github:copilot

github:copilot is a skill for Claude Code from bendrucker/claude. It costs 65 tokens per session (3,007 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review skill that asks the GitHub Copilot command-line tool and another GPT model for a second opinion on a code change. It then helps sort through the findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for cross-model checks of diffs, especially after a change passes the usual review process, and to inspect current review limits before spending credits.
Why use it?
It provides an independent review so the same reviewer is less likely to repeat a blind spot already present in the change. It also tracks review cost and available credits.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: positional $N argument; mentions Codex.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/review.test.ts, scripts/review.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Agentic mode passes `--allow-all-tools` and subtracts from it: `--deny-tool write` and `--deny-tool url`, plus `shell(git push)`, `shell(gh:*)`, `shell(curl:*)`, and `shell(wget:*)`. Deny beats allow, so those six are th

Copilot Review

A second model reads the diff. The point is a different reviewer rather than a better one: Claude re-reading its own work shares the blind spot that produced it. It has already caught an unchecked-failure defect that two Claude review passes both cleared.

What It Costs

The plan grants a fixed monthly entitlement of AI credits, which --status prints. It resets on the 1st and does not roll over. Four measured facts shape every choice:

  • A terra call pays about 3.5 credits before it reads a line of your code, writing 14k tokens of system prompt and tool definitions to cache at 250 credits per million. That is half a median review. A second call is never a rounding error.
  • Output costs 6x input and 60x cache_read. Verbose answers run up a bill faster than large diffs.
  • Nothing caches between calls. Separate spawns are separate sessions, and each one re-pays its whole prompt at the cache_write rate. Three angles cost three full prompts.
  • gpt-5.6-luna prices every token class at exactly a tenth of terra.

Sizing a Review

--status prints the current tier and the bands, and spends nothing. Run it when you are unsure whether a change qualifies.

The tier comes from pace, credits remaining divided by days to reset. Under 25 is constrained, over 60 is abundant, and everything between is normal. The nominal allowance, the entitlement over 31 days, is the yardstick --status prints pace against, and it decides nothing on its own. The tier sets how strict the bar is, never how much to spend. Manufacturing reviews to use up an allotment is the failure mode this guards against, so credits left unspent in a month where every qualifying change got a full review are the right outcome.

tier gate
constrained terra only on risk-surface hits, luna one-shot otherwise
normal terra one-shot on gate-worthy changes, skip the rest
abundant terra one-shot on any substantial human change, 3 angles on the risk class, agentic available

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.

github:copilot is a skill published in the GitHub repository bendrucker/claude (18 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 3,007 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
