agentic-net-examples copilot-instructions.md

A set of instructions for validated C# examples that use Aspose.PDF for .NET, a library for creating and editing PDF files in Microsoft’s .NET platform. It defines coding, error-reporting, and resource-management rules for the examples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or modifying self-contained PDF examples, especially to follow the required types, page indexing, disposal, logging, and build conventions.
Why use it?
It helps agents produce examples that match the repository’s style and avoid common mistakes such as incorrect PDF page numbers or undisposed files.

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

agentic-net-examples 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 2d 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

Copilot Instructions

This repository is a curated collection of validated, build-tested C# examples for Aspose.PDF for .NET (26.7.0) targeting net10.0.

The canonical coding-agent guide is AGENTS.md at the repository root, and there is one per category folder. Read those first before suggesting changes.

When suggesting code in this repository

  • Match the style of the surrounding .cs files. They are self-contained dotnet new console examples, not a multi-file project.
  • Use fully-qualified Aspose.Pdf.* types (e.g. Aspose.Pdf.Drawing.Path) so System.IO.Path does not shadow them.
  • Wrap every IDisposable in a using block. Document in particular must be disposed deterministically.
  • Aspose.PDF uses 1-based page indexing (pdfDoc.Pages[1] is the first page). Off-by-one is the most common bug.
  • Write errors to Console.Error.WriteLine with the Error: prefix. Successful operations log to Console.WriteLine.

Do not

  • Edit AGENTS.md, index.json, or README.md by hand. They are regenerated by an external generator and your edits will be overwritten.
  • Add a .csproj per example. CI synthesises one at validation time; shipping one would conflict.
  • Suggest API calls that do not exist in Aspose.PDF package version 26.7.0. If you are not sure, check index.json for the apis_used field on neighbouring examples in the same category.

Where to look for context

  • AGENTS.md -- repository-wide conventions, anti-patterns, domain knowledge.
  • <category>/AGENTS.md -- category-specific tips and the file table.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md -- the human-oriented contribution rules.
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.
