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.
npx agentmods add instructions/azure-samples/claude/copilot-instructionsgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Azure-Samples/claudeWhat 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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.01668 | $0.01668 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00834 | $0.00834 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00334 | $0.00334 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00167 | $0.00167 |
Grade B, and why
claude copilot-instructions.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
4. **Confirm before destructive actions.** Always get explicit user OK before: `az cognitiveservices account purge`, `azd down`, `az role assignment delete`, deleting `.azure-cli/`, editing `~/.claude/settings.json`. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository instructions for Copilot (and other AI assistants)
Anyone with Copilot Chat (or another AI assistant that reads
.github/copilot-instructions.mdandAGENTS.md) clones this repo and instantly gets a guided experience. Ask the assistant in plain English — "help me deploy", "my deployment failed", "clean up and free quota" — and it follows the conventions below plus the deep playbook inskills/claude-on-foundry/SKILL.md.
This is the Claude on Foundry Starter Kit (Azure-Samples/claude · aka.ms/claude/start). It provisions a Microsoft Foundry account with Claude model deployments via azd up, and wires the Anthropic SDK + Claude Code CLI to it using Microsoft Entra ID (no API keys).
Repo shape — never assume, always check
- Two IaC variants ship side-by-side. The user picks ONE. Never edit or run both.
- Bicep:
infra-bicep/— runcd infra-bicep && azd up - Terraform:
infra-terraform/— runcd infra-terraform && azd up
- Bicep:
- Two hooks fire automatically during
azd up(defined in each variant'sazure.yaml):preprovision→scripts/preflight-claude.ps1/.sh— marketplace catalog + quota check, hard-fails early on missing offers or insufficient TPM.postprovision→scripts/configure-claude-code.ps1/.sh— writes activator files +.vscode/settings.json+.claude/settings.jsonso Claude Code and the SDK target the new Foundry deployment via Entra ID.
- One canonical catalog tool:
./Get-ClaudeCatalog.ps1. Zero-required-params. Run with-Latestfor the newest generation per family. - One verifier:
scripts/verify-claude-code.ps1— end-to-end smoke test (-SkipClaudeCallfor config-only,-RunPythonSamplefor full SDK round trip).
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.

claude copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Azure-Samples/claude (36 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,668 tokens to every session, about $0.0083 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
