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 | $0.01781 | $0.01781 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00712 | $0.00712 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00356 | $0.00356 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00178 | $0.00178 |
Grade A, and why
org-mcp-server 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 2mo 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
org-mcp-server
org-mcp-server is a Rust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for org-mode knowledge management. It provides search, content access, and note linking capabilities for org-mode files through the MCP protocol.
ALWAYS reference these instructions first and fallback to the CLAUDE.md file, search, or bash commands only when you encounter unexpected information that does not match the info here.
Working Effectively
Bootstrap and Build
- NEVER CANCEL builds or tests - they may take up to 90 seconds to complete
- Build the workspace:
cargo build-- takes ~47 seconds. NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 90+ seconds. - Release build:
cargo build --release-- takes ~47 seconds. NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 90+ seconds. - Run tests:
cargo test-- takes ~2 seconds, 36 tests. Safe timeout 30+ seconds. - Lint code:
cargo clippy-- takes ~11 seconds. Safe timeout 30+ seconds. - Format code:
cargo fmt-- takes <1 second. Always run before commits. - Check formatting:
cargo fmt --check-- takes <1 second.
Development Commands
- Run CLI tool:
cargo run --bin org-cli -- --help - Run MCP server:
cargo run --bin org-mcp-server(needs valid org directory) - Run examples:
cargo run --example <name>(examples inorg-core/examples/) - Test specific crate:
cargo test -p <crate-name> - Build specific crate:
cargo build -p <crate-name>
Validation
CRITICAL: Always Test These Scenarios After Changes
-
Build validation: Run
cargo buildand wait for completion (90+ seconds) -
Test validation: Run
cargo testand verify all 36 tests pass -
CLI validation: Test core CLI functionality:
cargo run --bin org-cli -- list --dir org-core/tests/fixtures cargo run --bin org-cli -- read --dir org-core/tests/fixtures sample.org cargo run --bin org-cli -- outline --dir org-core/tests/fixtures sample.org cargo run --bin org-cli -- element-by-id --dir org-core/tests/fixtures simple-123
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.
