What is trainer-demo-deploy copilot-instructions.md?

A set of GitHub Copilot instructions for an Azure demo project. It coordinates a staged process from requirements and architecture through diagrams, infrastructure, application development, deployment, and a demo guide.

Use it to build Azure demonstration scenarios, generate infrastructure and web-app files, deploy them, and prepare supporting documentation and images.

It gives contributors a defined order of work and identifies the files produced at each stage, reducing confusion about handoffs and project outputs.

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	$0.00987	$0.00987
Opus 5.5	$0.00395	$0.00395
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00197	$0.00197
Haiku 4.5	$0.00099	$0.00099

Security

Grade A, and why

trainer-demo-deploy 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 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.

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.
