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

agentic-net-examples 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 9d 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

This repository is a curated collection of validated, build-tested C# examples for Aspose.PDF for .NET (26.9.0) targeting net10.0.

The canonical coding-agent guide is AGENTS.md at the repository root, and there is one per category folder. Read those first before suggesting changes.

When suggesting code in this repository

  • Match the style of the surrounding .cs files. They are self-contained dotnet new console examples, not a multi-file project.
  • Use fully-qualified Aspose.Pdf.* types (e.g. Aspose.Pdf.Drawing.Path) so System.IO.Path does not shadow them.
  • Wrap every IDisposable in a using block. Document in particular must be disposed deterministically.
  • Aspose.PDF uses 1-based page indexing (pdfDoc.Pages[1] is the first page). Off-by-one is the most common bug.
  • Write errors to Console.Error.WriteLine with the Error: prefix. Successful operations log to Console.WriteLine.

Do not

  • Edit AGENTS.md, index.json, or README.md by hand. They are regenerated by an external generator and your edits will be overwritten.
  • Add a .csproj per example. CI synthesises one at validation time; shipping one would conflict.
  • Suggest API calls that do not exist in Aspose.PDF package version 26.9.0. If you are not sure, check index.json for the apis_used field on neighbouring examples in the same category.

Where to look for context

  • AGENTS.md -- repository-wide conventions, anti-patterns, domain knowledge.
  • <category>/AGENTS.md -- category-specific tips and the file table.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md -- the human-oriented contribution rules.
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.
