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 | $0.00725 | $0.00725 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00290 | $0.00290 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00145 | $0.00145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00072 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
ssd-ai markdown.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.
This is a copy
100% identical to custom_github_copilot_agent_builder markdown.instructions.md — 0 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Markdown Content Rules
The following markdown content rules are enforced in the validators:
- Headings: Use appropriate heading levels (H2, H3, etc.) to structure your content. Do not use an H1 heading, as this will be generated based on the title.
- Lists: Use bullet points or numbered lists for lists. Ensure proper indentation and spacing.
- Code Blocks: Use fenced code blocks for code snippets. Specify the language for syntax highlighting.
- Links: Use proper markdown syntax for links. Ensure that links are valid and accessible.
- Images: Use proper markdown syntax for images. Include alt text for accessibility.
- Tables: Use markdown tables for tabular data. Ensure proper formatting and alignment.
- Line Length: Limit line length to 400 characters for readability.
- Whitespace: Use appropriate whitespace to separate sections and improve readability.
- Front Matter: Include YAML front matter at the beginning of the file with required metadata fields.
Formatting and Structure
Follow these guidelines for formatting and structuring your markdown content:
- Headings: Use
##for H2 and###for H3. Ensure that headings are used in a hierarchical manner. Recommend restructuring if content includes H4, and more strongly recommend for H5. - Lists: Use
-for bullet points and1.for numbered lists. Indent nested lists with two spaces. - Code Blocks: Use triple backticks (
) to create fenced code blocks. Specify the language after the opening backticks for syntax highlighting (e.g.,csharp). - Links: Use
[link text](URL)for links. Ensure that the link text is descriptive and the URL is valid. - Images: Use
for images. Include a brief description of the image in the alt text. - Tables: Use
|to create tables. Ensure that columns are properly aligned and headers are included. - Line Length: Break lines at 80 characters to improve readability. Use soft line breaks for long paragraphs.
- Whitespace: Use blank lines to separate sections and improve readability. Avoid excessive whitespace.
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.
