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 | $0.30680 | $0.30680 |
| Opus 5 | $0.15340 | $0.15340 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.06136 | $0.06136 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.03068 | $0.03068 |
Grade A, and why
copilot-repo-template terraform.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 10d 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.

Metadata

- Owner: Repository Maintainers
- Last Updated: 2026-06-23
- Scope: Terraform coding standards for all
.tf,.tfvars,.tftest.hcl,.tf.json,.tftpl, and.tfbackendfiles in this repository — style, formatting, naming, file organization, variable and output design, resource configuration, module design, state management, cross-stack data sharing, provider management, security, testing, and documentation.
Keywords
The key words MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL are defined in RFC 2119. Requirements apply when their scope is present (e.g., module rules apply only when modules exist).
Quick Reference Checklist
This checklist provides a quick reference for both human developers and LLMs (like GitHub Copilot) to follow the Terraform style guidelines. Each item includes a scope tag indicating applicability:
- [All] — Applies to all Terraform files
- [Module] — Applies when developing reusable modules
- [Root] — Applies to root configurations (deployments)
- [Test] — Applies to test files (
.tftest.hcl)
Scope reminder: Items tagged [Module], [Root], or [Test] are mandatory when those constructs are present. If the construct does not exist in your repo, the requirement is not yet applicable.
Formatting and Style (Quick Reference)
- [All] Code MUST pass
terraform fmtwithout modifications - [All] Code MUST use 2 spaces for indentation, never tabs
- [All] Files MUST use UTF-8 encoding
- [All] Files MUST end with a single newline
- [All] Lines SHOULD NOT exceed 120 characters except for long strings or URLs
- [All] Blank lines MUST be completely empty (no whitespace)
- [All] Comments MUST use
#for single-line;/* */MAY be used for multi-line
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.
