It gives developers consistent rules for writing and reviewing Rust code, including safer error handling and project-specific conventions.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is bug-ops/zeph's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on zeph 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 zeph 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

zeph rust.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 1mo 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

Rust File Review

Lints

  • Workspace Clippy lints clippy::all + clippy::pedantic are configured as warnings in Cargo.toml
  • Review policy: prefer #![forbid(unsafe_code)] in crates and reject new unsafe blocks unless strictly justified and well-documented
  • Review policy: avoid unwrap() and expect() in non-test code; require explicit error handling instead

Async Patterns

  • Use native async trait methods (Edition 2024)
  • Use Pin<Box<dyn Future<...> + Send + '_>> only when trait object safety requires it
  • Runtime: tokio with #[tokio::main] entry point

Type Conventions

  • Type aliases for complex pinned types: type ChatStream = Pin<Box<dyn Stream<...> + Send>>
  • Re-export public API at crate root via pub use in lib.rs
  • Serde: #[serde(tag = "kind")] for enums with data, #[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")] for A2A types

Test Code

  • Unit tests in inline #[cfg(test)] mod tests at module end
  • Mock types (MockProvider, MockChannel) inside #[cfg(test)] blocks implementing the real trait
  • Use tempfile for filesystem fixtures, testcontainers for Qdrant
  • Tests sharing state require #[serial] attribute
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.
