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

fak 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 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.

What it actually says

Copilot instructions

The canonical agent instructions for this repo are in AGENTS.md — read it first for build/test/run, the repo map, and the rules. Curated doc map: llms.txt. Contributor contract: CONTRIBUTING.md.

Must-know rules (enforced below the agent layer):

  • Delegate substantive work and keep the coordinator context clean — use guarded headless agents or equivalent isolated workers for investigation, implementation, tests, and review. Keep only decisions and compact witnessed evidence in the primary context; independently verify worker effects before landing or reporting them. Direct work is for lightweight coordination and truly trivial tasks. See AGENTS.md.
  • Default is to ship — when the tree is green (make ci), commit AND push unprompted; decide from the work in front of you, you don't wait to be asked. The rules below gate that default (stay on trunk, commit by path, never force-push); if a guard refuses (OFF_TRUNK) or a peer's merge is mid-flight, reconcile in place or stop.
  • Work directly on the trunk (main); never open a feature branch or worktree — the trunk guard refuses off-trunk commits (OFF_TRUNK). The one sanctioned exception: a detached per-worker worktree that lands on main via fak worktree worker prepare|land|reap (build isolation, #1334) — detached and lane-serialized, it is not a branch and never trips OFF_TRUNK. Feature branches and off-trunk commits stay forbidden.
  • Commit by explicit path (git commit -- <paths>, never git add -A); sign off with git commit -s (DCO).
  • Keep code comments succinct: omit comments that restate syntax or narrate each step. Preserve comments that explain non-obvious rationale, invariants, safety, concurrency, compatibility, or exported APIs; prefer clearer code and put durable tutorials in docs.
  • The Go module is the repository root — run go commands from the clone root (go install github.com/anthony-chaudhary/fak/cmd/fak@latest resolves directly).
Changes

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.
