This is feiskyer/claude-code-settings's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and GitHub Copilot how to work on claude-code-settings itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

claude-code-settings 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 19d 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code and GitHub Copilot when working with code in this repository.

Environment Setup

This repository contains Claude Code settings, configurations and guidance. The default setup uses GitHub Copilot as the model provider through a proxy API.

Required Dependencies

  • copilot-gateway: Run with npx copilot-gateway@latest start --proxy-env to start the proxy and authorize GitHub Copilot account
  • Use tmux for session management: tmux new-session -d -s copilot 'npx copilot-gateway@latest start --proxy-env'

Configuration

  • settings.json: Contains environment variables for API configuration
  • Uses localhost:4141 as the API base URL
  • Telemetry and non-essential traffic are disabled

Skills

Skills are reusable capabilities defined in the skills/ directory. Each skill has a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing name and description fields. The description serves as both documentation and trigger condition.

Skill File Structure

All skill files must include YAML frontmatter:

---
name: skill-name
description: 'Comprehensive description that also serves as the trigger condition. Include keywords and phrases that should activate this skill.'
---

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.
