Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

awesome-claude-copilot 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.

Repository instructions for GitHub Copilot

Reusable standards for C#/.NET back ends and Angular front ends. This repository contains no application code — it ships GitHub Copilot configuration under .github/: these repository instructions, path-scoped instructions (instructions/), custom agents (agents/), and agent skills (skills/). Follow these instructions for all C# and Angular work.

Communication & comments (always)

Responses

  • Lead with the answer or the change. No preamble, no filler, no restating the request.
  • Do not re-summarize a plan or diff the user already saw; report only what changed or went wrong.
  • Match length to substance — a one-line answer is a complete answer.

Code comments

  • Comment only what code cannot say: why a decision was made, constraints, non-obvious invariants, workarounds with links.
  • Never narrate what code does. No per-function comment quota. No change-narration comments ("added X", "now uses Y").
  • XML doc comments on public APIs are API documentation, not comments — that standard stands.

C# coding standards (always)

Full standards live in instructions/csharp.instructions.md (auto-applies to *.cs). The always-on core:

  • Target the latest C# version (currently C# 14); honor .editorconfig; prefer pattern matching, switch expressions, and nameof(...).
  • Prefer primary constructors; capture each injected dependency into a private readonly _camelCase field and use the field in method bodies.
  • Prefer collection expressions ([], [1, 2, 3], [.. items]) over new List<T>(), new T[] { }, or Array.Empty<T>().
  • PascalCase for types, methods, and public members; _camelCase private fields; camelCase locals and parameters; I-prefixed interfaces.
  • Declare variables non-nullable; validate null at entry points only; use is null / is not null — never == null / != null.
  • Suffix async methods with Async; never block with .Result, .Wait(), or .GetAwaiter().GetResult(); no async void outside event handlers; flow a CancellationToken through long-running operations.
  • Centralize error handling; return errors as Problem Details (RFC 9457). Never log PII or secrets; prefer DefaultAzureCredential + Azure Key Vault / Managed Identity over secrets in code or config.
  • XML doc comments on all public APIs.
  • xUnit tests in a [ProjectName].Tests project, named MethodName_Scenario_ExpectedBehavior; Arrange-Act-Assert structure but no // Arrange / // Act / // Assert comments.
  • When reviewing, make only high-confidence suggestions; comment on why a non-obvious design decision was made.

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.
