AGENTS.md

copilot-api AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ericc-ch/copilot-api. It costs 441 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for copilot-api, a TypeScript project using Bun, a JavaScript runtime and test tool. They describe its build, development, linting, testing, module, typing, and naming conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building, running, linting, testing, or editing the project's TypeScript source and test files.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the commands and project rules needed to make changes that fit the existing codebase. They also reduce avoidable errors such as unused imports, loose types, and incorrect module syntax.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is ericc-ch/copilot-api's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on copilot-api 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 copilot-api configures →

About the project

Copilot API Proxy is a reverse-engineered server that makes GitHub Copilot available through the OpenAI Chat Completions and Anthropic Messages API formats. It lets compatible tools, including Claude Code, use Copilot as their backend. The catalogue instruction helps configure or use this proxy with coding agents.

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

copilot-api AGENTS.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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md

Build, Lint, and Test Commands

  • Build:
    bun run build (uses tsup)
  • Dev:
    bun run dev
  • Lint:
    bun run lint (uses @echristian/eslint-config)
  • Lint & Fix staged files:
    bunx lint-staged
  • Test all:
    bun test
  • Test single file:
    bun test tests/claude-request.test.ts
  • Start (prod):
    bun run start

Code Style Guidelines

  • Imports:
    Use ESNext syntax. Prefer absolute imports via ~/* for src/* (see tsconfig.json).
  • Formatting:
    Follows Prettier (with prettier-plugin-packagejson). Run bun run lint to auto-fix.
  • Types:
    Strict TypeScript (strict: true). Avoid any; use explicit types and interfaces.
  • Naming:
    Use camelCase for variables/functions, PascalCase for types/classes.
  • Error Handling:
    Use explicit error classes (see src/lib/error.ts). Avoid silent failures.
  • Unused:
    Unused imports/variables are errors (noUnusedLocals, noUnusedParameters).
  • Switches:
    No fallthrough in switch statements.
  • Modules:
    Use ESNext modules, no CommonJS.
  • Testing:
    Use Bun's built-in test runner. Place tests in tests/, name as *.test.ts.
  • Linting:
    Uses @echristian/eslint-config (see npm for details). Includes stylistic, unused imports, regex, and package.json rules.
  • Paths:
    Use path aliases (~/*) for imports from src/.

This file is tailored for agentic coding agents. For more details, see the configs in eslint.config.js and tsconfig.json. No Cursor or Copilot rules detected.

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.
