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 | $0.00229 | $0.00229 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00114 | $0.00114 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00046 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
repobrain 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.
What it actually says
GitHub Copilot bootstrap instructions
Authoritative behavior rules live in AGENTS.md.
Before acting:
- Read
AGENTS.md. - Load dynamic context from
.repobrain/(conventions.md,structure.md, decisions, memory).
Hard rule — query the RepoBrain hub first
When .repobrain/ exists, any broad codebase question (architecture, "where
is X implemented", "how does X work", "what calls X", dependency/impact
analysis, data flow, onboarding) MUST go through rb-ask first:
rb-ask "<question>" --workspace .
Do NOT manually grep, rg, find, or fan out file reads to answer a
broad question before you have run rb-ask for it. Manual search is allowed
only to verify exact lines after rb-ask points at a file, for narrow
single-symbol lookups, or when rb-ask is genuinely unavailable. See
AGENTS.md for the full policy.
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.

repobrain copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository study8677/repobrain (1,321 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 229 tokens to every session, about $0.0011 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 2026-08-30.
