Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Gemini CLI.

This is event4u-app/agent-config's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on agent-config 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 agent-config 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

agent-config 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 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.

Copilot Repository Instructions — event4u/agent-config

This repository is the event4u/agent-config package: shared agent configuration (skills, rules, commands, guidelines, templates) for AI coding tools. It is a distribution package, not an application of any framework (Laravel, Symfony, Next.js, etc.).

For Copilot Chat users: Rich context lives in .augment/ (rules, skills, guidelines) and AGENTS.md at the repo root. Ask Copilot Chat to read those files. The instructions below are self-contained for Copilot Code Review, which cannot follow links.

✅ What this repo contains

  • Bash scripts under src/scripts/install.sh and src/scripts/condense.sh.
  • Python 3.10+ tooling under scripts/ — condensation driver, linters (skills, references, portability, readme), installer bridge.
  • Markdown content under .agent-src.uncondensed/ (authoring layer) and .augment/ (generated output). Edit the former, never the latter.
  • pytest test suite under tests/.

No application source code — no framework app code (Laravel, Symfony, Next.js, Express, etc.), no JavaScript runtime deps. If you see framework-specific suggestions in a PR touching this repo, they are wrong.

✅ Scope Control

  • Do not introduce architectural changes unless explicitly requested.
  • Do not replace existing patterns with alternatives.
  • Do not suggest new libraries unless explicitly requested.
  • Stay within the established structure.

✅ Portability rules for this package

  • Never reference a specific consumer project (project names, domains, internal tools, customers) in .augment/, .agent-src.uncondensed/, root AGENTS.md, or .github/copilot-instructions.md. Everything here must work in any consumer project.
  • Project-specific behavior belongs in a consumer's own .agent-settings.yml, AGENTS.md, or agents/ directory — not in this package.
  • The portability checker (src/scripts/check_portability.py) enforces this in CI.

✅ Editing .augment/ — source-of-truth rule

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.
