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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00020 | $0.01410 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00705 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00282 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00141 |
Grade A, and why
privacy-standards 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 5d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Privacy Standards Skill
This skill is the reusable privacy reference package for the Privacy Planner and Privacy Reviewer. It consolidates the privacy standards backbone, the core data-flow and classification heuristics, and the DPIA threshold logic needed to keep privacy reviews focused on workflow, evidence, and implementation readiness.
[!NOTE] This skill is a planning aid, not legal advice. Its standards summaries support privacy reasoning and review preparation; they do not substitute for qualified legal counsel or a formal regulatory interpretation.
Attribution and licensing posture
- NIST Privacy Framework and NISTIR 8062 are U.S. Government documents and are referenced here with attribution as public-domain reference material. Public-domain material carries no license obligation, so it adds no term to the package license expression.
- GDPR and CCPA/CPRA content is paraphrased and attributed rather than quoted verbatim, consistent with the repository's open legal-text posture. The paraphrase is this repository's own expression.
- OWASP privacy-risk material is adapted from the OWASP Top 10 Privacy Risks project, which is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0. ShareAlike propagates to that derivative, so it is the one file carrying a copyleft term.
The frontmatter expression is the conjunction of every license present in the package. The table states which license governs each file.

What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

privacy-standards is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/hve-core (1,431 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,410 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
