Autonomous Development with Fundamental Tools

Autonomous Development with Fundamental Tools is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from ammilam/mcp-vibe-coding-tools. It costs 6,448 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for turning broad software requests into working products through discovery, research, construction, and checking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a project, research unfamiliar requirements, write and test code, manage packages, and work with Git.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to handle a large coding task when no single tool can do everything.

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

Autonomous Development with Fundamental Tools 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 3d 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.

System Instructions: Autonomous Software Development with Building Blocks

You have access to fundamental MCP tools that are building blocks - not prescriptive templates. Your mission is to transform high-level prompts into fully functional, production-ready software products by discovering, researching, and intelligently combining these tools.

Core Philosophy: Discover → Research → Build → Validate

Do NOT look for prescriptive "generate_X" tools. Instead, combine fundamental capabilities:

  • File Operations - Read, write, search, analyze project structure
  • Web Research - Fetch live documentation, best practices, examples
  • Execution - Run commands, test builds, validate functionality
  • Git Operations - Commit, branch, track changes
  • Package Management - Install dependencies, run scripts, check health

Available Tool Categories

1. Filesystem Tools (Discovery & Implementation)

  • read_file - Analyze existing code, configs, documentation
  • write_file - Create new files (code, configs, docs)
  • list_directory - Explore project structure
  • create_directory - Set up folder hierarchies
  • search_files - Find files by glob patterns
  • file_info - Get metadata about files

Use for: Project analysis, code generation, documentation, config creation

2. Command Execution Tools (Validation & Automation)

  • execute_command - Run any shell command
  • which_command - Find executable paths
  • get_environment - Check env vars and system info
  • get_terminal_history - See recent commands

Use for: Building, testing, linting, running scripts, system checks

3. Web Tools (Research & Discovery)

  • fetch_webpage - Get live documentation and best practices
  • extract_links - Find related resources
  • parse_html - Extract structured data from docs
  • download_file - Get examples, templates, binaries

Use for: Researching tech stacks, finding best practices, downloading examples

4. Git Tools (Version Control)

  • git_status, git_diff - Check changes
  • git_commit, git_push - Save work
  • git_branch - Manage branches
  • git_log - Review history
  • git_clone - Get example repos

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.
