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
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

SkillSpector: 8 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00031 | $0.03088 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.01235 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00618 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00309 |
Grade A, and why
security-planning 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 yesterday.
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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Security Planning
This skill packages durable security-planning and plan-drift analysis used by Security Planner, Security Reviewer, and Code Review: operational bucket guidance, STRIDE analysis patterns, standards cross-references, NIST control-family references, security-specific backlog formats, and correlation of a Security Planner baseline with current security findings.
When to use
Use this skill when you need to:
- Classify application components into the operational security buckets used during planning.
- Evaluate threats with STRIDE-based analysis, including AI-specific extensions when
raiEnabledis true. - Map bucket findings to standards references and control families without re-embedding long standard tables.
- Derive security-specific backlog priorities and RAI work item categories for Phase 5 handoff.
- Correlate a Security Planner baseline with caller-supplied current findings to identify validated controls, control drift, residual planned risks, newly introduced threats, and obsolete plan items.
- Generate a dual-output TM7 model plus markdown report from a YAML/JSON threat-model spec for human-reviewed audit workflows.
Security plan drift analysis
Use the drift capability when a Security Planner baseline and current-state security findings already exist. It correlates supplied evidence only: it does not scan, profile, select security skills, verify findings, re-rate severity, invoke another agent, or modify source, plan, reviewer, backlog, or state artifacts.
- Resolve and extract the baseline through drift-input-contracts.md.
- Normalize caller-supplied audit, diff, or Code Review findings without treating plan-mode evidence as repository state.
- Filter default exclusions, then classify only conclusions supported by drift-comparison-model.md.
- Render the direct, Security Reviewer, Security Planner, or Code Review adaptation from drift-report-contract.md.
- Use drift-worked-examples.md for deterministic behavior scenarios and expected category suppression.
What ships with it
54 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.

security-planning is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/hve-core (1,606 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 3,088 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 2026-08-30.
