presets.dev: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

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

presets.dev kotlin.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 733 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of coding instructions for Kotlin projects, including Android applications and Compose user interfaces. Kotlin is a programming language, while Compose is a toolkit for describing app screens in code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Kotlin source, Android screens, Compose components, coroutines, state holders, multiplatform targets, or error handling.
Why use it?
It helps an AI coding assistant follow the project's Kotlin and Android structure and avoid unsafe coroutine lifetimes, null handling, and misplaced network work.

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 kotlin.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.

Kotlin Copilot Instructions: Coroutines, Null Safety and Compose

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

Updated for Kotlin 2.4, Nov 2026

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

Stay on the Kotlin version the Gradle build uses. Kotlin 2.4.20 adds StackTraceRecoverable for coroutine stack traces. That API is experimental and requires @OptIn(ExperimentalStdlibCoroutineSupportApi::class). It is not on by default. Swift export is the other 2.4.20 change. Use either only when the compiler is already on 2.4. A multiplatform target is added only when the project is already multiplatform.

Project shape

Match the source sets. Android UI uses the Compose compiler the project already applies. A ViewModel or the project's presenter owns screen state. A composable displays state and sends events up. Do not fetch the network directly inside a composable.

Coroutines

Launch in a scope that is canceled with the owner: viewModelScope, lifecycleScope, or a scope the class cancels in close. GlobalScope is a bug. runBlocking does not belong inside a suspend function or on the main thread.

A coroutine checks cancellation. Do not catch Exception and ignore CancellationException. Rethrow it. A Flow is collected in repeatOnLifecycle or the project's equivalent so it stops when the screen stops. A hot flow shared with shareIn has a stopping policy.

Null and errors

Prefer ?. and a real branch over !!. !! is a crash you chose. A public function returns a sealed result or throws the project's exception. Do not return null for three different failures.

Compose and Android

State that changes the UI is mutableStateOf or a StateFlow collected as state. Remember a callback that closes over a changing value, or pass the event up. Keys on a lazy list are stable ids.

A permission, a camera, or a location request follows the Activity result API the project uses. Do not call a deprecated start-activity-for-result snippet. Main-thread work stays tiny. Database and network use the dispatcher the app already injects.

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.
