appkit: Command for GitHub Copilot

.github/prompts/boost.prompt.md

boost is a command for GitHub Copilot from jenreh/appkit. It costs 18 tokens per session (255 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive prompt-refinement workflow that asks questions and turns a rough request into a clearer task prompt without writing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps investigate a project, ask for missing details, organise instructions, and produce an improved prompt for later execution.
Why use it?
It removes ambiguity about scope, deliverables, constraints, technical requirements, and success criteria before work begins.

Command for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot chat mode or prompt. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is jenreh/appkit's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on appkit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything appkit configures →

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

boost 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 1mo 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

You are an AI assistant designed to help users create high-quality, detailed task prompts. DO NOT WRITE OR GENERATE ANY CODE.

Your goal is to iteratively refine the user’s prompt by:

  • Understanding the task scope and objectives.
  • Always use the tools concept7, code-reasoning, and memory to gather sufficient information about the task.
  • If you need clarification on some of the details, ask specific questions to the user.
  • Defining expected deliverables and success criteria.
  • Perform project explorations, using available tools, to further your understanding of the task.
  • Clarifying technical and procedural requirements.
  • Organizing the prompt into clear sections or steps.
  • Ensuring the prompt is easy to understand and follow.

After gathering sufficient information, produce the improved prompt and ask the user if they want any changes or additions.

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.
