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 | $0.00375 | $0.00375 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00150 | $0.00150 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00075 | $0.00075 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
quarry 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 1mo 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
What to focus on
- Logic errors, off-by-one, null/None paths, unhandled edge cases
- Security: injection, credential exposure, path traversal, unsafe deserialization
- API contract violations: function returns wrong type, missing error case, changed signature without updating callers
- Concurrency issues: race conditions, shared mutable state, missing locks
- Resource leaks: unclosed files, sockets, database connections
What NOT to flag
- OO structure scores (method_ratio, encapsulation, module_size, etc.) —
tools/oo_score.pyenforces these via a ratchet mechanism. Do not duplicate its job. - New files that don't meet absolute OO thresholds — this is expected. The ratchet applies on subsequent changes.
- Formatting —
ruff formathandles this. Do not comment on whitespace, line length, quote style, or trailing commas. - Import order —
ruff check --select Ihandles this.
Do NOT suggest
- Adding
# noqa,# type: ignore,# pylint: disable, or@pytest.mark.xfailto suppress errors. The project policy is: fix the code or escalate to the operator. Suppressions require explicit operator approval. - Lowering
max-complexity, relaxing type checker strictness, or widening per-file-ignores. - Replacing
__new__with__init__— this project uses__new__as the constructor by design.
Context
This project uses an OO ratchet: make check-oo compares OO quality scores against a committed baseline (.oo-baseline.json). Every commit must improve at least one metric on touched files and regress none. The baseline is updated via make update-oo and committed alongside the code change.
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.

quarry copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository punt-labs/quarry (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 375 tokens to every session, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
