL Sessions
Sessions can run on an off-local host while the TUI runs locally: a
remote machine over SSH, or a local WSL distro (wsl.exe). A WSL
distro is modeled as "SSH without the ssh" — the only difference is the
launch prefix (wsl.exe -d <distro> vs ssh <dest>); tmux, git, the agent,
and the worktrees all run inside the distro at native Linux paths, so
everything downstream of the launcher (control-mode protocol, POSIX quoting,
worktree layout) is identical to the SSH path — no wslpath translation. Hosts
are declared as data in ~/.config/thurbox/hosts.toml (seeded commented-out;
fresh install = zero SSH hosts, behaves as before), plus WSL distros are
auto-discovered (wsl.exe -l -q) with no config — on Windows and, via
interop, from inside a distro as well. What discovery never offers is the
distro thurbox is running in: a loopback (HostDef::is_wsl_loopback, keyed
on $WSL_DISTRO_NAME) is this machine, so sessions on it are local. It is
dropped from both halves of the registry — discovered and configured (the
configured one with a warning). A configured host that reaches a sibling but is
named after the current distro (shadows_current_wsl_distro) registers as
wsl:<us> and is therefore indistinguishable from a loopback row. It is kept
exactly as written — it works — and what it costs instead is the repair, for
that one name: the rows under it are the bug's local rows and the host's own
sibling rows at once, so both rewrites are wrong for half of them and neither is
attempted (a notice says so, counted with rows_recorded_on and skipped when
the claimed spelling holds no row). That is one case of a general rule — the
repair never rewrites a spelling a host it still serves registers under,
including a dropped loopback's own free-label name, which auto-discovery may
hand straight to a real sibling. Rows a released build already
relabelled wsl:<us> (being shareable by default, the loopback was mirrored,
and its "host" database was this database, so the pass rewrote our own local
rows as remote) are put back by a one-time repair rather than by the migration:
schema v47 only marks it owed, and session_ops::repair_wsl_loopback_rows
runs it from every startup that opens the database — the TUI boot and the
thurbox-cli entrypoint. Siblings stay ordinary hosts. The seeded file
documents every field inline; the schema:
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.

thurbox-remote-hosts is a skill published in the GitHub repository Thurbeen/thurbox (115 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 12,777 tokens. 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.
