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

GPT-RAG release.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 2mo 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

Multi-repository release surfaces

  • Follow .github/copilot-instructions.md and load multi-repo-release.
  • manifest.json is the authoritative list of runtime components and tags.
  • Keep the umbrella manifest.json tag equal to the release branch, changelog, Git tag, and GitHub Release version.
  • Keep manifest.json ailz_tag, .gitmodules infra.branch, and the recorded infra/ submodule gitlink aligned to the same validated AI Landing Zone release commit.
  • Keep PowerShell and shell deployment behavior aligned with the same manifest contract.
  • Validate the exact component and infrastructure combination before changing the platform release pin.
  • Keep changelog, release notes, documentation, and manifest versions consistent.
  • Never infer a version from stale prose or a previous release table.
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.
