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 | $0.00052 | $0.00450 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00225 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00090 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
author-anki-cards 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.
What it actually says
Author Anki Cards
Quick rules
- Pass
profileIdon every write tool. - Use official Anki concepts only: deck, note type, note, card, tag, media.
- Inspect unfamiliar structures with
list_note_types,get_note_type_schema,search_notes, andget_notes. - Run
ensure_deckbefore the first write into a new deck. - Never release cards with
set_note_cards_suspended(suspended=false)before explicit user approval in natural language. - Revise an existing review-pending note with
update_note; do not invent a second draft object in the prompt. - Use batch tools only when item-by-item outcomes are actually needed.
Pick the workflow
- One new note:
list_note_types -> get_note_type_schema -> ensure_deck -> add_note -> open_note_preview -> update_note|delete_note|set_note_cards_suspended
- Many new notes:
list_note_types -> get_note_type_schema -> ensure_deck -> add_notes_batch -> open_note_preview for a sample -> delete_notes_batch|set_note_cards_suspended
- Revise after user feedback:
get_notes -> update_note -> open_note_preview
- Recover after interruption:
search_notes -> get_notes -> open_note_preview
When to read references
- Read references/operations.md when you need concrete example payloads.
- If field usage is unclear, inspect real example notes before writing new content.
Failure handling
INVALID_ARGUMENT: fix note fields or note type mismatches.CONFLICT: refresh note state and retry with the currentexpectedModTimestampor a newclientRequestId.PROFILE_SCOPE_MISMATCH: retry against the correct profile.NOT_FOUND: create the deck first, refresh note IDs, or verify the note type exists.
What ships with it
2 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.

author-anki-cards is a skill published in the GitHub repository yama662607/anki-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 450 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
