azure-functions-skills cli.instructions.md

azure-functions-skills cli.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Azure/azure-functions-skills. It costs 302 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for developing a command-line interface, a program operated by typing commands in a terminal. It focuses on understandable commands, actionable errors, concise output, compilation, tests, and end-to-end checks of real commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the Azure Functions Skills CLI, including its commands, output, error handling, compilation, tests, or end-to-end verification.
Why use it?
It helps ensure the CLI is understandable and that changes work in realistic isolated environments, not only in unit tests.

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

azure-functions-skills cli.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 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.

What it actually says

CLI Development Rules

Usability First

  • The CLI is designed with usability as the top priority.
  • Commands must be intuitive — users should never feel lost or confused.
  • Error messages must be specific and actionable: tell the user what went wrong and what to do next.
  • Provide helpful defaults so common workflows require minimal flags.

Output

  • Keep output concise and scannable.
  • Use color and formatting consistently (success = green, error = red, warning = yellow).
  • Progress indicators for long-running operations.
  • Respect --quiet and --json flags where applicable.

After Changes

  • Always compile: npm run compile
  • Run unit tests: npm test
  • E2E verification is mandatory: test the actual CLI command in an isolated workspace.
    node bin/azure-functions-skills.js <cmd> --dir <isolated-workspace>
    
  • Never run setup or chat from the repo root — it pollutes the working tree.

Architecture

  • CLI entry point: bin/azure-functions-skills.js
  • Domain modules: src/doctor/, src/setup/, src/build/
  • Keep option parsing in bin/; keep business logic in src/.
  • Separate concerns — do not mix I/O, validation, and domain logic in one function.

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.
