Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is akamai/terraform-provider-akamai's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on terraform-provider-akamai 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 terraform-provider-akamai 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

terraform-provider-akamai copilot-instructions.md 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 10d 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.

AI Review Guidelines — terraform-provider-akamai

Meta Information for AI Agents

Review scope: AI agents must always review the entire pull request in full, not just the incremental diff. This means:

  • Read and consider all files in the repository that are relevant to the changes, not only the lines added or modified.
  • Evaluate the impact of changes in the context of the whole codebase.
  • Ensure consistency, correctness, and adherence to project conventions across the full scope of the PR, including unchanged surrounding code and its dependencies.

This file is the source of truth used by AI review agents when reviewing pull requests in the terraform-provider-akamai repository. Every rule below MUST be checked for the changed code (additions and modifications). Do NOT flag pre-existing issues in code that is not part of the change unless it is directly touched by the PR.

Each rule has a stable id so review tools can reference it.


1. General practices

  • GEN-01: If newly added functionality is not yet Globally Available (GA), the code must contain a comment stating when it is expected to reach GA.
  • GEN-02: When the change is part of a multi-repo change (e.g. requires a matching edgegrid-golang or cli-terraform change), the branch name in this repo must be exactly identical to the branch name in the other repos.
  • GEN-03: A change that forces an end-user to manually adjust their Terraform configuration (resource/data source schema change) is a breaking change. It must target the feature/sp-breaking-changes branch and is released only once a quarter or less often. When suspecting breaking changes in the PR, let someone from the DEVEXP team know to help identify the correct sp-breaking-changes branch. Exception: features still in Beta.
  • GEN-04: Push code in major batches. Do NOT push after every tiny piece of work — the build takes 35+ minutes on limited shared resources. Run linter and tests locally first.
  • GEN-05: A Documentation ticket must be created early enough so the techwriter team has time to prepare the documentation. Track comments and status changes there.
  • GEN-06: When adding a new resource, adding a new required/optional attribute, or dropping an existing required/optional attribute, evaluate whether cli-terraform must change as well. Those changes ship together.
  • GEN-07: If the PR adds methods that require edgegrid-golang changes and/or cli-terraform changes, state in the PR that all related PRs must be released together.

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.
