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

quadletman 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 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 it actually says

GitHub Copilot Instructions

See CLAUDE.md for full context. Key points for inline completions:

  • Python 3.12+, FastAPI, async/await throughout
  • 100-char line limit, double quotes, space indentation (enforced by ruff)
  • All imports at the top of the file, sorted (stdlib → third-party → first-party)
  • Use contextlib.suppress() instead of try/except/pass
  • Use with open(path) as f: — never bare open(path).read()
  • Chain exceptions: raise HTTPException(...) from exc
  • Routes return HTMX template partials or JSON depending on HX-Request header
  • Service operations go through compartment_manager.py, not lower-level modules directly
  • Before committing, check the Doc Update Protocol in CLAUDE.md and update affected docs in the same commit
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.
