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 | $0.01938 | $0.01938 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00775 | $0.00775 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00388 | $0.00388 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00194 | $0.00194 |
Grade A, and why
copilot-instructions unit-and-integration-tests.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.

Unit Tests
Test individual components in isolation without external dependencies.
import pytest
from uuid import uuid4
from domain.order import Order, OrderItem, Money
class TestOrder:
"""Test domain logic without dependencies"""
def test_add_item_to_pending_order(self):
# Arrange
order = Order(id=uuid4(), customer_id=uuid4())
price = Money(10.0, "USD")
# Act
order.add_item("product-1", quantity=2, price=price)
# Assert
assert len(order.items) == 1
assert order.items[0].quantity == 2
def test_cannot_add_item_to_confirmed_order(self):
# Arrange
order = Order(id=uuid4(), customer_id=uuid4(), status="CONFIRMED")
price = Money(10.0, "USD")
# Act & Assert
with pytest.raises(ValueError, match="Cannot modify confirmed order"):
order.add_item("product-1", quantity=1, price=price)
def test_calculate_total_with_multiple_items(self):
# Arrange
order = Order(id=uuid4(), customer_id=uuid4())
order.add_item("p1", 2, Money(10.0, "USD"))
order.add_item("p2", 1, Money(15.0, "USD"))
# Act
total = order.calculate_total()
# Assert
assert total.amount == 35.0
assert total.currency == "USD"
Integration Tests
Test interactions between components with real or in-memory infrastructure.
import pytest
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker, Session
from infrastructure.repositories.order_repository import SqlAlchemyOrderRepository
from domain.order import Order
@pytest.fixture
def db_session():
"""In-memory database for testing"""
engine = create_engine("sqlite:///:memory:")
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
SessionLocal = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = SessionLocal()
yield session
session.close()
class TestOrderRepository:
"""Test repository with real database"""
def test_save_and_retrieve_order(self, db_session: Session):
# Arrange
repository = SqlAlchemyOrderRepository(db_session)
order = Order(id=uuid4(), customer_id=uuid4())
order.add_item("product-1", 1, Money(10.0, "USD"))
# Act
repository.save(order)
retrieved = repository.get_by_id(order.id)
# Assert
assert retrieved is not None
assert retrieved.id == order.id
assert len(retrieved.items) == 1
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.

copilot-instructions unit-and-integration-tests.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository duthaho/copilot-instructions (7 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,938 tokens to every session, about $0.0078 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
