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 | $0.00491 | $0.00491 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00196 | $0.00196 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00098 | $0.00098 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00049 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
todo2code 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 37 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Managed standard sources
The local adoption manifest, lock and package are authoritative. Remote links are navigation only and must not be fetched or executed at runtime.
- Local adoption manifest: .governance/manifest.json
- Local adoption lock: .governance/manifest.lock.json
- Local package map: .governance/package-manifest.json
- Canonical instructions: AGENTS template
- Host contract: agent-hosts.json
- Immutable adoption/updater: create_adoption_lock.py
This repository follows the wellmanifest/new-project policy-as-code standard.
Same fail-closed contract as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md and the Cursor
rule. Copilot Chat and the Copilot coding agent load this file automatically.
- Read
AGENTS.mdbefore proposing any change. - Allocate tickets only through
./project/new-ticket.sh. Never copy aproject/ticket-NNNdirectory and never invent a ticket number. - Work on a branch or worktree whose name contains
ticket-NNN. Never write onmainor a dirty primary checkout. - Stay inside that ticket's
intent.jsonallowedPaths. - Run
./scripts/install-agent-hosts.shonce per clone so.githooks/pre-commitis active, then./project/governance-check.shbefore claiming done.
Suggestions that skip these steps are rejected by the pre-commit hook and by the
governance / enforce CI job. Markdown is not a substitute for either.
Bounded session controls: respect the ticket's maxActiveMinutes, create a
checkpoint before a context or tool boundary, and leave a handoff then
stop after a deterministic failure instead of retrying indefinitely.
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.
