eai-gofer language-server.instructions.md

Development guidance for a Go-based language server, which helps editors provide code features and lets AI assistants interact with the project through defined tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing the server, adding MCP tools, implementing editor features such as completion and hover, or running its Playwright tests.
Why use it?
It keeps the server's editor and AI-assistant connections organized, and explains where to change tools, load specifications, and handle requests.

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

eai-gofer language-server.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 2d 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

Language Server Development Instructions

You are working on the Gofer Language Server.

Architecture

The Language Server provides dual protocol support:

  1. LSP (Language Server Protocol) - Communication with VSCode extension
  2. MCP (Model Context Protocol) - Communication with AI assistants

Key Files

  • Server Entry: language-server/src/server.ts
  • MCP Tools: language-server/src/mcp/toolHandler.ts
  • Spec Loader: language-server/src/utils/goferLoader.ts

MCP Tools (6 Total)

Tool Purpose
gofer_get_specs List all specs and tasks
gofer_get_next_task Get next task based on dependencies
gofer_execute_task Mark task in-progress, get context
gofer_update_task_status Mark task completed/failed
gofer_validate_code Check against constitution
gofer_run_tests Execute Playwright tests

Adding New MCP Tools

  1. Define tool in server.ts tool capabilities
  2. Implement handler in mcp/toolHandler.ts
  3. Register in MCP tool list
  4. Test via Claude Code or Copilot

LSP Capabilities

  • textDocument/completion - Spec suggestions
  • textDocument/hover - Spec details
  • Custom methods for spec operations

Dependencies

  • vscode-languageserver 9.0.1
  • Static validation service (no direct model SDK/API key dependency)
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.
