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 | $0.02600 | $0.02600 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01040 | $0.01040 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00520 | $0.00520 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00260 | $0.00260 |
Grade A, and why
copilot-repo-template GEMINI.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.

Agent Instructions for Gemini Code Assist
Version: 1.4.20260923.0
Metadata
- Status: Active
- Owner: Repository Maintainers
- Last Updated: 2026-09-23
- Scope: Agent-specific entry point for Gemini Code Assist and compatible AI coding agents operating in this repository. Mirrors a minimal inline summary of the highest-priority shared rules;
.github/copilot-instructions.mdremains the canonical source of truth.
This file provides project-specific instructions for Gemini Code Assist and compatible AI coding agents operating in this repository. These instructions ensure that agents follow the same coding standards, safety rules, and workflows that apply to all contributors.
Canonical Instructions
The authoritative source of truth for all repository rules is .github/copilot-instructions.md (the repo-wide constitution). All rules defined there apply without exception. Read that file before making any changes.
This file intentionally keeps only a minimal inline summary of the highest-priority shared rules so that agents receive critical guidance immediately. The full shared rule set remains in the canonical file above.
Thin entry point classification: A thin entry point keeps shared repository rules brief; it does not mean platform-specific or required protocol sections may be discarded. Sections explicitly labeled as platform protocol or required protocol must be preserved unless the repository owner explicitly waives that protocol for the retained agent platform.
Protected Instruction Files
Instruction files, style guides, and the instruction-contract catalog (when retained) are protected governance files. Do not create, edit, delete, rename, or otherwise change .template-sync/instruction-contracts.yml, .github/copilot-instructions.md, files under .github/instructions/, files under .cursor/rules/, or root agent instruction files (.hermes.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md) unless the repository owner or maintainer has directly and explicitly authorized that specific protected-governance change in the current task. Implied consent is not enough; do not infer authorization from a plan you generated, review feedback, a general request to update docs, cleanup/validation work, or a "keep files in sync" instruction.
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.

copilot-repo-template GEMINI.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository franklesniak/copilot-repo-template (9 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,600 tokens to every session, about $0.0104 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.
