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 | $0.01177 | $0.01177 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00471 | $0.00471 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00235 | $0.00235 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00118 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
Copilot-Skills lazycommit.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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Lazycommit Skill - Automatic Context Instructions
Related Prompt: /lazycommit
Related Skill: .github/copilot-skills/lazycommit/
Triggers: commit, auto commit, generate commit, write commit message, make a commit, stage and commit, lazy commit
Context: AI-Powered Commit Message Generation
When working with commits or when user queries contain commit-related keywords, this context is automatically activated.
Core Principles
Mimic Lazycommit Behavior
- Stage: Detect staged changes (or stage all if nothing staged)
- Analyze: Build diff context with file summary and numstat
- Generate: Use Claude to create conventional commit message
- Confirm: Show message and let user approve/edit/regenerate
- Execute: Commit only after user approval
Conventional Commits Format
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore
Subject: imperative mood, lowercase, no period, <90 chars
Quality Standards
- Single-line messages (unless user requests body)
- Descriptive scope (e.g.,
auth,api,ui,deps) - Clear intent (what changed and why it matters)
- Follows conventions consistently
Default Behaviors
When user says "commit" or "auto commit"
- Check
git status --shortfor staged changes - If nothing staged: run
git add . - Get list of changed files:
git diff --cached --name-only - Generate prompt with: file list, numstat, and full diff (truncated if >10KB)
- Ask Claude to generate conventional commit message
- Automatically commit:
git commit -m "message" - Display the committed message to user
When user says "generate commit message"
- Same as "commit" workflow
- Generates and automatically commits the message
When user says "make a commit"
- Same as "commit"
- Full workflow end-to-end
When user requests "stage and commit"
- Explicitly stage all changes
- Generate and commit in one flow
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.
