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 | $0.10911 | $0.10911 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.04364 | $0.04364 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.02182 | $0.02182 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01091 | $0.01091 |
Grade A, and why
Problem-Based-SRS 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.

GitHub Copilot Instructions for Problem-Based SRS
Project Overview
This repository provides AgentSkills for following a Problem-Based Software Requirements Specification (SRS) methodology. The focus is on enabling AI-assisted requirements engineering through structured, problem-first approaches.
The repository follows the AgentSkills standard and the Claude Code Plugins layout. Compatibility priority is GitHub Copilot first, then Claude Code/Claude.ai.
Plugin Standards
This repository follows the Claude Code plugins specification:
- Plugins Guide: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins.md
- Plugins Reference: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference.md
When modifying this repository structure, ensure compliance with these plugin standards.
Compatibility Priority (GHCP → Claude)
- GitHub Copilot first: Keep skills and instructions directly usable in Copilot workflows.
- Claude second: Keep
.claude-plugin/plugin.json,.claude-plugin/marketplace.json,skills/,agents/,hooks/, andsettings.jsonaligned with Claude plugin docs. - Consistency over time: Keep compatibility guidance consistent when it changes.
Core Principles
- Problem-First Thinking: Always identify the problem before proposing solutions
- Lightweight Methodology: Favor simplicity over complex frameworks
- AI-Native Design: Content designed for consumption by AI agents (following AgentSkills standard)
- Practical Guidance: Focus on actionable skills and templates

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.
