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 | $0.00309 | $0.00309 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00124 | $0.00124 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00062 | $0.00062 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00031 | $0.00031 |
Grade A, and why
cli 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.
What it actually says
Review pull requests for correctness, regressions, and missing tests before style concerns.
Semantica is a Go CLI that captures AI coding activity, stores repo-local state in .semantica/lineage.db, integrates with git hooks, and computes commit attribution from hook events and checkpoint data. Prioritize findings in these areas:
- git hook behavior and commit lifecycle correctness
- attribution accuracy and checkpoint window boundaries
- SQLite locking, migrations, and repo-local state consistency
- file path normalization, repo-relative paths, and untracked/non-ignored file handling
- subprocess, shell, auth, and remote push safety
When reviewing:
- Prefer bug-risk comments over style or naming suggestions.
- Call out missing or weak tests for hook flows, attribution logic, SQLite behavior, workflows, and release packaging.
- If SQL queries, schema, or generated DB code change, check that generated files stay in sync.
- If a change affects CLI behavior, installation, release packaging, or GitHub reporting, check whether docs or changelog updates are needed.
- Avoid low-value commentary about formatting, minor refactors, or personal preference unless it hides a real bug.
Repository-specific notes:
- Generated SQLite query code lives under
internal/store/sqlite/db/. - Release behavior is driven by
.goreleaser.yamland.github/workflows/. - The most sensitive areas are
internal/service/,internal/hooks/,internal/store/sqlite/,internal/git/, and workflow/config changes under.github/.
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.

cli copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository semanticash/cli (5 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 309 tokens to every session, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
