LLM-TradeBot: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/governance.instructions.md

LLM-TradeBot governance.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from EthanAlgoX/LLM-TradeBot. It costs 423 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of repository-governance instructions for a multi-agent AI trading system. It defines which project documents are authoritative and how code changes, reviews, releases, and deployments should be handled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Keeping agent instructions synchronized, refreshing the Git baseline before reviews, documenting release and deployment paths, and maintaining repository guidance.
Why use it?
It reduces drift between instructions, file paths, workflows, and the actual repository. It also makes affected pipelines and rollback paths explicit before changes are made.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

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

This is EthanAlgoX/LLM-TradeBot's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on LLM-TradeBot 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 LLM-TradeBot configures →

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

LLM-TradeBot governance.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

Governance Instructions

  • Keep commands, file paths, workflow names, config keys, release paths, and directory references aligned with the executable repository state.
  • AGENTS.md is the canonical AI collaboration document; if its meaning changes, sync CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/instructions/*.instructions.md, and repository skills as needed.
  • Root SKILL.md and docs/openclaw-skill-integration.md describe product or external integration behavior, not repository governance.
  • Explain which pipeline, release path, deployment path, review automation, or governance asset is affected and what the rollback path is.
  • Before creating/updating PRs, PR review, or issue analysis, refresh the latest code baseline with git fetch --all --prune; only run git pull --ff-only when the worktree is clean and the current branch can fast-forward. If not, keep local state intact and record the fetched remote baseline or branch gap before proceeding.
  • Keep README.md limited to homepage-level content such as positioning, high-level capabilities, quick start, main entrypoints, and sponsorship/cooperation; put detailed behavior, configuration, troubleshooting, field contracts, and edge cases in docs/*.md.
  • Avoid widening permissions, secret exposure, or destructive automation without a clearly documented need.
  • Preserve the repository's opt-in auto-tag behavior (#patch, #minor, #major) unless the change explicitly updates release policy.
  • When creating, reviewing, or suggesting PRs, prefer PR titles in <type>: <change summary> form and omit tool/agent source prefixes such as [codex], codex, autocode, or copilot; treat this as non-blocking guidance, not a review hard blocker.
  • If only one language version of a document is updated, explain why the counterpart was not synchronized.
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.
