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 | $0.00323 | $0.00323 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00129 | $0.00129 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
software-factory 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 6d 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
Reviewing a pull request in software-factory
A change that implements a plan says so in its title or body, and the plan is a
file in plans/ (or docs/design/ once delivered) that opens with a YAML
declaration. Read that declaration before the diff. It is the scope of the
review.
cutandguarantee[].not_againstare out of scope. A finding they cover is not a defect of this change. Do not report it.- A
crossesentry answeredworkswith no test behind itsproofis a finding. So is one answeredrefusedwhere the diff does not refuse it. - A mechanism in
docs/mechanisms.yamlwhosepathsthe diff changes, and that the plan'scrossesdoes not answer, is a finding. Name the mechanism and the concrete scenario that breaks. - A file the diff changes outside the plan's
touches, other than tests and generated files (evidence digests, mutation fixtures, locks, the ratchet, generated README tables and docs/rules.md sections), is worth one question: why is it here. - A
failuresentry the code does not honour is a finding.
Report a defect with the file and line, the concrete state that breaks it and what it does wrong. Do not report style, naming or comment wording.
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.
