Copilot API Proxy is a reverse-engineered server that makes GitHub Copilot available through the OpenAI Chat Completions and Anthropic Messages API formats. It lets compatible tools, including Claude Code, use Copilot as their backend. The catalogue instruction helps configure or use this proxy with coding agents.

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 | $0.00441 | $0.00441 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00176 | $0.00176 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00088 | $0.00088 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00044 |
Grade A, and why
copilot-api AGENTS.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 1mo 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.

Code Style Guidelines
- Imports:
Use ESNext syntax. Prefer absolute imports via~/*forsrc/*(seetsconfig.json). - Formatting:
Follows Prettier (withprettier-plugin-packagejson). Runbun run lintto auto-fix. - Types:
Strict TypeScript (strict: true). Avoidany; use explicit types and interfaces. - Naming:
UsecamelCasefor variables/functions,PascalCasefor types/classes. - Error Handling:
Use explicit error classes (seesrc/lib/error.ts). Avoid silent failures. - Unused:
Unused imports/variables are errors (noUnusedLocals,noUnusedParameters). - Switches:
No fallthrough in switch statements. - Modules:
Use ESNext modules, no CommonJS. - Testing:
Use Bun's built-in test runner. Place tests intests/, name as*.test.ts. - Linting:
Uses@echristian/eslint-config(see npm for details). Includes stylistic, unused imports, regex, and package.json rules. - Paths:
Use path aliases (~/*) for imports fromsrc/.
This file is tailored for agentic coding agents. For more details, see the configs in eslint.config.js and tsconfig.json. No Cursor or Copilot rules detected.
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.
