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 | $0.00054 | $0.00346 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00138 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00069 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00035 |
Grade A, and why
claude-orator 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.
What it actually says
Claude Orator
Make prompts measurably better before sending them.
When to Use
Dispatching subagents → Run the prompt through orator_optimize first. Better prompt = less back-and-forth, more accurate results.
Writing system prompts → SKILL.md files, agent instructions, tool descriptions. Small improvements compound over many invocations.
Prompt feels vague or under-specified → Score it. Orator identifies weak dimensions and applies targeted techniques.
Quick Reference
orator_optimize(prompt: "...", intent?: "code|analysis|creative|extraction|system", techniques?: ["xml-tags", "few-shot"])
Output: Before score → techniques applied → optimized prompt → after score.
Already good? One-line confirmation: 🪶 ━━ already well-structured (8.4)
When to Skip
Skip for trivial prompts, simple questions, or prompts already scoring above 7.0. The overhead isn't worth it for single-step instructions.
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Optimizing everything | Focus on high-leverage: subagent prompts, system prompts |
| Ignoring the score delta | Close before/after scores mean the prompt was already good |
Not using techniques override |
When you know which techniques apply, force them |
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.

claude-orator is a skill published in the GitHub repository Vvkmnn/claude-orator-mcp (2 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 346 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
