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

trainer-demo-deploy az-markdown.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 today.

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.

Markdown Documentation Standards

Standards for creating consistent, accessible, and well-structured markdown documentation. Follow these guidelines to ensure documentation quality across the repository.

General Instructions

  • Use ATX-style headings (##, ###) - never use H1 (#) in content (reserved for document title)
  • CRITICAL: Limit line length to 120 characters - this is enforced by CI/CD and pre-commit hooks
  • Break long lines at natural points (after punctuation, before conjunctions)
  • Use LF line endings (enforced by .gitattributes)
  • Include meaningful alt text for all images
  • Validate with markdownlint before committing
  • These standards serve as the canonical style reference for all markdown in this repository

Line Length Guidelines

The 120-character limit is strictly enforced. When lines exceed this limit:

  1. Sentences: Break after punctuation (period, comma, em-dash)
  2. Lists: Break after the list marker or continue on next line with indentation
  3. Links: Break before [ or use reference-style links for long URLs
  4. Code spans: If unavoidable, use a code block instead

Example - Breaking long lines:

<!-- BAD: 130+ characters -->

This is a very long line that contains important information about Azure resources and best practices that exceeds the limit.

<!-- GOOD: Natural break after punctuation -->

This is a very long line that contains important information about Azure resources
and best practices that stays within the limit.

Content Structure

Element Rule Example
Headings Use ## for H2, ### for H3, avoid H4+ ## Section Title
Lists Use - for unordered, 1. for ordered - Item one
Code blocks Use fenced blocks with language ```bicep
Links Descriptive text, valid URLs [Azure docs](https://...)
Images Include alt text ![Architecture diagram](https://example.com/diagram.png)
Tables Align columns, include headers See examples below
