Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00407 | $0.00407 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00204 | $0.00204 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00081 | $0.00081 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00041 |
Grade A, and why
awesome-github-copilot AGENTS.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 2d 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.

awesome-github-copilot — Agent Instructions
Repository purpose
Collection of custom instructions, prompts, agents, and skills for GitHub Copilot and other AI tools.
File layout

SKILL.md |
Skills may include:
skills/<skill-name>/references/— reference docs consumed by the skillskills/<skill-name>/assets/— templates and examples consumed by the skill
Status system
All artifact files (instructions, prompts, agents, skills) use a status field in YAML frontmatter. Documentation files in docs/ do not require frontmatter. Status definitions: docs/status-badge-lifecycle.md.
Content rules
Emojis
Emojis in Markdown headers MUST appear after the header text, never before. Reason: screen readers announce emojis first when they lead, disrupting comprehension.
Documentation (docs/)
- Audience: human readers (contributors, users)
- No frontmatter required
- Must contain a status badge
- Explains purpose, usage, and examples for the corresponding artifact
- Extend existing files; do not create new formats
Artifact files (instructions, prompts, agents, skills)
- Audience: AI agents
- YAML frontmatter required with at minimum a
statusfield - Follow existing file patterns in each directory
Toolchain
- remark: Markdown linting and formatting —
npm run check/npm run format - commitlint: Conventional Commits enforcement via custom plugin
- lefthook: Runs remark and commitlint as pre-commit and commit-msg hooks
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.
