.github/instructions/openclaw-universal.instructions.md

copilot-governance openclaw-universal.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from chf3198/copilot-governance. It costs 169 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions that make a machine-wide OpenClaw system the baseline for a project. They add project-specific rules on top of shared guidance for routing work, checkpoints, monitoring, and gateway availability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them in a project governed by chf3198/copilot-governance when the agent should load the shared OpenClaw instructions and availability guidance.
Why use it?
They reduce duplicated policy and help the repository follow the same operating rules as other projects using the shared OpenClaw setup.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: built for openclaw.

This is chf3198/copilot-governance's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on copilot-governance 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 copilot-governance configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/curtisfranks/.copilot/openclaw/OPENCLAW_UNIVERSAL_SYSTEM.md.

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

copilot-governance openclaw-universal.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.

What it actually says

Use the machine-global OpenClaw system as the baseline for this repository.

  1. Load openclaw-universal-system for reusable routing, checkpoint, and observability guidance.
  2. Load openclaw-availability-utilization for gateway health and utilization policy.
  3. Keep repository-specific rules additive; do not duplicate the global OpenClaw policy unless a local exception is required.
  4. Canonical global policy: /home/curtisfranks/.copilot/openclaw/OPENCLAW_UNIVERSAL_SYSTEM.md
  5. Canonical global skill: /home/curtisfranks/.copilot/skills/openclaw-universal-system/SKILL.md
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.
