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 | $0.00378 | $0.00378 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00151 | $0.00151 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00076 | $0.00076 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
ai-agent-memory 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 2mo 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
Read these files for full context:
AGENT.md— Project instructions, workflow rules, architecture, key paths~/projects/memory/wiki/projects/ai-agent-memory.md— Project wiki page (lessons, decisions)~/projects/memory/agent-config/workflow.md— Global workflow rules
Copilot-Specific Tips
- Use
@workspaceto give Copilot full project context - Pin
AGENT.mdin chat for persistent context - Use Copilot Edits (Ctrl+Shift+I) for multi-file changes
- Run tests manually — Copilot cannot execute them
- When corrected, update the project wiki page at
~/projects/memory/wiki/projects/ai-agent-memory.md
Shared knowledge base (memory wiki)
A compounding cross-project knowledge base lives at ~/projects/memory
(%USERPROFILE%\projects\memory on Windows; resolve ~ to your home dir).
Consult it reflexively before answering about clients, domains, patterns,
tools, colleagues, or past work — do not answer from memory when the wiki
has the answer.
# from ANY repo — resolves the wiki root from the script's own location
python ~/projects/memory/scripts/wiki-search.py <terms> # ranked hits
python ~/projects/memory/scripts/wiki-search.py <terms> --full # + Summary
- Read the top matching page(s) in full before you answer.
- Compact catalog / router:
~/projects/memory/index.md(per-category summaries in~/projects/memory/wiki/{category}/_index.md). - When you learn something durable about this project or client, ask the user to
run
ingestin the memory repo so it compounds for future sessions.
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.
