Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00205 | $0.00205 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00102 | $0.00102 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00041 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00020 |
Grade A, and why
high-quality-projects-skill 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 4d 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
This repository provides two vendor-neutral workflows for holding a codebase to production standards.
- Setting up a new project → follow
skills/project_setup/SKILL.md - Applying standards to existing code → follow
skills/quality_retrofit/SKILL.md
Read the whole workflow file before acting on it. Both begin with a mandatory
read-only scan (scripts/detect-stack.ps1 on PowerShell or
scripts/detect-stack.sh on POSIX) that must run before anything is created or
modified, and both extend existing configuration rather than replacing it.
Paths inside those files are written ${SKILL_ROOT}/..., meaning this
repository's root. Resolve it with & '.\scripts\skill-root.ps1' on
PowerShell or bash scripts/skill-root.sh on POSIX.
The full contract, including the rules that are most often skipped, is in
AGENTS.md.
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.

high-quality-projects-skill copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository RandyNorthrup/high-quality-projects-skill (1 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 205 tokens to every session, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 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.
