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

personal-copilot-instructions copilot-readme.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 2mo 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

Instrucciones para generación de README con Copilot

  • Antes de generar o actualizar el README, analiza obligatoriamente la estructura y los archivos reales del proyecto (incluyendo archivos y carpetas presentes en el sistema de archivos).
  • Solo incluye secciones en el README que correspondan a archivos o configuraciones realmente detectados en el proyecto. No generes secciones genéricas ni plantillas.
  • Si el archivo README ya existe, preserva y adapta el contenido existente al nuevo formato, nunca elimines información relevante.
  • El README debe comenzar con el nombre del proyecto y una breve descripción de su propósito.
  • Explica claramente qué hace el proyecto y su caso de uso principal.
  • Si el proyecto es grande y tiene una estructura algo compleja de archivos, incluye una sección de estructura del proyecto, detallando los directorios y archivos principales.
  • Solo añade una sección de variables de entorno requeridas si existen archivos .env, referencias a variables de entorno en el código (por ejemplo, process.env), o documentación relacionada en el proyecto. Si no existen, no incluyas ninguna sección de variables de entorno.
  • Si el proyecto necesita comandos para inciarse, como npm i, python install requirements o el comando similar al lenguaje del proyecto, incluye una sección de "Cómo iniciar el proyecto" con los pasos necesarios para la instalación y ejecución
  • Si existe un archivo .devcontainer, explica cómo usar el entorno de desarrollo remoto con VS Code. Si no existe, no incluyas ninguna sección sobre Devcontainer.
  • Si existe un archivo docker-compose.yml, explica cómo levantar el entorno con Docker Compose, incluyendo los comandos necesarios. Si no existe, no incluyas ninguna sección sobre Docker Compose.
  • Si el proyecto tiene un archivo package.json, documenta los comandos disponibles (scripts) y su función. Si no existe, no incluyas ninguna sección sobre scripts de package.json.
  • Si el proyecto es una API, genera un archivo adicional API_DOC.md que explique los endpoints, métodos, parámetros, respuestas y ejemplos de uso.
  • No incluyas secciones sobre Docker Compose, Devcontainer, scripts de package.json, variables de entorno, etc., si los archivos o referencias correspondientes no existen en el proyecto.
  • El README debe ser siempre una adaptación fiel al contexto y archivos presentes, evitando plantillas genéricas.
  • Si el proyecto tiene pruebas, explica cómo ejecutarlas.
  • Si el proyecto tiene integración continua o despliegue automatizado (como una github action), documenta el flujo básico solo si aplica.
  • Utiliza emojis y elementos visuales llamativos (tablas, listas, bloques destacados) para mejorar la legibilidad y hacer el README más atractivo.

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.
