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 | $0.00623 | $0.00623 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00249 | $0.00249 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00125 | $0.00125 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00062 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
copilot-instructions pr.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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pull Request Goals
Pull Request goals: clear title with concise scope; English language for title/description; reference related issues (e.g., Fixes #123); small, focused changes; align with repository guidelines.
Structure
Title [type: scope] short summary; Description with Context | Changes | Rationale | Risks | Testing | Docs | Breaking Changes | Migration; include Applied instructions section listing the instruction files actually followed.
Title Format
- Use imperative mood
- Keep <= 72 chars
- Include area prefix when helpful (e.g., Core, Tools, Samples)
- Avoid redundant words
- Prefer clarity over cleverness
[fix: backend] Add exponential retry with jitter to HttpClientFactory
[feat: database] Add keyset pagination and missing indexes
[chore: infra] Harden Dockerfile and add readiness probe
Description Content
Context (what/why); Changes (what changed at code/infra level); Rationale (why this approach); Risks (impact/mitigations); Testing (how validated: unit/integration/E2E); Docs (README/CHANGELOG updated); Breaking Changes (yes/no and details); Migration (steps if any).
Context: users face transient 502/504
Changes: add Polly WaitAndRetry with jitter to HttpClientFactory
Rationale: improve resilience per backend.instructions.md
Risks: excessive retries mitigated by maxAttempts=3 and timeout
Testing: unit tests added + integration smoke
Docs: CHANGELOG updated
Breaking Changes: no
Migration: none

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.

copilot-instructions pr.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ThiagoGuislotti/copilot-instructions (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 623 tokens to every session, about $0.0025 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 2026-08-31.
