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 | $0.00842 | $0.00842 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00421 | $0.00421 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00168 | $0.00168 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00084 | $0.00084 |
Grade A, and why
knocoph 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Using Knocoph (Code Knowledge Graph)
This project is indexed with Knocoph. A persistent code knowledge graph is available via MCP tools. Use graph tools first — before reading files. This gives faster, more accurate structural answers and uses far fewer context tokens.
Rule: graph before files
- Call
find_symbolto locate any symbol by name. Useinclude_snippet: trueto get the source code in the same call. - Call
get_neighborswith a symbolnameornode_idto explore what it calls and what calls it, before reading the file it lives in. - Call
explain_impactwith a symbolnameornode_idbefore modifying any symbol to understand blast radius and dependency paths. - Call
codebase_overviewat the start of any analysis to understand the project's structure, file count, symbol distribution, and top-level architecture. - Call
query_architectureto understand what symbols a file defines and what it imports/exports before reading the file. - Call
get_snippetto read specific lines from a file when you have file_path and line numbers from a previous tool result. - Call
index_projectif the graph appears stale after code changes.tsconfig.jsonis auto-detected at the project root for path alias resolution — passtsconfig_pathexplicitly if it lives elsewhere.

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.

knocoph copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository jagonzalr/knocoph (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 842 tokens to every session, about $0.0042 per session on Opus 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.
