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

copy-thief 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 8d 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 / agent instructions

Este repositório é uma skill de copywriting (PT-BR) para tráfego frio de Ads. A fonte da verdade operacional é SKILL.md; um mapa do repositório e as regras estão em AGENTS.md.

Essencial:

  • Workflow obrigatório: diagnóstico → estrutura aprovada pelo usuário → copy. Nunca pule para a copy completa sem a estrutura aprovada.
  • Nunca fabrique prova (depoimentos, números, resultados). Use placeholders explícitos.
  • Pontuação: nunca use travessão nem hífen isolado - como pontuação. Hífen dentro de palavra é permitido.
  • Idioma de saída: PT-BR.
  • Não há build nem testes. .firecrawl/ é ignorado e não é necessário.
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.
