.github/copilot-instructions.md

penpot-mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from ar27111994/penpot-mcp. It costs 964 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Repository guidance for the penpot-mcp agent skill, which connects coding agents with Penpot, a collaborative design tool. It explains how to organize the skill's documentation and workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Maintaining the penpot-mcp package, documenting Penpot API patterns, and organizing design-system or design-to-code workflows.
Why use it?
It keeps the skill's core instructions, reference material, public description, and release details consistent. This reduces confusion when maintaining or extending the repository.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is ar27111994/penpot-mcp's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on penpot-mcp 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 penpot-mcp 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 C, and why

penpot-mcp copilot-instructions.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Project Guidelines

Repository Purpose

  • This repository packages the penpot-mcp agent skill. Treat it as documentation and workflow content for AI agents, not as a JavaScript application runtime.
  • Keep penpot-mcp/SKILL.md as the concise always-loaded core. Put longer task recipes, API details, and examples in penpot-mcp/references/*.md.
  • Keep README.md, package.json, and penpot-mcp/SKILL.md aligned when changing the public description, supported workflows, tool list, install guidance, or release metadata.

Source Layout

  • penpot-mcp/SKILL.md: trigger description, setup guidance, safety workflow, common prompts, and critical gotchas.
  • penpot-mcp/references/penpot-api-patterns.md: authoritative Penpot plugin API patterns, JavaScript examples, and low-level gotchas.
  • penpot-mcp/references/design-system-workflows.md: design system creation, audit, migration, and component library workflows.
  • penpot-mcp/references/design-to-code-workflows.md: HTML/CSS, React, token extraction, asset export, and design-code sync workflows.
  • penpot-mcp/references/prototyping-workflows.md: flows, overlays, interactions, animations, and prototype audit workflows.

Authoring Style

  • Write for AI agents. Prefer direct, imperative, testable rules such as "Always", "Never", "Use when", and "Verify".
  • Keep instructions compact and scannable with headings, checklists, tables, and fenced examples. Move long explanations to reference files instead of expanding SKILL.md.
  • Preserve exact Penpot MCP tool names: high_level_overview, penpot_api_info, execute_code, export_shape, and import_image.
  • Use deterministic examples: stable names, explicit input/output formats, compact JSON schemas, and clear pause or approval points.
  • When changing a rule or gotcha, search nearby docs for duplicated guidance and update related mentions so the skill does not contradict itself.

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.
