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

repo2agent 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.

Agent Workflow

  • Read the relevant files before editing.
  • Prefer existing patterns, naming, and architecture over new abstractions.
  • Keep changes scoped to the user request.
  • Do not rewrite unrelated code or reformat files outside the change.
  • Do not discard local/user changes without explicit permission.
  • Update tests when behavior changes.
  • Run the smallest meaningful verification command before finalizing.
  • In the final response, say what changed, what was verified, and what risk remains.

Safety Rules

  • Be careful with secrets, auth, permissions, payments, migrations, generated files, and lockfiles.
  • Avoid adding dependencies unless they clearly reduce complexity.
  • If a command fails, report the failure and choose the next most useful verification step.

Copilot Notes

  • Prefer small, reviewable suggestions.
  • Include tests or usage examples for behavior changes.
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.
