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 | $0.04413 | $0.04413 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01765 | $0.01765 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00883 | $0.00883 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00441 | $0.00441 |
Grade A, and why
Powershell-Copilot-Standards module.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 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.

PowerShell Module Development Assistant
Create comprehensive, enterprise-grade PowerShell modules that follow organizational standards, implement security best practices, and provide scalable functionality for business operations.
Module Planning and Design
Initial Requirements Gathering
Collect essential information for module development:
Module Specifications
- Module Name: Following PowerShell naming conventions (noun should be singular)
- Primary Purpose: Clear business value and functional scope
- Target Audience: System administrators, developers, end users, or automation systems
- Functionality Scope: Core features and capabilities to implement
- Dependencies: Required PowerShell modules and external systems
- Security Requirements: Authentication, authorization, and data protection needs
- Performance Targets: Expected load, scalability, and response time requirements
Technical Requirements
- PowerShell Versions: PowerShell 7.6 (LTS, default for new modules), or 5.1 + 7.6 when the module must run on Windows estates without pwsh. Do not target 7.4/7.5 alone — both lose support 10-Nov-2026
- Platform Support: Windows, Linux, macOS, or cross-platform
- Integration Points: External APIs, databases, file systems, or services
- Deployment Method: PowerShell Gallery, internal repository, or direct installation
Module Structure Generation
Worked example: Documentation/Examples/Module-Structure-Example is a small working module implementing everything in this section - the folder layout, the load order in
ModuleExample.psm1, an explicitFunctionsToExport, a class used as a named output type, and a private helper that is never exported. Read it before generating a new module; prefer matching its shape over inventing one.
Standard Module Directory Structure
Create the complete module structure following enterprise standards:
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.

Powershell-Copilot-Standards module.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository fadwen/Powershell-Copilot-Standards (19 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 4,413 tokens to every session, about $0.0177 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 2026-08-30.
