gpt-rag-ingestion: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/jobs-indexing.instructions.md

gpt-rag-ingestion jobs-indexing.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Azure/gpt-rag-ingestion. It costs 261 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Implementation rules for background jobs that process documents and update Azure AI Search. They cover job state, retries, cancellation, limits, search results, document relationships, security metadata, and audit records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing ingestion, deletion, retry, purge, reindexing, search-upload, or audit behavior.
Why use it?
They help prevent duplicate work, misleading success reports, excessive resource use, broken document links, and accidental exposure of protected data.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot ✓ vendor

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is Azure/gpt-rag-ingestion's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on gpt-rag-ingestion 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 gpt-rag-ingestion configures →

About the project

GPT-RAG Data Ingestion is a service that processes documents such as PDFs, images, spreadsheets, transcripts, and SharePoint files so they can be searched through Azure AI Search. It prepares data with format-specific chunking and text or image embeddings for multimodal retrieval in agent-based applications.

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

gpt-rag-ingestion jobs-indexing.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 12d 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

These files implement runtime workers. They are not GitHub Copilot engineering agents.

  • Preserve job mutual exclusion, run IDs, terminal states, cancellation, summaries, retries, and per-file failure visibility.
  • Bound source downloads, memory, concurrency, Search batch size, scans, and retries. Do not create unbounded gather or collection behavior.
  • Treat Azure AI Search batch responses as authoritative per-document outcomes. Do not report a submitted upload or delete as confirmed success.
  • Preserve stable document keys, parent/child relationships, index field types, metadata, ACL fields, and deletion semantics.
  • Reserved security metadata must not leak into custom_metadata.
  • Keep elevated-read headers limited to service-side operations that require them; never expose that capability through user input.
  • A retry, purge, or reindex path must be idempotent or document its duplicate and recovery behavior.
  • Audit events must remain correlated and bounded. Audit export is best-effort; indexing and deletion are not.
  • Add focused tests and, when possible, verify terminal job state plus actual Search documents in a controlled environment.
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.
