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 | $0.01050 | $0.01050 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00525 | $0.00525 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00210 | $0.00210 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00105 | $0.00105 |
Grade A, and why
gitlab-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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit Message Rules (CRITICAL)
ALL commits MUST follow Conventional Commits format:
<type>(scope): <description>
Required Commit Types
| Type | Description | Version Bump |
|---|---|---|
feat |
New feature or capability | Minor |

Commit Message Guidelines
- Type is REQUIRED - Never omit the type prefix
- Use imperative mood - "Add feature" not "Added feature"
- Keep subject under 72 characters
- Do NOT end with period
- Scope is optional but recommended - e.g.,
feat(webhooks):,fix(mrs):
FORBIDDEN Commit Messages
These patterns will FAIL CI validation:
Initial plan- Missing typeUpdate file.ts- Missing typeWIP- Usewip:type insteadFix stuff- Too vague, needs scope- Any message starting with emoji without type
Good Examples
feat(webhooks): add webhook management tools
fix(labels): resolve null pointer in label handler
test(integration): add CRUD lifecycle tests for webhooks
refactor(schemas): extract validation to shared utility
docs(readme): document webhook event types
chore(deps): update dependencies
ci(workflows): add conventional commits validation
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.
