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 | $0.00282 | $0.00282 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00113 | $0.00113 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00056 | $0.00056 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00028 |
Grade A, and why
humanfile 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
.human File Boundaries
This project uses .human files to declare files where a human takes
responsibility. Before editing any file, check if it is covered by a .human
rule. Listed files are not necessarily hand-written — they are files the human
wants to stay in the loop on.
Rules
- Look for
.humanfiles from the target file's directory up to the repo root. - Patterns use
.gitignoreglob syntax:- Plain patterns (e.g.
core/) → confirm: ask the user before editing. !-prefixed patterns (e.g.!LICENSE) → readonly: do NOT edit.- Unmatched files → free: edit normally.
- Plain patterns (e.g.
- Later patterns override earlier ones (last match wins).
- Deeper
.humanfiles override shallower ones.
Behavior
- free: proceed normally.
- confirm: ask the user for explicit permission before editing. State the intended change.
- readonly: do NOT edit. Inform the user the file is protected by
.human.
Treat confirm and readonly files as source of truth — when you see
conflicting information in the repo, prefer the content in these files.
Never modify .human files without the user explicitly asking.
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.
