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

pbi-to-exec-deck 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

Copilot Project Instructions

Read and follow the instructions in COPILOT.md for the full workflow. That file is the authoritative guide for converting Power BI dashboards into executive presentations.

Quick Reference

When a user asks you to convert a dashboard (PPTX, PDF, PBIP, or PBIX):

  1. Extract: python convert_dashboard.py --source "<path>" --prepare --assistant copilot
  2. Analyze: Read temp/analysis_request.json, read each slide image (temp/slide_N.png), generate analyst-grade insights, write temp/insights.json
  3. Verify: python convert_dashboard.py --verify (catches missing charts, vanilla headlines, slide count mismatches)
  4. Build: python convert_dashboard.py --build --output "<output>.pptx" (also runs verify automatically)

Critical quality rules:

  • Every slide with quantitative data MUST have at least one "chart" spec — don't let slides fall back to raw screenshots
  • If a slide has "ocr_used": true, cross-verify every number-to-label pairing against the image — OCR context can misattribute
  • Every headline must pass the "Would a VP forward this?" test — no vanilla statements like "shows the breakdown"

Always follow the full instructions in COPILOT.md — it contains the JSON schema, insight formula, chart spec format, quality rules, and accuracy guidelines.

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.
