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.

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 | $0.01202 | $0.01202 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00601 | $0.00601 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00240 | $0.00240 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00120 | $0.00120 |
Grade A, and why
shine 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 2d 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 — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build, Test & Lint
# Build
cargo build
cargo build --release # binary at target/release/shine
# Run (dev)

typos
Pre-commit runs all of the above on every commit. All must pass before committing.
Architecture
Cargo workspace with two publishable crates:
shine-cli(workspace root; sources incli/) — theshinebinary (Clap-based, async with Tokio)shine-core(utils/) — UI-agnostic shared library withutils::migration::sync_table, a TOML comment-preserving table updater
Preset files under the workspace-root presets/ directory are compiled into the binary via rust_embed (PresetAssets in cli/src/presets.rs). cli/build.rs registers cargo:rerun-if-changed=presets so cargo re-embeds when preset files change.
Command routing
main.rs → Commands enum → module handlers:
| Top-level command | Handler module |
|---|---|
shell list/install/uninstall |
cli/src/shells/ |
app list/install/uninstall |
cli/src/apps/ |
update / upgrade |
cli/src/update_check.rs |
check |
cli/src/check.rs |
Shell preset install flow
presets::extract_prefix("shell[/category]", presets_dir)— unpacks embedded.shfiles to~/.shine/presets/shell/, sets executable bitbin_links::link_executables(bin_dir, sources)— creates flat symlinks in~/.shine/bin/shells::append_path_to_shell_config— appends a sentinel-guardedexport PATHblock to~/.zshrc(or equivalent); Fish usesfish_add_path
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.

shine copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository biulight/shine (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,202 tokens to every session, about $0.0060 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
