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 | $0.00061 | $0.01829 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00732 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00366 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00183 |
Grade A, and why
knip-deadcode 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 5d 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
100% identical to knip-deadcode — 0 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.

Community Knip Dead Code Detection Best Practices
Comprehensive guide for detecting and removing dead code in JavaScript and TypeScript projects using Knip. Contains 43 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide configuration, CI integration, and cleanup workflows.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Configuring Knip for a new project or monorepo
- Investigating false positives or false negatives
- Setting up CI pipelines to prevent dead code regressions
- Using auto-fix to clean up unused code
- Optimizing Knip performance for large codebases
Rule Categories by Priority
| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Configuration Foundations | CRITICAL | config- |
| 2 | Entry Point Strategy | CRITICAL | entry- |
| 3 | Workspace & Monorepo | HIGH | workspace- |
| 4 | Dependency Analysis | HIGH | deps- |
| 5 | Export Detection | MEDIUM-HIGH | exports- |
| 6 | CI Integration | MEDIUM | ci- |
| 7 | Auto-Fix Workflow | MEDIUM | fix- |
| 8 | Performance Optimization | LOW-MEDIUM | perf- |

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.
