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 | $0.00394 | $0.00394 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00197 | $0.00197 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00079 | $0.00079 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00039 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
digital-service-orchestra 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 10d 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 Code Review Instructions
Copilot runs alongside the project's internal /dso:review pipeline and
CodeRabbit so all three LLM reviewers can be compared on the same PRs.
Design principle: this file tunes coverage (what is reviewed and across which dimensions) to match the dso standard tier. It does not prescribe how Copilot reasons, scores, or downgrades — that is the behavior under comparison.
Sync note: Coverage dimensions and path exclusions in this file are
intentionally parallel to .coderabbit.yaml. Each tool requires its own
config format — consolidation is not possible. When updating review scope,
update both files together.
Review Dimensions
Review along these dimensions:
- correctness — logic, edge cases, error handling, security, concurrency, efficiency, deletion impact.
- verification — test presence, test quality, edge-case coverage.
- hygiene — dead code, naming, unnecessary complexity, missing guards.
- design — responsibility boundaries, encapsulation, interface clarity, coupling.
- maintainability — readability, comments, organization, file size.
Overlays
Additionally evaluate two overlays and state in the review summary whether each is warranted by the diff:
- security overlay — auth, authz, crypto, sessions, trust boundaries, sensitive data.
- performance overlay — DB queries, caching, connection pools, async/concurrent patterns, batch processing.
Out of Scope
The following are exhaustively reviewed elsewhere — skip from review:
- Lockfiles (
*.lock,package-lock.json,poetry.lock). - Generated indexes (
.test-index). - Changelogs (
CHANGELOG.md). - Snapshot files (
*.snap,__snapshots__/). - Archived docs (
docs/archive/). - Test fixtures (
tests/fixtures/).
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.

digital-service-orchestra copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository navapbc/digital-service-orchestra (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 394 tokens to every session, about $0.0020 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
