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

ossec 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to postfix copilot-instructions.md — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Copilot Instructions for Sous Chefs Cookbooks

Repository Overview

Chef cookbook for managing software installation and configuration. Part of the Sous Chefs cookbook ecosystem.

Key Facts: Ruby-based, Chef >= 16 required, supports various OS platforms (check metadata.rb, kitchen.yml and .github/workflows/ci.yml for which platforms to specifically test)

Project Structure

Critical Paths:

  • recipes/ - Chef recipes for cookbook functionality (if this is a recipe-driven cookbook)
  • resources/ - Custom Chef resources with properties and actions (if this is a resource-driven cookbook)
  • spec/ - ChefSpec unit tests
  • test/integration/ - InSpec integration tests (tests all platforms supported)
  • test/cookbooks/ or test/fixtures/ - Example cookbooks used during testing that show good examples of custom resource usage
  • attributes/ - Configuration for recipe driven cookbooks (not applicable to resource cookbooks)
  • libraries/ - Library helpers to assist with the cookbook. May contain multiple files depending on complexity of the cookbook.
  • templates/ - ERB templates that may be used in the cookbook
  • files/ - files that may be used in the cookbook
  • metadata.rb, Policyfile.rb - Cookbook dependency resolution

Build and Test System

Environment Setup

MANDATORY: Install Chef Workstation first - provides chef, cookstyle, kitchen tools.

Essential Commands (strict order)

chef install Policyfile.rb                   # Install dependencies (always first)
cookstyle                       # Ruby/Chef linting
yamllint .                      # YAML linting
markdownlint-cli2 '**/*.md'     # Markdown linting
chef exec rspec                 # Unit tests (ChefSpec)
# Integration tests will be done via the ci.yml action. Do not run these. Only check the action logs for issues after CI is done running.

Critical Testing Details

  • Kitchen Matrix: Multiple OS platforms × software versions (check kitchen.yml for specific combinations)
  • Docker Required: Integration tests use Dokken driver
  • CI Environment: Set CHEF_LICENSE=accept-no-persist
  • Full CI Runtime: 30+ minutes for complete matrix

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.
