Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00236 | $0.00236 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00094 | $0.00094 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00047 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
awesome-ai-rules 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
Copilot Instructions
This is the main repo-level instruction file. Copilot reads it on every request. For file-type-specific rules, see .github/instructions/ -- those files use applyTo frontmatter to activate only on matching files.
Next.js 15 monorepo with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Drizzle ORM. pnpm workspaces with packages/web (frontend), packages/api (backend logic), and packages/shared (types).
Code Style
- TypeScript strict mode. No
any, no@ts-ignore. - Named exports only. No default exports.
- Use
typefor props, notinterface. - Use
@/path aliases.
Database
- All database access goes through
packages/api/. The web package never importsdrizzle-orm. - Use Drizzle's query builder, not raw SQL.
- Services return plain objects, not ORM row types.
Don't
- Don't use the Pages Router, axios,
React.FC, or barrel files. - Don't commit
.envfiles. - Don't comment on code style or formatting issues.
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.
