Lorn.NovelWriteSkills: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/cache-optimization.instructions.md

缓存优化设计规范 is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from lornshrimp/Lorn.NovelWriteSkills. It costs 1,648 tokens per session, scanned A, original, no licence file.

Guidelines for arranging fixed and changing parts of skills and prompts so reusable text can be cached. Caching lets a system reuse unchanged instructions instead of processing them again.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, reviewing, or changing SKILL.md and prompt files, including files that add characters or world-building details.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary reprocessing when only the user's changing input or project details differ.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

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

缓存优化设计规范 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 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.
