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

XcodeBuildMCP-iOS-Template 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.

What it actually says

Copilot Custom Instructions

  • This repository uses Swift 6.1+ and SwiftUI for iOS 18+ apps. All code should follow modern Swift and SwiftUI best practices.
  • This is an iOS project NOT a pure Swift Package or macOS project. It utlises a local Swift Package which is wrapped in an Xcode project. This makes it easier for agents to work on the project.
  • Use the Model-View (MV) pattern with native SwiftUI state management (@State, @Observable, @Environment, @Binding). Do not use ViewModels or MVVM.
  • All concurrency must use Swift Concurrency (async/await, actors, @MainActor). Do not use GCD or completion handlers.
  • Write all new code and features inside the Swift Package (YourAppPackage), not in the app shell.
  • Use the Swift Testing framework (@Test, #expect, #require) for all tests. Place tests in the package's Tests/ directory.
  • When running tests use the test_sim_name_ws tool do not use swift_package_test.-
  • Use XcodeBuildMCP tools for building, testing, and automation. Prefer these over raw xcodebuild or CLI commands.
  • For data persistence, use SwiftData (never CoreData), though only use for complex scenarios, prefer simpler options first e.g. UserDefaults.
  • Always provide accessibility labels and identifiers for UI elements.
  • Never log sensitive information or use insecure network calls.
  • For full style, architecture, and workflow details, refer to the project documentation in template/.cursor/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.
