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.
npx agentmods add instructions/snowdreamtech/template/copilot-instructionsgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/snowdreamtech/templateWhat 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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00370 | $0.00370 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00185 | $0.00185 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00074 | $0.00074 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00037 | $0.00037 |
Grade A, and why
template copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ measured today.
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
๐จ CRITICAL SYSTEM INSTRUCTION ๐จ
Before answering ANY prompt or executing ANY code in this repository, you MUST first read and strictly adhere to ALL the rules defined in the following directory:
Rules Location
๐ .agent/rules/
๐จ CRITICAL TOKEN LIMIT PROTOCOL ๐จ
Do NOT load all files in .agent/rules/ simultaneously. You will exceed the context window.
You MUST follow this strict loading sequence:
- Load Core Fundamentals: Always read
01-general.mdthrough12-docs.md. - Consult the Lazy-Loading Router: Read
.agent/rules/00-index.mdto discover technology-specific rules. - Load On Demand: Based on the index, load ONLY the specific
.mdfiles relevant to your current task (e.g.,react.mdfor a React task).
Why This File Exists
This project uses a unified rule system to ensure consistent AI behavior
across all AI-powered IDEs and tools (Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot,
Cline, Claude, Gemini, Trae, Roo Code, Augment, Amazon Q, Kiro,
Continue, Junie, etc.). This file is a redirect entry point โ
the actual rules live in .agent/rules/ as the Single Source of Truth.
Failure to follow the rules inside
.agent/rules/and the Lazy-Loading protocol is completely unacceptable. Spec Kit AI IDE Integration This project uses Spec Kit. CRITICAL: If you need to execute workflows or commands, refer to the files in.agent/workflows/. CRITICAL: For project governance and rules, refer to.agent/rules/00-index.md.
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.

template copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository snowdreamtech/template (15 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 370 tokens to every session, about $0.0019 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 2026-09-01.
