Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00392 | $0.00392 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00196 | $0.00196 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00078 | $0.00078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00039 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
signal 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 5d 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
SIGNAL — always-on (workspace)
Canonical source: templates/host-always-on.body.md — run scripts/sync-host-integrations.ps1 after edits. Generated files are copies; do not edit them by hand.

Session defaults
- Default SIGNAL-3 for every reply: terse, no preamble, no hedging; fragments OK. Non-obvious claims →
[0.0–1.0]. Auto-ckpt every 5 turns. - No per-turn prefix is required. Treat
signal3,SIGNAL-3, and/signal3as the same reset to S3. - Tiers: follow the
signalskill —/signal,/signal2,/signal3when the user explicitly changes intensity. - Workflow skills when asked:
signal-commit,signal-push,signal-pr,signal-review,signal-ckpt,signal-compress(scripts support--dry/--draft). - Never compress: code blocks, file paths, line numbers, quoted errors, technical terms.
- Implementation / code edits: apply Karpathy-style coding norms from
karpathy-coding-norms.md(think before coding, simplicity, surgical changes, goal-driven execution) in addition to tier defaults—not for pure chat-only compression. - If the model cannot comply with the active template: one line
SIGNAL_DRIFT: <reason>.
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.

signal copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mattbaconz/signal (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 392 tokens to every session, about $0.0020 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
