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 | $0.01308 | $0.01308 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00523 | $0.00523 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00262 | $0.00262 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00131 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
M3E copilot-instructions.md 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 5d 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.

Copilot Agent Instructions — M3E
Project Overview
M3E is a local-first research thinking support tool built with React + TypeScript (browser) and Node.js (server).
Two environments exist: beta/ (active development) and final/ (stable release).
Active development happens in beta/. Do not modify final/ unless explicitly instructed.
Full project specs are in docs/. Read relevant specs before starting implementation.

— | Review and direction |
Each agent must only commit to its assigned branch.
When in doubt about scope boundary, stop and ask akaghef.
Mandatory Integration Cycle
- Subordinate roles (
visual/data/data2/team) push their work to their role branch (dev-visual/dev-data/dev-data2/dev-team). managemerges those changes intodev-beta.- Before starting the next task, subordinate roles must rebase onto latest
origin/dev-beta. - Do not continue implementation if your branch is not rebased to current
dev-beta.
Permitted Operations (No Confirmation Needed)
All operations are permitted autonomously except those listed below. Proceed without asking for confirmation unless the operation falls into the restricted list.
Session Start Protocol
Enforce this protocol once at session start, then continue normally without re-reading full instructions each step.
- Run
/setrole <role>first (one ofvisual/data/data2/team/manage). - Confirm role and assigned branch.
- Run
git branch --show-currentand verify branch alignment. - Confirm worktree/directory alignment.
- Confirm writable ownership for docs in this cycle.
- For subordinate roles, before new implementation work, run sync check and rebase against latest
origin/dev-beta.
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.

M3E copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository akaghef/M3E (11 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,308 tokens to every session, about $0.0052 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
