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 | $0.02321 | $0.02321 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00928 | $0.00928 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00464 | $0.00464 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00232 | $0.00232 |
Grade A, and why
Copilot-Skills context7.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 1mo 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.

Context7 - Automatic Context Instructions
Related Prompt: /context7
Related Skill: .github/copilot-skills/documentation/context7/
Triggers: context7, up-to-date docs, latest documentation, library documentation, resolve library, get docs
Context: Up-to-Date Library Documentation
When working with library documentation or when user queries mention getting current docs, this context is automatically activated.
Core Principles
Always Use Current Documentation
- Never rely on outdated docs from training data
- Always check Context7 first for library information
- Verify versions - libraries change rapidly
- Trust scores matter - prefer 7-10 range
Progressive Documentation Retrieval
- Start broad - Resolve library ID first
- Get specific - Request docs with focused topics
- Iterate - Refine topic if results aren't helpful
- Cache - Remember frequently used patterns
Default Behaviors
When user mentions "need docs for {library}"
- Suggest
/context7skill prompt - Call
resolve-library-idwith library name - Show top 3-5 matches with trust scores
- Ask user to confirm which library
- Fetch docs with relevant topic
When user mentions "latest {library} features"
- Resolve library ID
- Check for version information
- Get docs with topic "new features" or "changelog"
- Highlight recent updates
- Compare with older versions if available
When enhancing a skill
- Identify which libraries the skill covers
- Resolve IDs for each library
- Fetch current documentation
- Update
patterns.mdwith latest examples - Refresh
reference.mdwith current APIs - Note the update date and Context7 source
When user asks "which library should I use"
- Resolve multiple candidate libraries
- Compare trust scores
- Compare snippet counts (coverage indicator)
- Fetch brief docs for top candidates
- Present comparison table
- Recommend based on use case + trust + coverage
Quality Guidelines
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.
