Project-specific coding instructions for a C# and .NET 9 MCP server with a Nuxt 3 Vue web app. They define naming, formatting, testing, and commenting rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guiding edits to C# and Vue files, including test names, private fields, control-flow braces, function comments, and project structure.
Why use it?
They give a coding agent consistent rules to follow when changing the project.

This is CharlieDigital/runjs's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on runjs 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 runjs 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

runjs general-coding.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 2mo 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.

RunJS Project Overview

  • This application is building an MCP server in C# and .NET 9 (C# version 13)
  • You can use any C# features up to this version
  • The Docker Hub image name is cdigs/runjs-mcp-server; the username is cdigs and the repository is runjs-mcp-server

Naming Conventions

  • In .cs files, do not use this and prefer to use _ prefix for private fields

C# (*.cs) Coding Style

  • Prefer modern .NET conventions like primary constructors, collection initializers, var, record types, etc.
  • Always use braces { } for control structures (if, for, while, etc.); do not leave them out even for single line statements
  • When writing tests, use test function names like MethodName_StateUnderTest_ExpectedBehavior to clearly describe the test's purpose

Vue (*.vue) Coding Style

  • Use defineModel, defineProps, and defineEmits macros where applicable

Commenting

  • Add comments to explain logical decisions
  • Document all function inputs
  • Be descriptive with function comments
  • When mentioning types, class names, etc in comments, use markdown backticks like this or MyClass

Structure

  • The /app directory is a Nuxt 3 Vue web application which is using Quasar for the UI components
  • The /cli directory contains a sample client application built with TypeScript and the Vercel AI SDK
  • The /server directory contains the C# MCP server implementation
  • The /tests directory contains integration tests using XUnit

Key Files

Logging

This codebase is using Serilog for logging. To create a logger for a class, use the following pattern:

// If it is a static class
private static readonly ILogger Log = Serilog.Log.ForContext(typeof(SomeStaticClass));

// If it is an instance class
private static readonly ILogger Log = Serilog.Log.ForContext<SomeInstanceClass>();

When logging, use the following pattern:

Log.Here().Information("This is an informational message with a parameter: {Parameter}", parameterValue);
Log.Here().Warning("This is a warning message with a parameter: {Parameter}", parameterValue);
Log.Here().Error(ex, "An error occurred with parameter: {Parameter}", parameterValue);

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.
