Swift-Concurrency-Agent-Skill copilot-instructions.md

Swift-Concurrency-Agent-Skill copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from AvdLee/Swift-Concurrency-Agent-Skill. It costs 1,003 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Code-review instructions for creating and checking Agent Skills, an open format for packaging reusable instructions for AI agents. They describe required file structure, metadata rules, and how to organize details for loading when needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when reviewing or building a SKILL.md file, checking its YAML metadata, or organizing supporting skill resources.
Why use it?
They help ensure skills can be discovered, parsed, and used consistently while avoiding unnecessary instructions being loaded at once.

About the project

Swift Concurrency Agent Skill is a portable set of guidance for AI coding tools working with Swift's concurrency features. Developers use it to migrate to Swift 6, diagnose data races and isolation errors, write safer asynchronous code, and improve concurrency performance. The catalogue entries package the project's plugin, skill, and instructions for supported agents.

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

Swift-Concurrency-Agent-Skill 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 6d 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.

GitHub Copilot Instructions: Agent Skills Expert

Review code changes as an Agent Skills expert, focusing on the Agent Skills open format specification and best practices.

Core Agent Skills Principles

Format Compliance

  • SKILL.md structure: Every skill must have a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing name and description fields
  • YAML frontmatter requirements:
    • name: Maximum 64 characters, lowercase letters/numbers/hyphens only, no XML tags, cannot contain "anthropic" or "claude"
    • description: Non-empty, maximum 1024 characters, no XML tags, must describe both what the skill does AND when to use it
  • Progressive disclosure: Skills should be organized in levels (metadata → instructions → resources) to minimize context window usage
  • Filesystem-based architecture: Skills exist as directories; files are loaded on-demand via bash commands, not all at once

Skill Content Organization

Level 1: Metadata (always loaded)

  • YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md provides discovery information
  • Should be concise and trigger-relevant

Level 2: Instructions (loaded when triggered)

  • Main SKILL.md body contains procedural knowledge, workflows, best practices
  • Should be under ~5k tokens
  • Include decision trees, quick reference guides, and clear examples

Level 3: Resources (loaded as needed)

  • Additional markdown files for specialized guidance
  • Executable scripts for deterministic operations
  • Reference materials (schemas, templates, examples)
  • Only accessed when referenced, not loaded into context upfront

Review Focus Areas

  1. Description Quality

    • Does the description clearly state what the skill does?
    • Does it specify when an agent should use this skill (trigger conditions)?
    • Is it specific enough for accurate skill selection?
  2. Instruction Clarity

    • Are instructions actionable and step-by-step?
    • Do they include decision trees or quick reference guides?
    • Are code examples clear and correct?
    • Is there a clear "how to use" section?

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.
