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

copilot-cert-prep CLAUDE.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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

This public teaching repository supports Tim Warner's Pass Your GitHub Copilot Certification Exam O'Reilly Live Learning class. Current delivery: Thursday, September 24, 2026, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Central / 7-11 a.m. Pacific. Content baseline reviewed September 23, 2026. Follow the canonical course plan and shared repository instructions, which also govern GitHub Copilot in this repo.

Authority

Microsoft writing guidance governs item style; O'Reilly is the training identity. Keep learner-facing branding, title slides, masters, footers, and speaker notes consistent with that identity. Superseded decks and exam PDFs belong in Git history, not the current learning route. COURSE-PLAN.md is the only course plan; do not add a dated or alternate one. The remaining June-named Markdown file is a compatibility redirect, not an alternate source of truth. The shared instructions list six removed directory trees that must not be recreated.

Changes

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.
