Borrowing it
Nothing to install: this file belongs to microsoftgbb/project-nighthawk. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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 | $0.00036 | $0.01069 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00535 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00214 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
nighthawk-local-repos 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 8d 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 — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Nighthawk Local Repository Setup
This skill covers tool requirements, local repo paths, initial clone commands, and the mandatory git pull step that every Nighthawk researcher agent must perform before starting research.
Required Tools
| Tool | Purpose | Verify |
|---|---|---|
git |
Clone and update local repos | git --version |
| GitHub Copilot in VS Code | Agent runtime (grep_search, file_search, read_file, semantic_search, edit) |
Active in workspace |
Microsoft Learn MCP (microsoft-learn/*) |
Official documentation, ARM template references | Available as deferred tool |
GitHub MCP (github/search_code etc.) |
Remote code search — fallback only if local clone is absent | Available as deferred tool |
Local Repository Paths
All repos are cloned under repos/ in the workspace root. Always search local clones first using grep_search, file_search, read_file, and semantic_search. Only fall back to GitHub MCP if the local clone is missing and cannot be created.

Initial Clone (one-time setup)
If any repo is missing, clone it with --depth=1 to keep it fast:
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.

nighthawk-local-repos is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoftgbb/project-nighthawk (31 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,069 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
