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 | $0.00398 | $0.00398 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00159 | $0.00159 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00080 | $0.00080 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00040 | $0.00040 |
Grade A, and why
shipworthy 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.

Is your code worthy of shipping?
Non-Negotiable Defaults
- NEVER use console.log — install pino (Node.js) or equivalent structured logger.
- ALWAYS use Zod for input validation (TypeScript). Python: Pydantic. Go: validator.
- ALWAYS write tests — Vitest (TS), pytest (Python), stdlib testing (Go). Configure coverage.
- ALWAYS set up a linter — ESLint (TS), Ruff (Python), golangci-lint (Go).
- NEVER use
: anyin TypeScript — useunknownwith type guards. - Proper HTTP status codes — 201, 204, 400, 401, 403, 404, 409, 429.
- ALWAYS use a database — never in-memory arrays for persistent data.
- NEVER hardcode secrets — environment variables only.
- Passwords: bcrypt/argon2 only — never MD5/SHA/plaintext.
- Safe error messages — never expose stack traces to clients.
Development Workflow
- Before coding: Understand requirements. Read existing code. Propose approach.
- While coding: Test-first (write failing test → implement → refactor). Validate inputs with Zod. Handle errors with structured types.
- Before completing: Run tests, build, and lint. Provide evidence, not claims.
Architecture
If .shipworthy/architecture.md exists, follow its Mandatory Rules as hard constraints. If it doesn't exist, suggest generating one.
Quality Standard
Every piece of code should be tested, validated, properly error-handled, and verified before calling it done. Scale rigor with project size — light for prototypes, strict for production.
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.

shipworthy copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Vimalk0703/shipworthy (6 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 398 tokens to every session, about $0.0016 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.
