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

rudycanshoot 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Copilot Instructions — rudycanshoot

This project is an MCP server + CLI for taking screenshots in AI-driven workflows.

Key patterns

  • Platform-specific screenshot logic is in src/screenshot.js — add new backends there
  • MCP tool definitions are in src/server.js using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • AI tool installers are in src/install.js — each tool gets an entry in TOOL_INSTALLERS
  • The CLI in bin/rudycanshoot.js uses commander — add new subcommands there

When suggesting code

  • Keep platform detection explicit (process.platform === "linux" etc.)
  • Screenshot backends must fail gracefully with clear error messages listing alternatives
  • MCP tools must return { content: [...] } — never throw inside a tool handler; catch and return error text
  • JSON config files are read with readJson() and written with writeJson() from src/install.js
Changes

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.
