faramesh-core: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

faramesh-core copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from faramesh/faramesh-core. It costs 210 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for Faramesh Core, defining the required order for building and validating its agent-runtime features. They prioritize runtime safety and identity or credential handling before user experience and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when planning or implementing Faramesh Core changes, especially interception, policy loading, approval steps, deferred work, identity checks, credentials, onboarding, and final validation.
Why use it?
They prevent work from focusing on reports or convenience features while essential safety and execution paths are still incomplete.

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

faramesh-core 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.

What it actually says

Faramesh Core Copilot Instructions

Execution Order (Hard Requirement)

Never default to the fastest, easiest, or lowest-effort task order.

Always execute work in structural usability order for real users and agent runtimes:

  1. Interception path correctness
  2. Patching/autoload correctness
  3. Action governance runtime behavior
  4. HITL/defer runtime behavior
  5. Policy/FPL compilation and load path correctness
  6. Identity fail-closed behavior
  7. Credential sequestration fail-closed behavior
  8. Onboarding/reporting UX
  9. Tests, CI wiring, and E2E acceptance gates (last)

Prioritization Rule

If a lower-layer runtime capability is incomplete, do not move to convenience, reporting, or process layers.

Do not prioritize work because it is quicker to implement. Prioritize work that makes Faramesh operational and safe in production runtime flows.

Validation Timing

Testing and CI are required, but only after the runtime-critical path above is built and wired end-to-end.

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.
