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 | $0.00289 | $0.00289 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00144 | $0.00144 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00058 | $0.00058 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
agent-skills 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 yesterday.
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
- All slides must be written in Markdown format and use the Marp framework.
- Each slide deck must include the following frontmatter:
--- marp: true theme: custom-default paginate: true math: mathjax --- - Use HTML comments (
<!-- -->) for speaker notes. - Use local directives for slide-specific settings:
<!-- _class: lead -->for title slides<!-- _class: invert -->for dark slides<!-- _class: columns -->for two-column layout<!-- _class: small -->for dense content<!-- _paginate: skip -->to hide page number
- Include the Mermaid script tag when using diagrams:
<script type="module"> import mermaid from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@11/dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs'; mermaid.initialize({ startOnLoad: true }); </script> - Store slide decks in the
slides/directory. - Store custom themes in
slides/themes/. - Store images in
slides/img/. - Use CSS variables for theme customization (see
slides/themes/custom-default.css). - Ensure compatibility with Marp CLI v4 for PDF and presentation generation.
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.
