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

azure-policy-audit 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 6d 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

Azure Policy Audit Skill

Review Azure governance controls for coverage, remediation completeness, exemption hygiene, and compliance traceability.

USE FOR

  • Auditing Azure Policy definitions and initiatives
  • Checking remediation tasks and DeployIfNotExists coverage
  • Reviewing exemption usage, expiry, and justification quality
  • Verifying compliance reports reflect the intended scope

DO NOT USE FOR

  • Application business logic
  • RBAC-only access questions
  • Generic troubleshooting without a policy concern
  • Infrastructure changes that do not affect policy

Workflow

  1. Confirm the intended control and the scope it should cover.
  2. Check the effect, parameters, and initiative composition for correctness.
  3. Review exemptions for justification, expiry, and drift risk.
  4. Validate remediation and reporting paths are complete.
  5. Summarize gaps with severity, evidence, and next steps.

Output

Return:

  • Verdict: pass, pass with notes, or request changes
  • Findings with severity and evidence
  • Coverage gaps or false-positive risk
  • Suggested remediation or policy update

Use with policy-as-code-compliance agent.

Changes

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.
