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 | $0.00551 | $0.00551 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00220 | $0.00220 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00110 | $0.00110 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00055 | $0.00055 |
Grade A, and why
skills-from-the-artificer 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 today.
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.

Swift Agents — Copilot Instructions
Before proceeding with any task involving Swift code, SwiftUI views, UIKit views, async/await, actors, Sendable, @MainActor, Foundation Models, MLX, Core ML, coremltools, model conversion, MLXLLM, MLXVLM, MLXLMCommon, LLMModelFactory, ChatSession, GenerateParameters, LoRA, Hugging Face models, Keychain, CryptoKit, biometric auth, App Store submission, testing, SwiftData, @Model, ModelContainer, @Query, persistence, schema migration, visionOS, RealityKit, ARKit, immersive spaces, spatial computing, StoreKit, in-app purchases, subscriptions, Product, Transaction, performance profiling, Instruments, MetricKit, hang detection, launch time, memory optimization, Meta Wearables DAT, or any iOS/macOS/visionOS application code:
- Switch to the swift-lead agent
- The swift-lead will determine which specialist agents are needed
- Do NOT write SwiftUI code without mobile-a11y-specialist review
- Do NOT write concurrent code without concurrency-specialist review
- Do NOT handle credentials or encryption without swift-security-specialist review
- Do NOT submit to App Store without app-review-guardian review
- Do NOT convert or optimize ML models without coreml-specialist review
- Do NOT use MLX Swift, MLXLLM, or MLXVLM without mlx-specialist review
- Do NOT write SwiftData models or queries without swiftdata-specialist review
- Do NOT build visionOS or RealityKit features without visionos-specialist review
- Do NOT implement in-app purchases without storekit-specialist review
- Do NOT optimize performance without performance-specialist review
Critical Rules
- For NEW projects or features: Enter plan mode FIRST. Design architecture before writing code.
- NEVER create mock, placeholder, or stub implementations. All code must be real and functional.
- Use built-in SwiftUI features instead of building custom replacements.
- Settings screens MUST use
Form { Section { Toggle/Picker/Stepper } }. Not custom VStacks. - macOS preferences MUST use the
Settings { }scene. Not a custom window. - Persistence MUST use
@AppStoragefor UserDefaults. Not manualUserDefaults.standardcalls. - Use
.searchable,.refreshable,PhotosPicker,ShareLink,SubscriptionStoreView,.confirmationDialog. - Use Swift compiler synthesis (
Codable,Equatable,Hashable) instead of manual implementations.
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.

skills-from-the-artificer copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository The-Artificer-of-Ciphers-LLC/skills-from-the-artificer (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 551 tokens to every session, about $0.0022 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-15.
