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 | $0.00602 | $0.00602 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00301 | $0.00301 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00120 | $0.00120 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00060 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
claude-skills-journalism 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 21 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Copilot review instructions, claude-skills-journalism
Project context, skill format, and hook conventions live in CLAUDE.md. Both this file and CLAUDE.md are read by Copilot code review (cap ~4,000 chars each). This file lists the rules worth named attention on every PR.
Global rules to flag
These are Joe's user-level conventions from ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, restated here because Copilot's PR review bot does not read user-level files.
- No AI-authorship attribution. Commit messages, PR bodies, skill markdown, and committed docs must not include "Generated with Claude Code",
Co-Authored-By: Claudetrailers, or any "AI-assisted"/"Generated by"-style notes. Mentioning model/company names in technical documentation is fine; the ban is on authorship credits. - Public-facing HTML pages must include
<link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="...">and full OG/Twitter meta tags:og:title,og:description,og:type,og:url,og:image(1200x630),og:image:width=1200,og:image:height=630,twitter:card=summary_large_image,twitter:title,twitter:description,twitter:image. Scope: this repo'sdocs/is the static site at skills.amditis.tech.
Project-specific bug classes to flag
-
No hardcoded credentials in skill content. API keys, tokens, OAuth secrets, or any credential value must never appear in skill markdown, templates, or example code. Reference paths (e.g.,
pass show claude/services/X) and env-var names are fine; values are not. -
Web scraping skills must respect robots.txt and rate limits. Any skill in
web-scraping/,digital-archive/,web-archiving/, orpage-monitoring/that fetches third-party content must document robots.txt compliance and apply rate limiting. Flag scraping examples that don't. -
FOIA/records skills must include privacy considerations. Skills under
foia-requests/or that handle personally-identifying information from public records must call out PII redaction, victim/witness identifier protection, and the distinction between public records and public-interest publication.
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.
