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 | $0.00851 | $0.00851 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00340 | $0.00340 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00170 | $0.00170 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00085 | $0.00085 |
Grade A, and why
presets.dev python.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 today.
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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Python Copilot Instructions: Environments, Types and pytest
Path-specific Copilot instructions for Python. They apply through applyTo and leave .github/copilot-instructions.md in place.
Updated for uv 0.13.7 and Ruff 0.17.4, Nov 2026
Do not upgrade dependencies or the framework version unless the task asks.
Project shape
Read pyproject.toml and the lockfile first. The package layout is either a src/ tree or a flat package. Follow the one that exists. Tests live where the project already puts them, usually tests/.
Entry points, scripts, and the test command come from the project config. Run them with uv run when uv owns the project. Do not invent a virtualenv beside an existing .venv.
Types and boundaries
Type public functions and the data that crosses a process or a network. Prefer a typed model the project already uses, such as a dataclass or a Pydantic model, over a bare dict. Any is a hole. Use it only at a boundary you cannot name yet, and keep it off the return type.
Check optional values before you attribute them. A # type: ignore needs the error code and a reason. Do not blanket-ignore a file.
Errors and I/O
Raise a specific exception the caller can catch. Do not except Exception and then pass. Add context with raise ... from exc when you translate an error.
Async functions do not call time.sleep, requests, or other blocking I/O. Use the async client the project already has. A sync library stays in a thread only when the project already does that and the call is bounded.
Close files and HTTP responses. A with block is the default.
Security
Do not build SQL, shell commands, or HTML by concatenating user input. Use parameters and the project's escape path. Do not log secrets, tokens, or full request bodies. Read credentials from the environment the project already documents, not from a new committed file.
Performance
Stream large files instead of read() into a string. Paginate a query that can grow. Do not hide an N+1 query inside a property that runs on every item. Cache a pure function only when a profile says it matters, and do not cache a value that includes a user id under a global key.
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.

presets.dev python.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository beel-collab/presets.dev (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 851 tokens to every session, about $0.0034 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-11-13.
