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

engrava-mcp 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 5d 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.

Commit messages

  • Use Conventional Commits 1.0.0: <type>(<scope>): <description>. See CLAUDE.md for the type table.
  • Use only durable public identifiers: this repo's release tags (vX.Y.Z), this repo's GitHub issue/PR numbers (#N), and locally-documented ADRs (docs/adr/ADR-NNN-*.md after the file exists here).
  • Generic feature descriptions are welcome; concise imperative subject lines preferred (max 72 chars).
  • Default PR target: the active release/vX.Y.Z branch. This repo has no dev branch; the version is set by hand in pyproject.toml and server.json, CHANGELOG.md is hand-maintained, and a release is a manual vX.Y.Z tag on main.

Branch names

  • Format: <type>/<kebab-description>. Plain English. ≤ 50 chars.
  • No internal identifiers, no abbreviations that wouldn't make sense to someone reading the repo for the first time.

Code style

  • Follow the existing patterns in src/. Read 3-5 nearby files before introducing a new pattern.
  • Adhere to the quality bar described in CLAUDE.md — linting clean, typing strict, coverage above threshold, no shortcuts.
  • Match the project's existing naming, file layout, and import conventions; don't invent new structures unprompted.

What to avoid

  • Don't reference internal-looking identifiers or paths in commits, code comments, or PR descriptions. If something feels like it belongs to a private workflow, leave it out and the maintainer can add a public mapping (a #N issue/PR reference) later.
  • Don't introduce dependencies without checking the project's existing stack — extra deps need explicit justification.
  • Don't suggest --no-verify to skip the local pre-commit hook except in maintainer-approved emergencies.

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.
