What is dot-cowork copilot-instructions.md?

Repository instructions for maintaining the dot-cowork project, including its source and English versions, folder layout, user-specific assistant files, and common tasks. They tell coding assistants where to make and find project changes.

Use them when maintaining dot-cowork frameworks, documentation, distribution files, or scripts and when checking which project instructions apply.

They prevent edits from going into the wrong language version, generated folder, or maintenance location. They also direct different coding assistants to their corresponding instruction files.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01033	$0.01033
Opus 5.5	$0.00413	$0.00413
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00207	$0.00207
Haiku 4.5	$0.00103	$0.00103

Security

Grade A, and why

dot-cowork 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.

Scope

Authoring baseline lives under frameworks/ko.
Published English install variant lives under frameworks/en.
Distribution archives are generated into dist/.
Maintenance scripts live under scripts/.

Working Rules

Default to editing frameworks/ko.
Keep frameworks/en synchronized when framework-facing structure, wording, or release contract changes.
Use semantic versioning starting from 1.0.0.
For Markdown documents in this repository, use Mermaid by default for diagrams and charts. Use static SVG or PNG assets only when Mermaid is not practical or a required publishing target does not support it.
Do not manually edit archives under dist/; always rebuild them from source.

Common Tasks

Prepare release branch	`./scripts/release.ps1 prepare -Version <MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH>`

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.
