copilot-instructions-template: Command for GitHub Copilot

.github/prompts/operational-profile-create.prompt.md

operational-profile-create is a command for GitHub Copilot from zarfld/copilot-instructions-template. It costs 38 tokens per session (6,045 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A command for creating an Operational Profile, which describes how users are expected to use a software system, with a Markov Chain Usage Model, a mathematical model of transitions between usage states. It follows parts of IEEE 1633-2016, a software reliability standard.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create an operational profile and usage model for software reliability planning and testing.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to describe expected usage when planning reliability work. Without such a model, reliability tests may not reflect how the system is used.

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

operational-profile-create 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 14d 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 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.
