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

shopathome 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 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.

Language & Framework Conventions

JavaScript / TypeScript

  • Use const and let — never var.
  • Prefer arrow functions for callbacks and inline functions.
  • Use template literals for string interpolation.
  • Use async/await over raw Promises where possible.
  • TypeScript (Angular and Svelte apps): use explicit types for function parameters and return values. Avoid any.

Angular (angular-app)

  • Follow Angular CLI conventions: one component per file, *.component.ts / *.service.ts / *.module.ts suffixes.
  • Use NgRx for state management — actions, reducers, effects, selectors follow the NgRx pattern in src/app/.
  • Use Angular's dependency injection for services.
  • Router configuration lives in src/app/router.ts.
  • Templates use Angular template syntax with structural directives (*ngIf, *ngFor).
  • Lint with TSLint (tslint.json at src/tslint.json).

React (react-app)

  • Class components are not used — prefer functional components.
  • State management uses Redux with Redux-Saga for side effects (see src/store/).
  • Follow the Airbnb ESLint configuration (.eslintrc.json extends react-app).
  • Format with Prettier (.prettierrc).
  • Router uses react-router-dom v6.

Svelte (svelte-app)

  • Use TypeScript in Svelte components (<script lang="ts">).
  • Styling uses SCSS imported globally from src/styles.scss.
  • Build with Vite (vite.config.ts).
  • Check types with npm run check (svelte-check).
  • Store module in src/store/ — uses Svelte writable stores.

Vue (vue-app)

  • Single-File Components (.vue) with <template>, <script>, <style> sections.
  • State management via Vuex (src/store/).
  • Routing via Vue Router (src/router.js).
  • Follow Vue ESLint + Airbnb + Prettier rules (.eslintrc.js).
  • Component filenames use kebab-case.

API — Azure Functions (api/)

  • Each function is a directory with function.json (bindings) and index.js (handler).
  • Handlers receive (context, req) and set response via context.res.
  • Shared data logic lives in api/shared/.
  • Routes are defined declaratively in function.json, not in code.

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.
