.github/copilot-instructions.md

paqad-ai copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Eliyce/paqad-ai. It costs 139 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository entrypoint file for GitHub Copilot that tells the coding agent how to load the paqad framework before working on code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps Copilot locate the paqad installation, load its bootstrap instructions, and select the appropriate working behavior.
Why use it?
It ensures Copilot follows the project’s paqad behavior when available, while providing a normal-assistant fallback if the framework cannot be used.

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

paqad-ai 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 8d 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 Instructions

Use this file as the repository entrypoint for GitHub Copilot.

Before any repository work, open .paqad/framework-path.txt, resolve the reference inside it to the paqad install directory, and load and follow the framework bootstrap it points to (AGENT-BOOTSTRAP.md in that directory). That bootstrap decides — based on whether paqad is enabled — what to load and how to behave.

Fallback: if .paqad/framework-path.txt is missing or cannot be resolved, or paqad is disabled, proceed as a normal assistant with no paqad behavior. Do not block.

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.
