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

github-copilot-instructions copilot-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.

GitHub Copilot General Instructions

About Me

I am a Senior Data Scientist. My main focus is on developing robust, scalable, and maintainable data science solutions. I work with Python in Visual Studio Code. My expertise includes data cleaning, exploratory data analysis (EDA), statistical modeling, machine learning, and MLOps.

About This Project

This repository contains utilities for Gasco - a comprehensive data application built on Google Cloud Platform for inventory analysis and resource management. The project encompasses everything from data engineering and MLOps to frontend development.

Project Structure

  • /data: Raw and processed datasets, configuration files
  • /notebooks: Jupyter notebooks for exploration (e.g., analisis_exploratorio_inventario.ipynb)
  • /src: Modular Python source code (data processing, utilities, documentation tools)
  • /tests: Unit and integration tests using pytest
  • /terraform: Infrastructure as Code for GCP deployment
  • /.vscode: VS Code workspace configuration with GitHub Copilot integration
  • /.github/instructions: Hierarchical instruction system for GitHub Copilot

Current Dataset Context

  • Primary focus: Inventory analysis (inventario_recursos_gasco_2025_06_25.csv)
  • Asset management: JSON data for assets tracking (assets_gasco_2025_06_25.json)
  • Analysis outputs: Query analysis logs and structured reports
  • Business domain: Resource inventory, asset tracking, operational analytics

Tech Stack

This project utilizes a modern, cloud-native tech stack centered around Python and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

The specific technologies and libraries for a given task depend on the role being performed. You MUST refer to the detailed tech stack defined in the relevant file within the .github/instructions/roles/ directory (e.g., data-scientist.md, data-engineer.md, mlops-engineer.md, frontend-developer.md, cloud-architect.md, qa-engineer.md, visualization-engineer.md, business-analyst.md, project-manager.md).

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.
