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

design-system 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 3d 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.

Specialized Agents

Bug-Fixing Agent

A specialized agent for fixing bugs from the GitHub issue tracker. This agent:

  • Follows the comprehensive methodology in bugfixing.instructions.md
  • Handles bugs in both 5.x and main branches with cross-branch tracking
  • Creates Storybook bug reproduction stories
  • Provides multiple solution approaches with trade-offs
  • Generates PR-ready documentation
  • Integrates with GitHub Issues for automatic context retrieval
  • Ensures bugs fixed on one branch are addressed on the other when applicable

Invocation: Invoke the bug-fixing agent by mentioning it with an issue number or bug description. Always specify which branch(es) are affected.

Location: .github/agents/bugFixAgent.md

Prompts

Component Meta Agent

A specialized agent for generating component metadata and thumbnails.

General Copilot Behavior

When assisting with this repository, GitHub Copilot should:

  1. Follow Existing Instructions: Always reference and follow the domain-specific instructions in .github/instructions/
  2. Maintain Consistency: Follow established patterns and conventions in the codebase
  3. Use Progressive Communication: Confirm understanding before implementing changes
  4. Prefer Minimal Changes: Fix issues with targeted, minimal changes rather than over-engineering
  5. Test-Driven: Run tests after changes and ensure no regressions
  6. Document Changes: Provide clear explanations of what changed and why
