aptu-coder copilot-instructions.md

A set of repository instructions for using GitHub Copilot to handle issues and pull requests in the aptu-coder project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Assigning issues to Copilot, giving feedback on pull requests, reviewing Copilot-generated code, and checking project-specific constraints.
Why use it?
It gives reviewers and agents shared rules for checking changes, dependencies, error handling, and release steps.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

aptu-coder 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 yesterday.

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

Copilot Instructions

Assigning issues to Copilot

REST API method:

gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number} --method PATCH -f "assignees[]=copilot-swe-agent[bot]"

UI method: use the issue sidebar to assign to copilot-swe-agent[bot].

PR iteration

  • Comment @copilot with specific feedback; agent pushes follow-up commits
  • If unresolved after 2 iterations: close PR, amend issue, re-assign

Copilot code review

Flag:

  • Hallucinated APIs; verify against Cargo.lock and cargo doc --open
  • Scope creep beyond the issue deliverables
  • Missing error handling
  • rmcp, tree-sitter, schemars version assumptions; verify against installed versions
  • Missing cargo deny check advisories licenses run when Cargo.toml changes
  • New dependency added without justification in the PR description
  • working_dir outside the server CWD boundary accepted without error (must be rejected with INVALID_PARAMS)
  • Profile-based tool routing (APTU_CODER_PROFILE / io.clouatre-labs/profile) bypassed or ignored in tools/list
  • gh release create used instead of git tag -s vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z"
  • Tool descriptions or server instructions reference host-specific clients (e.g. "Claude Code", "Cursor")
  • Commit missing GPG signature or DCO sign-off (-S --signoff)

Design references

  • ARCHITECTURE.md - design, language handlers, "How to add a language"
  • AGENTS.md - project conventions and implementation status

Firewall

  • Copilot runs in a firewalled GitHub Actions environment; no arbitrary URLs
  • If a build step needs a URL not in the allow list, document it in the PR
  • Maintainer updates .github/copilot/firewall.yml
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.
