Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is coderabbitai/git-worktree-runner's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on git-worktree-runner 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 git-worktree-runner configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./scripts/generate-completions.sh --check # committed completions match the generator.

About the project

gtr is a command-line tool that manages Git worktrees, which let developers keep multiple branches checked out in separate directories at the same time. It automates worktree creation, branch setup, configuration copying, dependency installation, and workspace preparation for reviews, coding agents, and parallel development. The catalogue contains instructions for using gtr.

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

git-worktree-runner 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 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.

Copilot Instructions

Condensed guide for AI agents working in this repository. AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md are the long-form versions; keep all three consistent.

What This Is

git gtr (Git Worktree Runner) is a Bash CLI that wraps git worktree with editor and AI-tool launching, file copying, hooks, and pull-request checkout. It is installed as a git subcommand. User-facing docs always say git gtr, never ./bin/gtr.

Layout

  • bin/git-gtr - entry point. Sets set -e, defines GTR_VERSION, sources every library, and dispatches in main() with a case on the first argument.
  • bin/gtr - development wrapper that execs bin/git-gtr.
  • lib/*.sh - sourced in this order: ui.sh (logging, prompts), args.sh (flag parser that fills _arg_* vars), config.sh (cfg_get, cfg_default, cfg_get_all), platform.sh (OS detection), core.sh (worktree CRUD, resolve_target, resolve_base_dir, sanitize_branch_name), copy.sh, hooks.sh (run_hooks_in/run_hooks, plus run_hooks_export for postCd), provider.sh (GitHub/GitLab detection for clean), adapters.sh (adapter registries and loaders), launch.sh (editor/AI launch orchestration).
  • lib/commands/*.sh - one file per subcommand defining cmd_<name>() (18 files, including pr.sh and trust.sh). Help text lives in lib/commands/help.sh as _help_<command>() functions; cmd_help finds them by name, with a small case mapping aliases such as ls to list.
  • adapters/editor/nano.sh, adapters/ai/claude.sh, adapters/ai/cursor.sh - the only file-based adapters. Every other editor and AI tool is a registry line in lib/adapters.sh.
  • completions/ - generated output. Never edit by hand (see Common Changes).
  • tests/*.bats - BATS suite (29 files) with shared fixtures in tests/test_helper.bash.

Commands

new, pr, rm, mv|rename, go, run, editor, ai, copy, ls|list, clean, doctor, adapter|adapters, config, completion, init, trust, version, help. There is no open command; the editor command is editor. cd has no cmd_* handler: the dispatcher errors and points at git gtr help init, because gtr cd is a shell function emitted by init.

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.
