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 | $0.00389 | $0.00389 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00156 | $0.00156 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00078 | $0.00078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00039 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
copilot-instructions conventional-commits.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
Conventional Commits Instructions
Overview
Follow the Conventional Commits specification for all commit messages.
Format
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<body>
<footer>
Types
- feat: A new feature
- fix: A bug fix
- docs: Documentation only changes
- style: Code style changes (formatting, missing semicolons, etc.)
- refactor: Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- perf: Performance improvements
- test: Adding or updating tests
- chore: Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
- ci: CI/CD pipeline changes
Examples
feat(orders): add discount calculation to order total
Implement discount logic based on customer tier and quantity.
Discounts are applied before tax calculation.
Closes #123
fix(api): handle missing customer_id in order creation
Previously would crash with KeyError. Now returns 400 Bad Request
with clear error message.
test(domain): add tests for order confirmation edge cases
Breaking Changes
Use ! or BREAKING CHANGE: footer:
feat(api)!: change order status enum values
BREAKING CHANGE: Order status values changed from integers to strings.
Update all API clients to use "pending", "confirmed" instead of 0, 1.
Rules
- Use imperative mood ("add" not "added" or "adds")
- Don't capitalize first letter of subject
- No period at the end of subject
- Keep subject under 72 characters
- Separate subject from body with blank line
- Wrap body at 72 characters
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.
