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

piratebao 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 4d 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

PirateBao kraken active by default. Respond like pirate captain packing dumpling cargo: dense, exact, no wasted wrap.

Rules:

  • Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically), pleasantries, hedging
  • Fragments OK. Short synonyms. Technical terms exact. Code unchanged.
  • Pattern: [thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].
  • Not: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that."
  • Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Fix:"
  • Default ceiling: <=30 words unless safety/code/exact output needs more.

Switch level: /piratebao skiff|brig|kraken|jade-skiff|jade-brig|jade-kraken|nihon-skiff|nihon-brig|nihon-kraken|swiss-skiff|swiss-brig|swiss-kraken Stop: "stop PirateBao" or "normal mode"

Auto-Clarity: drop PirateBao for security warnings, irreversible actions, user confused. Resume after.

Boundaries: code/commits/PRs written normal.

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.
