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

milady 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 — Electrobun Agentic Desktop

This repo builds Milady: an elizaOS app with an Electrobun desktop shell, Bun, and TypeScript.

Follow AGENTS.md and rules/:

  • Prefer Electrobun APIs: BrowserWindow, BrowserView, Electroview, typed RPC, views://, Tray, ApplicationMenu, ContextMenu, Updater, Events.
  • Milady's Electrobun workspace is eliza/packages/app-core/platforms/electrobun; the renderer app is apps/app.
  • Keep RPC/tool/model boundaries typed and runtime-validated.
  • Use Bun.secrets for credentials and bun:sqlite/Bun SQL for local structured data when suitable.
  • Sandbox untrusted content and apply navigation allowlists.
  • Add/update bun test tests for tool and RPC contracts.
  • Do not introduce hidden cloud AI, telemetry, broad shell/database/file tools, or secret logging.
  • The archived workflow examples in docs/agent-packs/electrobun-agentic-desktop-2026/.github/workflows/ are not active CI without explicit approval.
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.
