What is aimemo copilot-instructions.md?

Instructions for aimemo, a tool that gives coding agents persistent memory across sessions. It uses commands to recall earlier context and record completed work or next steps.

Loading saved context at the start of a session, recording significant work, and leaving a note about unfinished tasks.

They reduce the need to repeat project context when a new coding session begins.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00060	$0.00060
Opus 5.5	$0.00024	$0.00024
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00012
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00006

Security

Grade A, and why

aimemo 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

aimemo — persistent memory

Run aimemo inject at the start of every session to recall context
Run aimemo log "<what you did>" after each significant task
Run aimemo log "todo: <next step>" before ending the session

Changes

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.
