Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

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

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

dc 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 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

GitHub Copilot — Project Instructions

This repo ships dc-py — a single-file Python client at py/dc.py that wraps the public DC Member API.

When suggesting code in this repo:

  • Stay stdlib-only — no requests, no httpx, no pydantic. The skill is intentionally zero-dependency.
  • The skill file is the canonical entry point. Do not split it into multiple modules.
  • Two-class pattern: DC is the public wrapper, _DCCore is the private helper with all HTTP and parsing logic. Keep new commands in this same shape.
  • Register CLI commands with @skill_command(name=, help=, parser=). Don't introduce new decorators or modes.
  • Space-form CLI flags (--limit 10, not --limit=10).
  • All list-returning commands return the envelope {items, count, cursor, has_more} — use the _wrap_list helper.
  • API base URL: https://api.dynamitecircle.com. Auth header: Authorization: Bearer dk_<api-key>.
  • Env config lives in py/.env.dc (skill-local).

For the user-facing setup instructions, see ../CLAUDE.md and ../py/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.
