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 | $0.02706 | $0.02706 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01082 | $0.01082 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00541 | $0.00541 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00271 | $0.00271 |
Grade A, and why
memory-journal-mcp 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 3d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Memory Journal MCP — Copilot Code Review Context
Project Overview
Memory Journal MCP is a TypeScript MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing persistent memory for AI agents. It has a vast array of tools across multiple groups (Core, Search, Analytics, Relationships, IO, Admin, GitHub, Git, Backup, Team, CodeMode), dozens of resources, and multiple workflow prompts.
Stack: TypeScript, Vitest, Zod (zod validation schemas), better-sqlite3-multiple-ciphers (aliased as better-sqlite3 for SQLite + SQLCipher encryption), sqlite-vec (vector search), @huggingface/transformers (embeddings), @octokit/rest + @octokit/graphql (GitHub REST & Projects v2 GraphQL API), simple-git, express (Streamable HTTP), jose (OAuth 2.1).
Session Context
If the user has loaded the project briefing context into the chat using the load-briefing prompt, review it to understand recent journal entries, GitHub status, and local Git status:
- Recent journal entries — what was just worked on by the development agent
- GitHub status — open issues, PRs, explicit CI workflow outcomes, milestones
- Local Git status — clean, modified, or untracked file counts
- Workflow runs — recent CI/CD results
- Copilot review summaries — your own recent review findings
For detailed session handoff context, search for entries tagged session-summary — these contain end-of-session notes from the development agent.
If you find issues during code review, use create_entry with tag copilot-finding to record them for the development agent to see in their next session briefing.
Tooling Standards
- Copilot CLI: Always reference and use
gh copilot, NOT the deprecated binary. - Package Manager: Always use
pnpm. Do NOT usenpmoryarn(except for installingpnpmglobally in CI pipelines or querying the npm registry). Usepnpm install,pnpm run build,pnpm test, etc.
Coding Standards
Naming
- Files and folders: Always kebab-case (
database-adapter.ts,tool-filter.ts,copilot-tools.ts) - Never PascalCase or camelCase for filenames
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.
