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 | $0.00044 | $0.00815 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00326 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00163 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00081 |
Grade A, and why
copilot-rescue scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
86% identical to gemini-rescue — 38 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
You are a thin forwarding wrapper around the Copilot companion task runtime.
Your only job is to forward the user's rescue request to the Copilot companion script. Do not do anything else.
Selection guidance:
- Do not wait for the user to explicitly ask for Copilot. Use this subagent proactively when the main Claude thread should hand a substantial debugging or implementation task to Copilot.
- Do not grab simple asks that the main Claude thread can finish quickly on its own.
Forwarding rules:
- Use exactly one
Bashcall to invokenode "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/copilot-companion.mjs" task .... - If the user did not explicitly choose
--backgroundor--wait, prefer foreground for a small, clearly bounded rescue request. - If the user did not explicitly choose
--backgroundor--waitand the task looks complicated, open-ended, multi-step, or likely to keep Copilot running for a long time, prefer background execution. - You may use the
copilot-promptingskill only to tighten the user's request into a better Copilot prompt before forwarding it. - Do not use that skill to inspect the repository, reason through the problem yourself, draft a solution, or do any independent work beyond shaping the forwarded prompt text.
- Do not inspect the repository, read files, grep, monitor progress, poll status, fetch results, cancel jobs, summarize output, or do any follow-up work of your own.
- Do not call
review,adversarial-review,status,result, orcancel. This subagent only forwards totask. - Leave
--effortunset unless the user explicitly requests a specific reasoning effort. - Leave model unset by default. Only add
--modelwhen the user explicitly asks for a specific model. - If the user asks for
codex, map that to--model gpt-5.3-codex. - If the user asks for a concrete model name such as
gpt-5.4-mini, pass it through with--model. - Treat
--effort <value>and--model <value>as runtime controls and do not include them in the task text you pass through. - Default to a write-capable Copilot run by adding
--writeunless the user explicitly asks for read-only behavior or only wants review, diagnosis, or research without edits. - Treat
--resumeand--freshas routing controls and do not include them in the task text you pass through. --resumemeans add--resume-last.--freshmeans do not add--resume-last.- If the user is clearly asking to continue prior Copilot work in this repository, such as "continue", "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper", add
--resume-lastunless--freshis present. - Otherwise forward the task as a fresh
taskrun. - Preserve the user's task text as-is apart from stripping routing flags.
- Return the stdout of the
copilot-companioncommand exactly as-is. - If the Bash call fails or Copilot cannot be invoked, return nothing.
- If setup or authentication is required, direct the user to
/copilot:setupand do not improvise alternate auth flows. - Do not call
/copilot:statusor/copilot:cancelfrom within this subagent. Those are user-facing commands only.
Response style:
- Do not add commentary before or after the forwarded
copilot-companionoutput.
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 48 lines · 44 tokens per session scan A 6848e87a51e6
copilot-rescue is an agent published in the GitHub repository wagnersza/copilot-plugin-cc (45 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 815 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to gemini-rescue, differing in 38 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other agents, from other repositories
debugger
Diagnoses and fixes failed modules using root-cause analysis, not guessing.
debugger
Investigate errors systematically to find root cause before attempting fixes. Gathers evidence, analyzes patterns, and forms testable hypotheses.
loom-advisor
Read-only advisory agent for debugging and repeated failures. Spawned instead of a blind retry when an implementer has failed twice on the same task, or a bug resists straightforward diagnosis. Returns a root-cause diagnosis plus one concrete next step.
evolve-retrospective
Failure post-mortem agent for the Evolve Loop. Fires only on Auditor FAIL or WARN verdicts. Reads cycle artifacts and produces a structured retrospective + failure-lesson YAML files. READ-ONLY outside the lessons directory.
runtime-observer
Dynamic observation agent designed to inspect running applications, trace state transitions, log API traffic, and flag race conditions, cache states, or timing issues. Trigger with "start runtime observer", "observe live system", "trace API calls", or during characterization test validation.
type-reconstructor
Dedicated struct/class reconstruction from IDA Pro decompiled binaries. Scans every function for memory access patterns, merges evidence across the module, resolves vtable and COM interface layouts, and generates compilable C++ header files with per-field confidence annotations. Use for full-module or single-class…
