presets.dev: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

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

presets.dev nestjs.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 716 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

NestJS development instructions are rules for building server applications with NestJS, a TypeScript framework organised into modules, controllers, services, and repositories. They cover request data, validation, access checks, errors, and transactions.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide agents when adding modules, controllers, services, data repositories, request objects, validation pipes, access guards, and error responses.
Why use it?
They help prevent unvalidated input, controllers that contain too much business logic, accidental access to private module code, and incorrect request checks.

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 nestjs.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.

NestJS Copilot Instructions: Modules, DTOs and Guards

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

Updated for NestJS 12.4.2, Nov 2026

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

Project shape

A feature is a module that declares its controllers and providers and exports only what other modules may use. Do not reach into another module's private provider. A new provider is listed in providers. A global module is rare and already a project decision.

Controllers take DTOs. Services own the use case and the transaction. Repositories talk to the database. Do not query from the controller.

DTOs and validation

Nest 12 validates in two supported ways. A class DTO with class-validator decorators needs ValidationPipe. A Standard Schema (Zod, Valibot, ArkType) passed as @Body({ schema }) needs StandardSchemaValidationPipe. The decorator only stores the schema. Without that pipe, nothing is checked. A TypeScript interface disappears at runtime and does not validate. Do not flag @Body({ schema }) when the pipe is registered. Do not use an interface as the @Body() type and call it safe.

The validation pipe rejects unknown fields when the project has whitelist and forbidNonWhitelisted. Keep that on. A write copies the DTO fields the entity is allowed to store. Do not spread the DTO into a save if the DTO contains a role or an owner id the client must not set.

Guards and errors

A route that changes data has a guard. Class-level @UseGuards is easy to forget on a new method. Public routes are marked with the project's public decorator and are rare. Check the owner inside the service even after the guard, when the guard only checks that someone is signed in.

Throw the project's HTTP exception. A filter formats the body. Do not catch and return the ORM error to the client.

Tests

A unit test builds the service with mocks for its collaborators. An e2e test boots the module the project already boots and calls the route without a token. Cover 401, a bad DTO, and a successful owner. Run the test script. Record the output.

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.
