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

tfenv 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.

What it actually says

Copilot Instructions — tfenv

This file is intentionally minimal. The canonical source for project architecture, conventions, and agent guidelines is AGENTS.md at the repository root.

Auto-Loaded Instructions

Language-specific coding standards are in .github/instructions/ and use applyTo frontmatter to load automatically when editing matching files:

File Applies To Purpose
bash.instructions.md **/*.sh Bash coding standards

Agent Definitions

Agent definitions live in .github/agents/ as .agent.md files. Each agent has a YAML frontmatter block with description, tools, model, and argument-hint fields.

Key References

  • AGENTS.md — master context: project overview, core principles, conventions, work type ownership, essential commands
  • SECURITY.md — vulnerability reporting policy
  • docs/adr/ — Architecture Decision Records
Changes

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.
