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 | $0.00660 | $0.00660 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00330 | $0.00330 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00132 | $0.00132 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00066 | $0.00066 |
Grade A, and why
a-i--skills 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 12d 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.

AI Skills Repository - GitHub Copilot Instructions
This repository contains a collection of Claude skills that extend AI agent capabilities. Each skill is self-contained and documented through a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter.
Repository Purpose
The AI Skills repository hosts specialized instructions, scripts, and resources for AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini CLI). Skills enable agents to perform tasks ranging from creative work to technical documentation and code analysis.
Key Principles
- Skill-First Architecture: Every skill must have a
SKILL.mdfile with valid YAML frontmatter - Self-Contained Design: Each skill directory is independent with its own resources
- Generated Artifacts: Link directories and collections are committed and maintained by scripts
- Dual Collections: Example skills (root) and document skills (document-skills/)
Code Assistance Guidelines
When Creating or Modifying Skills
- Naming Convention: Use lowercase kebab-case matching the directory name
- Required Frontmatter:
--- name: skill-name description: Concise task-focused sentence --- - Optional Fields:
license,allowed-tools,metadata - After Changes: Run
python3 scripts/refresh_skill_collections.py
When Writing Python Scripts
- Keep scripts self-contained within skill's
scripts/directory - Include simple smoke tests or usage examples
- Reference environment variables for credentials (never commit secrets)
When Updating Documentation
- Update
README.mdif adding/removing skills from curated lists - Update
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.mdwhen adding external assets - Keep examples concise and actionable
Common Workflows
Add a new skill:
# Create directory and SKILL.md with frontmatter
# Add any scripts or assets
python3 scripts/refresh_skill_collections.py
python3 scripts/validate_skills.py --collection example --unique
Validate changes:
python3 scripts/validate_skills.py --collection example --unique
python3 scripts/validate_skills.py --collection document --unique
python3 scripts/validate_generated_dirs.py
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.

a-i--skills copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository organvm-iv-taxis/a-i--skills (17 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 660 tokens to every session, about $0.0033 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
