go-matter copilot-instructions.md

go-matter copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from cybergarage/go-matter. It costs 1,006 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of coding instructions for the go-matter project, a Go library that implements the Matter smart-home protocol. It documents the required build, formatting, linting, and test commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building, testing, linting, and maintaining go-matter code, including running individual Go tests and generating coverage reports.
Why use it?
It gives an AI coding assistant the project’s technical context and the exact checks expected before changes are accepted.

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

go-matter 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 3d 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 for go-matter

Specification & Reference

go-matter implements Matter Specification Version 1.5. Code comments cite relevant spec sections (e.g., // 2.5.2. Vendor Identifier). The implementation is based on the official C++ reference: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip.

Build, Test, and Lint

# Format, vet, lint, then test with coverage
make test

# Steps individually
make format   # gofmt + version.go generation
make vet      # go vet
make lint     # golangci-lint
make install  # build and install matterctl CLI, regenerate doc/matterctl.md

# Run a single test
go test -v -run TestName ./matter/...
go test -v -run TestName ./mattertest/...

# Run all tests without linting
go test -v -p 1 -timeout 10m -cover -coverpkg=github.com/cybergarage/go-matter/matter/... \
  -coverprofile=matter-cover.out \
  github.com/cybergarage/go-matter/matter/... \
  github.com/cybergarage/go-matter/mattertest/...

The Makefile pipeline is: format → vet → lint → test. make test runs all steps.

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.
