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 | $0.00068 | $0.03093 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.01546 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00619 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00309 |
Grade A, and why
power-budget-calculator 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
92% identical to power-budget-calculator — 15 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.

Power Budget Calculator
Estimates power consumption and battery life for embedded projects.
Resources
- scripts/calculate_power.py - Python calculator with component database, duty cycle support, battery life estimation
- references/component-database.md - Comprehensive current draw reference from datasheets
- assets/example-project.json - Sample project configuration
Quick Start
Run the calculator interactively:
uv run scripts/calculate_power.py --interactive
Or calculate for a single component:
uv run scripts/calculate_power.py --component ESP32 --mode deep_sleep --duty 95
Load a project configuration:
uv run scripts/calculate_power.py --json assets/example-project.json --output report.md
List all components in database:
uv run scripts/calculate_power.py --list
When to Use
- "How long will my battery last?"
- "What size battery do I need?"
- "How much current does my project draw?"
- Planning battery-powered projects
- Optimizing for low power
Workflow
Step 1: Gather Component List
Ask user for:
- Microcontroller (model and operating mode)
- All sensors and modules
- Displays
- Actuators (motors, LEDs, relays)
- Communication (WiFi, Bluetooth, LoRa)
- Operating profile (always on vs. duty cycle)
Step 2: Calculate Power Budget
Run scripts/calculate_power.py --interactive for guided calculation, or use this template:
# Power Budget: [Project Name]
## Operating Conditions
- Supply Voltage: [V]
- Operating Modes: [Active/Sleep cycles]
- Duty Cycle: [X% active, Y% sleep]
## Component Current Draw
### Always-On Components
| Component | Voltage | Current | Power | Notes |
|-----------|---------|---------|-------|-------|
| [name] | [V] | [mA] | [mW] | [conditions] |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| **Subtotal** | - | **[mA]** | **[mW]** | - |
### Active Mode Only
| Component | Voltage | Current | Power | Duty % |
|-----------|---------|---------|-------|--------|
| [name] | [V] | [mA] | [mW] | [%] |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| **Subtotal** | - | **[mA]** | **[mW]** | - |
### Peak Current Events
| Event | Current | Duration | Frequency |
|-------|---------|----------|-----------|
| [WiFi TX] | [mA] | [ms] | [per hour] |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
## Power Calculations
### Average Current
I_avg = (I_active × t_active + I_sleep × t_sleep) / t_total I_avg = ([X]mA × [Y]s + [Z]mA × [W]s) / [T]s I_avg = [result] mA
### Battery Life Estimate
Capacity: [X] mAh Efficiency factor: 0.8 (80% usable) Effective capacity: [X × 0.8] mAh
What ships with it
4 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.

power-budget-calculator is a skill published in the GitHub repository wedsamuel1230/electronic-mcp-server (1 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 3,093 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to power-budget-calculator, differing in 15 lines, and is treated as a copy.
