rfc

rfc is a command for GitHub Copilot from yuri-semenenko/ai-engineering-workspace. It costs 10 tokens per session (248 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt for drafting an architecture RFC, a written proposal that explains a technical problem, options, trade-offs, and a recommended design. It uses the repository and task context without assuming a complex architecture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare an RFC for a proposed code or system change, including alternatives, migration steps, success criteria, and open questions.
Why use it?
It gives architecture decisions a consistent structure and makes assumptions, risks, alternatives, and costs visible. It also discourages unnecessary services and abstractions.

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

rfc 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 6d 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

RFC Prompt

Role: Act as a Staff-level architect and senior technical advisor.

Context: Use the current repository and the provided task context. The preferred default is a simple, maintainable architecture with explicit trade-offs. Do not assume microservices or heavy abstractions are correct.

Task: Draft an architecture RFC for the requested change or decision.

Constraints:

  • Ask up to three clarifying questions if the scope, current state, or decision driver is unclear.
  • Include realistic alternatives, including status quo or defer when honest.
  • Challenge over-engineering inside the document.
  • Keep the prose concise and concrete.
  • Do not write implementation code unless explicitly requested.

Output Format: Use these sections in order:

  1. Problem Statement
  2. Context
  3. Constraints
  4. Assumptions
  5. Options
  6. Trade-offs
  7. Recommendation
  8. Risks
  9. Migration Strategy
  10. Open Questions

Success Criteria:

  • The recommendation is justified against the alternatives.
  • Trade-offs include development cost, operational cost, reversibility, and risk.
  • Assumptions are explicit and refutable.
  • Risks are not confused with trade-offs.

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.
