ScienceClaw copilot.instructions.md

ScienceClaw copilot.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from beita6969/ScienceClaw. It costs 574 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for ScienceClaw, a TypeScript command-line application, describing its tools, code structure, and shared formatting utilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing CLI commands, formatting output, working with shared utilities, or running checks and tests.
Why use it?
It helps agents reuse existing code instead of creating duplicate helpers, formatters, or terminal components.

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

ScienceClaw copilot.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 4d 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.

OpenClaw Codebase Patterns

Always reuse existing code - no redundancy!

Tech Stack

  • Runtime: Node 22+ (Bun also supported for dev/scripts)
  • Language: TypeScript (ESM, strict mode)
  • Package Manager: pnpm (keep pnpm-lock.yaml in sync)
  • Lint/Format: Oxlint, Oxfmt (pnpm check)
  • Tests: Vitest with V8 coverage
  • CLI Framework: Commander + clack/prompts
  • Build: tsdown (outputs to dist/)

Anti-Redundancy Rules

  • Avoid files that just re-export from another file. Import directly from the original source.
  • If a function already exists, import it - do NOT create a duplicate in another file.
  • Before creating any formatter, utility, or helper, search for existing implementations first.

Source of Truth Locations

Formatting Utilities (src/infra/)

  • Time formatting: src\infra\format-time

NEVER create local formatAge, formatDuration, formatElapsedTime functions - import from centralized modules.

Terminal Output (src/terminal/)

  • Tables: src/terminal/table.ts (renderTable)
  • Themes/colors: src/terminal/theme.ts (theme.success, theme.muted, etc.)
  • Progress: src/cli/progress.ts (spinners, progress bars)

CLI Patterns

  • CLI option wiring: src/cli/
  • Commands: src/commands/
  • Dependency injection via createDefaultDeps

Import Conventions

  • Use .js extension for cross-package imports (ESM)
  • Direct imports only - no re-export wrapper files
  • Types: import type { X } for type-only imports

Code Quality

  • TypeScript (ESM), strict typing, avoid any
  • Keep files under ~700 LOC - extract helpers when larger
  • Colocated tests: *.test.ts next to source files
  • Run pnpm check before commits (lint + format)
  • Run pnpm tsgo for type checking

Stack & Commands

  • Package manager: pnpm (pnpm install)
  • Dev: pnpm openclaw ... or pnpm dev
  • Type-check: pnpm tsgo
  • Lint/format: pnpm check
  • Tests: pnpm test
  • Build: pnpm build

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.
