presets.dev: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

release/fastapi/native/copilot/.github/instructions/fastapi.instructions.md

presets.dev fastapi.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 798 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of coding instructions for FastAPI projects. FastAPI is a Python framework for web APIs, and these instructions cover request and response models, dependencies, authentication, databases, and asynchronous code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing FastAPI routes, Pydantic models, dependencies, authentication, database sessions, settings, or asynchronous handlers.
Why use it?
It helps an AI coding assistant validate API data, avoid exposing internal fields, keep routes small, and manage application resources safely.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is beel-collab/presets.dev's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on presets.dev 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 presets.dev 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 A, and why

presets.dev fastapi.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 today.

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.

FastAPI Copilot Instructions: Pydantic Models, Dependencies and Async

Path-specific Copilot instructions for FastAPI. They apply through applyTo and leave .github/copilot-instructions.md in place.

Updated for FastAPI 0.162.5, Nov 2026

Do not upgrade dependencies or the framework version unless the task asks.

Project shape

Routers are split by resource. A route function is thin: it takes dependencies, calls a function that does the work, and returns a response model. Settings, the lifespan, and the database session live where the app already creates them. Do not build a new global client at import time.

Models

Every request body and every response has a Pydantic model. The response model is a subset. A field the client must not see, such as a password hash or an internal flag, is not on the response model. Do not response_model_exclude as the only protection if you can omit the field.

Validate constraints on the model: length, bounds, and enums. Do not re-check them with a pile of if statements that drift from the schema. Extra fields are ignored or rejected the way the project already configured. Do not pass dict(body) into an ORM create. Copy the fields you intend to write.

Dependencies and auth

Auth is a dependency that returns the current user or raises. A route that writes declares that dependency. Do not trust a user id in the path or body. Load the row and check the owner.

Database sessions are yielded from a dependency and closed in finally. A long-lived session stored on app.state without a scope is a bug. Lifespan replaces the old startup event in new code. Do not add @app.on_event("startup") beside a lifespan.

Async

An async def route does not call a blocking database driver, time.sleep, or requests. Use the async driver, or move the blocking call the way the project already does. Do not define a route as def and async def inconsistently for the same style of I/O.

Errors, security, and tests

Raise HTTPException with a status and a short detail. A 500 path logs the exception and returns a generic message. Do not include a SQL string or a secret in detail.

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.
