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 | $0.02651 | $0.02651 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01060 | $0.01060 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00530 | $0.00530 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00265 | $0.00265 |
Grade A, and why
Inspectra 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 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.

Inspectra — Global Copilot Instructions
Project Overview
Inspectra is a hybrid code audit system. Three audit architectures are available:
- Tier B (Hybrid): Default. Deterministic MCP tools across 12 domains + single-prompt synthesis + conditional hotspot explorer.
- Map-Reduce (Multi-Agent): Orchestrator runs tools centrally, dispatches to 12 specialized domain agents in parallel, then performs cross-domain correlation. Use
@audit-orchestrator. - Fusion (Maximum Recall): Combines Tier B + Map-Reduce in a single run, deduplicates cross-architecture findings. Use
@audit-fusion.
Architecture
- MCP Server (
mcp/): TypeScript server exposing audit tools via Model Context Protocol. - Agents (
.github/agents/): 14 agent definitions — orchestrator + fusion + 12 domain agents. - Schemas (
schemas/): JSON Schema contracts for findings and reports. - Policies (
policies/): Scoring rules, severity matrix, and stack-specific profiles. - Prompts (
.github/prompts/): Reusable entry points for common audit workflows. - Claude Code support:
CLAUDE.md+.mcp.jsonat repo root;inspectra setup --claudefor target projects. - Codex support:
AGENTS.md+.codex/config.toml;inspectra setup --codexfor target projects.
Critical Rules
Output Format
All audit workflows and domain reports MUST return structured JSON following the schemas in schemas/. Never return free-form text as the primary output. The merge/report stage is the only place that produces the final Markdown report.
Finding Contract
Every finding MUST include:
id: PatternDOMAIN_PREFIX-XXX(e.g.,SEC-001,TST-042)severity: One ofcritical,high,medium,low,infodomain: The audit domain that produced itrule: Machine-readable rule identifierconfidence: Float between 0.0 and 1.0source: One oftool(MCP tool detection) orllm(LLM code exploration)evidence: At least one file path
Source & Confidence Rules
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.

Inspectra copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Fascinax/Inspectra (1 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,651 tokens to every session, about $0.0106 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.
