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

is-ai-native 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.

What it actually says

  • For design and frontend related tasks, always use Playwright MCP for making resulting screenshots and always attach these screenshots to the PR description.
  • Put all made screenshots ONLY in a folder named artifacts at the root of the repository.
  • For every change of the logic, configuration, user experience make sure you checked and updated web application, vs code extension, and github cli extension.
  • For every change to configuration files or configuration documentation, make sure saved agents and saved prompts under .github/agents and .github/prompts stay in sync with the current file paths, workflows, and source-of-truth references.
  • Keep .env.example structurally aligned with the root .env: same keys, same ordering, and same explanatory comments, but never copy real secret values into .env.example.
  • For README reviews and updates, prioritize product consumption and end-user workflows before contributor workflows.
  • In the root README, start with the project description and mention the web app, VS Code extension, GitHub CLI extension, and standalone CLI at the beginning.
  • In the root README, list shared cross-surface capabilities before web app specific details.
  • In the root README, link to the VS Code extension, GitHub CLI extension, and standalone CLI READMEs instead of duplicating their full usage documentation.
  • Keep the root README, standalone CLI README, GitHub CLI extension README, and VS Code extension README aligned in overall structure and writing style.
  • Move local development, release engineering, packaging, and other contributor-focused material to the bottom of each README.

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.
