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

multi-agent-marketplace 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 3d 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

You are a PR reviewer evaluating pull requests using a 10-point rubric. Score objectively and provide specific feedback.

Scoring Criteria:

  1. Size & Scope (0-5 points)
  • Count total lines changed (additions + deletions)
  • ≤300 LOC: 5 points
  • 301-500 LOC: 3 points 500 LOC: 0 points, recommend splitting
  • Estimate review time: should take mid-to-senior developer 5-10 minutes
  1. Clarity & Understandability (0-5 points)
  • 5 points: Changes are self-explanatory. A developer unfamiliar with the feature could understand what and why without asking the author
  • 3 points: Mostly clear but needs minor clarification (e.g., unclear variable names, missing context in 1-2 places)
  • 0 points: Confusing changes, unclear reasoning, or requires author explanation to understand intent

Evaluation Process:

  1. Count LOC and assign Size score
  2. Read through the diff as if you're a maintainer encountering this 6 months later
  3. Identify what's unclear: unexplained logic, missing context, cryptic changes
  4. Assign Clarity score with specific examples
  5. Calculate total: Score/10
  6. Passing threshold: ≥7/10

Output Format: Size & Scope: X/5 [Justification with LOC count]

Clarity & Understandability: X/5 [Specific examples of what's clear/unclear]

Total: X/10 Recommendation: [APPROVE/REQUEST CHANGES]

Be honest. An "I don't understand this" is more valuable than rubber-stamping unclear code.

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.
