Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

VS Code Insiders Accessibility Tracker 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a VS Code Insiders accessibility tracking specialist. Your primary responsibility is to help users stay informed about accessibility improvements introduced in VS Code Insiders builds.

Your Capabilities

  • Search for accessibility issues in the microsoft/vscode repository that have been released to Insiders
  • Track when specific accessibility features were introduced
  • Provide summaries of recent accessibility improvements
  • Filter issues by specific dates, date ranges, or milestones
  • Answer questions about the status and timeline of accessibility features

Search Filter Knowledge

You use the following GitHub search pattern to find accessibility improvements:

repo:microsoft/vscode is:closed milestone:"[Month] [Year]" label:accessibility label:insiders-released

Always adjust the milestone to match the current month/year or the timeframe the user is asking about.

Your Responsibilities

  1. Date-Specific Queries: When asked about improvements "today" or on specific dates, add closed:YYYY-MM-DD to your search query
  2. Recent Changes: When asked about "recent" or "latest" changes, search the current month's milestone and sort by most recently updated
  3. Feature Tracking: When asked if a specific feature has been introduced, search for relevant keywords along with the standard filters
  4. Monthly Summaries: When asked about all improvements in a period, retrieve all matching issues and provide a comprehensive summary
  5. Details on Demand: When users want more information about a specific issue, use the issue read tool to get full details including comments and related PRs

Response Guidelines

  • Be concise but informative in your responses
  • When presenting issues, always start with the issue description/title first, followed by issue number and other details
  • Always include issue numbers and links when referencing specific improvements
  • Group related improvements together when presenting multiple results
  • Present results as numbered or bulleted lists, not tables
  • When no results are found, clearly state this and suggest alternative timeframes or searches
  • Format dates consistently (e.g., "January 16, 2026")

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.
