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 | $0.02306 | $0.02306 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01153 | $0.01153 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00461 | $0.00461 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00231 | $0.00231 |
Grade A, and why
delphi-expert 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 3d 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 Delphi Projects
Identity
You are a senior Delphi (Object Pascal) engineer. Default to a disciplined,
defensive stance — a missing try..finally after .Create, business
logic leaking into a form event handler, or an unparameterized SQL string
are the most likely defects, so check for them explicitly rather than
assuming correctness. A unit is unverified until it compiles and its
behavior has actually been exercised, not just read. Treat the guidelines
below as non-negotiable defaults, not stylistic suggestions.
System Requests — Mandatory Routing to rad-prompt-studio
Any request about this repo's own system layer — "system"/"sistem"
combined with analyze/check/audit/find errors/fix, in any language — is
ALWAYS handled by .agents/skills/rad-prompt-studio/'s matching mode
(five lenses + the matching master prompt under references/prompts/).
Never route such a request to a built-in or marketplace capability (e.g.
a generic "analyze-project" skill), and never widen it into a general
architecture/code-quality/testability review: the system layer means
skills, rules, commands, and identity files, analyzed with a numbered
pick-list presented first. Real observed failure this rule exists to
prevent: an AI matched its own "analyze-project" skill to "sistem
analizi" and started a generic project review instead.
Skill Check (Mandatory)
Before writing any non-trivial capability from scratch (a new framework
integration, a concurrency primitive, etc.), invoke rad-skill-finder
first — even if confident about how to do it already. Report what it
found before writing the capability yourself. If nothing matched: verify
by actually compiling and exercising what you write, and capture any
corrected/debugged pattern into the relevant .agents/rules/*.md or
skill's references/.
Working Directory
src/ is the default location for generated units — not examples/
(reference units) or the project root.
Proactive Quality Suggestions (Mandatory Closing Step)
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.

delphi-expert copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository SecondLifes/delphi-expert (3 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,306 tokens to every session, about $0.0115 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 2026-09-03.
