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 | $0.00933 | $0.00933 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00373 | $0.00373 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00187 | $0.00187 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00093 | $0.00093 |
Grade B, and why
slicc copilot-instructions.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

SLICC — Code Review
Review webapp/extension/Node/Swift/iOS. Details: docs/review-patterns.md.
1. Error-path coverage
Bound external calls; surface errors. Drain failed preload copies. Test OPFS reloads; reject live wipes.
2. Cross-runtime parity
Check Node ↔ Swift endpoints/signing and browser ↔ extension mounts/VFS/secrets. FS adapters must honor encodings; test Unicode and binary pipelines without byte guessing.
3. UI state preservation
Preserve state across DOM rebuilds. Sprinkle activation places its parked container; serialize open/reload per sprinkle so watcher and command renders cannot overlap.
4. CDP / Chrome edge cases
Foreground the page (Page.bringToFront() / wake renderer) before screenshots or capture.
Validate CDP target + port before trusting them; handle disconnects.
5. Native / macOS permissions
Protected access needs entitlements/usage descriptions, TCC checks, and graceful denial.
File Provider appexes must embed+sign every @rpath framework and declare network
entitlements. Avoid keychain-access-groups without an appex-specific Developer ID profile.
6. Model metadata / provider pipeline
Adobe/Copilot Anthropic proxies: clear native mid-convo flags on rebuild.
Wire messages omit output_config; retain request effort/tools.
Pi system messages hold tools: preserve both on reload/compact/clear; never summarize.
Track reasoning/input/cost/thinking through discovery→API. OpenRouter (Free): all pricing dims zero;
stream refuses IDs not in the live free catalog.
Scoops freeze model at creation; Gelatiere follows
modelFor(leadingRootOf(roster)) on boot/run/leader changes, never global selection.
7. Tests
Test FS limits via real shells, including custom commands.
Require mirrored tests and floors. Check OPFS retries, concurrent append, scoped identity, metadata errors, and ACL/sudo gates.
8. Follower surface wiring parity
Leader broadcasts need follower handlers and UI actions. Check live, follower, and extension boot paths; preserve shared fallbacks; prefer capability checks to float names.
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.

slicc copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ai-ecoverse/slicc (34 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 933 tokens to every session, about $0.0037 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
