own-planner: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/backend.instructions.md

own-planner backend.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from am-space/own-planner. It costs 374 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Backend development instructions for a C# application built with .NET, covering code style, asynchronous operations, dependency injection, and layer boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building or changing application services, web endpoints, infrastructure adapters, validation, logging, and asynchronous server operations.
Why use it?
They keep server-side changes consistent and prevent business logic, database access, and web concerns from being mixed together.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is am-space/own-planner's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on own-planner 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 own-planner 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

own-planner backend.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 2mo 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

Backend Instructions

Technology

  • Use C# for server-side changes.
  • Target .NET 10 and align with the existing code style in the edited project.
  • Preserve nullability annotations and existing async APIs.

Coding rules

  • Prefer async/await for I/O and service operations.
  • Preserve cancellation token flow where applicable.
  • Use dependency injection instead of direct construction when wiring services.
  • Validate public method arguments early.
  • Preserve structured logging patterns based on ILogger<T> and message templates.
  • Avoid sync-over-async unless there is already an established pattern and it cannot be changed safely.
  • Dispose async resources safely.

Layering rules

  • Keep domain logic in OwnPlanner.Domain.
  • Keep application orchestration, use-cases, and DTO mapping in OwnPlanner.Application.
  • Keep database, filesystem, external API, and adapter concerns in OwnPlanner.Infrastructure.
  • Keep HTTP, authentication, and presentation concerns in OwnPlanner.Web.Server.
  • Do not move infrastructure concerns into domain or application layers.

Web server guidance

  • Follow existing ASP.NET Core patterns for controllers, services, and registration.
  • Preserve authentication and user-isolation behavior.
  • When modifying chat-related services, preserve session behavior, async disposal, and structured logs.
  • Prefer extending existing services instead of duplicating cross-cutting logic.

Change preferences

  • Favor small, readable changes over broad refactors.
  • Keep public APIs stable unless the task explicitly requires a contract change.
  • When editing existing files, match their formatting and local conventions.
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.
