AKS-Lab-GitHubCopilot: Command for GitHub Copilot

.github/prompts/new-agent.prompt.md

new-agent is a command for GitHub Copilot from microsoft/AKS-Lab-GitHubCopilot. It costs 19 tokens per session (119 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deprecated shortcut that redirects users to the newer agent-builder custom agent. It remains so older links continue to work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use agent-builder instead when you need to generate a new coding agent according to the repository's rules.
Why use it?
It prevents older workflows from breaking, while directing new agent-generation requests to the current tool.

About the project

ZavaShop on AKS and Azure Container Apps is a hands-on lab for delivering a multi-agent retail supply-chain application from requirements through deployment. It demonstrates a team of six GitHub Copilot custom coding agents working across specifications, application code, MCP servers, tests, infrastructure, and CI. The catalogue entries define the agents, skills, and instructions used in that workflow.

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

new-agent 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

Deprecated

This slash prompt has been replaced by the agent-builder custom agent.

Switch to the agent-builder mode (agent picker → ZavaShop → agent-builder) and ask:

Generate src/agents/<name>/ following the AGENTS.md house rules.

agent-builder.agent.md carries the right tools, skills, and refusal rules. This file is retained only so that older labs do not break links.

Changes

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.
