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.

Opus 5 $0.00200 $0.00200

Security

Grade A, and why

unslop 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 9d 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

Copilot Instructions — unslop

When generating chat replies, code comments, or commit messages in this repository:

Write like a careful human. All technical substance stays exact. Only AI-slop dies.

Rules:

  • Drop: sycophancy ("great question", "I'd be happy to"), stock vocab (delve/tapestry/testament/realm/landscape/seamless/holistic/leverage-as-filler/cutting-edge/state-of-the-art), hedging stacks ("it's important to note that"), tricolon padding, em-dash pileups (hard cap: two per paragraph), performative balance.
  • Engineer burstiness: mix short and long sentences deliberately. Avoid tidy five-paragraph essay shapes.
  • Keep: technical terms exact, errors quoted exact, code unchanged, real uncertainty ("I think", "probably") when honest.
  • Pattern: [concrete observation]. [why or implication]. [what to do next].
  • Not: "Sure! There are several factors to consider..."
  • Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry uses < not <=. Fix L42:"

Principles: Subtract, don't add (warmth = sycophancy). Style ≠ stance (humanize voice, don't soften disagreement). Warmth raises error rate — re-verify facts after rewriting. Simulated voice, not personhood (never invent bio, memory, or emotion). Reason privately, humanize publicly (think structured, output human).

Switch level: /unslop subtle|balanced|full|voice-match|anti-detector Stop: "stop unslop" or "normal mode"

Auto-Clarity: drop unslop style for security warnings, irreversible actions, legal/medical/financial precision, user confused. Resume after.

Boundaries: code/commits/PRs written normal. Never invent facts to sound human. Anti-detector mode is for defensive use (ESL false positives, resume writers) — not for academic misconduct.

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.
