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

ab100 AGENTS.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 2mo 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.

Repository Purpose

This is Tim Warner's teaching and learning repository for AB-100: Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect. It supports an O'Reilly Live Learning event scheduled for April 30, 2026 and serves two audiences:

  • Learners preparing for Microsoft exam AB-100.
  • Instructor delivery for a 4-hour O'Reilly Live Events class.

The repo has three major work areas:

  • docs/ -- canonical instructional, exam, policy, resource, and slide-deck material.
  • .github/ and .vscode/ -- AB-100 Cert Buddy Copilot agent, skills, prompts, and Microsoft Learn MCP config.
  • src/ -- classroom POC app and deployment assets for Hour 3.

Source Of Truth

Use this precedence when facts conflict:

  1. docs/ab100-exam-objectives.md -- canonical AB-100 skills measured.
  2. docs/microsoft-certification-policies.md and docs/pearson-vue-registration.md -- exam policy, registration, and support facts.
  3. src/README.md -- canonical POC app architecture, setup, verification, and teardown flow.
  4. docs/course-plan-april-2026.md -- canonical 4-hour live course pacing.
  5. Hour-specific materials and learning-path mirrors.

When editing AB-100 factual content, ground against Microsoft Learn before changing exam objectives, product behavior, licensing, or certification policy. If the fact cannot be verified, say so or omit it.

Course Structure

Microsoft publishes three AB-100 domains:

  • Plan AI-powered business solutions: 25-30%.
  • Design AI-powered business solutions: 25-30%.
  • Deploy AI-powered business solutions: 40-45%.

This course deliberately splits the Deploy domain across two hours:

  • Hour 1: Plan AI Solutions.
  • Hour 2: Design AI Solutions.
  • Hour 3: Deploy AI Solutions -- implementation, monitoring, ALM, and operations.
  • Hour 4: Security & Exam Mastery -- security, governance, Responsible AI, and exam readiness.

Do not "correct" the course to a three-hour or three-module split.

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.
