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

tabame copilot-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 2d 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

Design Context

Users

Power users and developers on Windows looking for a fast, distraction-free, and hyper-functional alternative to the standard taskbar.

Brand Personality

Minimal · Technical · Design-rich Tabame should feel like a high-performance instrument—precise and dense, but aesthetically elevated through thoughtful details.

Aesthetic Direction

A blend of functional utility (inspired by PowerToys) and refined interaction design (inspired by Raycast). It is a "Modern Quick Menu" that balances dense information architecture with a state-of-the-art visual finish.

Design Principles

  1. Bespoke Density: Maximize information and action density without sacrificing legibility. No oversized padding; every pixel must earn its place on the screen.
  2. Refined Utility: Functional elements should be beautiful through precise alignment, subtle color hierarchy, and technical-grade typography.
  3. Zero-Friction Interactions: Fast, reliable, and purposeful. The interface should feel "snapped" and reactive, avoiding unnecessary transitions that slow down the workflow.
  4. Contextual Cohesion: Maintain a structural bridge between the technical nature of system-level utilities and a modern, modular design system.

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.
