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

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 5d 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
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.
