HVE Core is a collection of agents, prompts, coding instructions, and skills for building repeatable software-development workflows with GitHub Copilot. It is intended for individuals and teams that want structured AI-assisted research, planning, implementation, and review, while the catalogue entries provide many of its reusable workflow components.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00028 | $0.00645 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00258 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00129 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00064 |
Grade A, and why
owasp-infrastructure 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 11d 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.

OWASP® Infrastructure Top 10 — Skill Entry
This SKILL.md is the entrypoint for the OWASP Infrastructure Top 10 skill.
The skill encodes the OWASP Infrastructure Security Top 10 (2024) as structured, machine-readable references that an agent can query to identify, assess, and remediate infrastructure security risks.
Normative references (Infrastructure Top 10)
- 00 Vulnerability Index
- 01 Outdated Software
- 02 Insufficient Threat Detection
- 03 Insecure Configurations
- 04 Insecure Resource and User Management
- 05 Insecure Use of Cryptography
- 06 Insecure Network Access Management
- 07 Insecure Authentication Methods and Default Credentials
- 08 Information Leakage

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.

owasp-infrastructure is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/hve-core (1,606 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 645 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
