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 | $0.00469 | $0.00469 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00188 | $0.00188 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00094 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
clumsies 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 1mo 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 — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Code Review Instructions
Development workflow is documented in
docs/guides/development-workflow.md; reviews should follow its worktree rules.
Review Priorities
CRITICAL (Block merge)
- Security: path traversal, unsafe command construction, unbounded input, exposed secrets, or unnecessary session payload persistence
- Data loss: ignored write/transaction errors, incomplete rollback, or unsafe cross-database publication
- Runtime authority drift: duplicated MCP validation, a proxy that opens daemon state directly, or an Adapter fallback to a retired executable
IMPORTANT (Requires discussion)
- Missing test coverage for new behavior and failure paths
- Lock ordering, cancellation, blocking work, and transaction ownership are unclear
- Cross-platform correctness (HOME vs USERPROFILE, path separators, build target vs host OS)
SUGGESTION (Non-blocking)
- Naming clarity, code simplification
Active runtime conventions
cargo fmt --all --check,cargo test --workspace, and daemon clippy gates must pass.- The resident daemon is the only owner of SQLite, model state, and background workers.
clumsiesd mcp serveis a stdio proxy; it uses typed XPC and must not constructDaemonState.- MCP schemas, argument validation, and domain conversion live in Rust. Do not add an untyped JSON tunnel.
- Proxy stdout is protocol-only. Diagnostics go to bounded, privacy-safe logging.
- Adapter entries must point to the signed bundled
clumsiesd; no PATH, worktree build, or archived CLI fallback is allowed.
Retired Zig history
The former Zig CLI source is intentionally absent from the active tree. Its
last active snapshot remains recoverable from Git commit
4b18f7947a977dbc6b62f560b698dc992597f19d. Do not import or reuse that code
as an active compatibility layer without an explicit product migration.
Compatibility
- No backward compat layers or deprecated wrappers; modify interfaces directly; delete unused code
Testing
- E2E tests must isolate HOME to a temp directory with cleanup trap
- Tests must not mutate the installed App, daemon, LaunchAgent, Adapter config, or user database unless the test explicitly owns and restores that environment
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.

clumsies copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository lilhammerfun/clumsies (19 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 469 tokens to every session, about $0.0019 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-06.
