Inspectra copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Fascinax/Inspectra. It costs 2,651 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for Inspectra, a code-audit system that checks software across multiple technical areas and produces findings and reports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running or extending Inspectra audits, using its MCP server and specialized agents, and configuring support for Claude Code or Codex.
Why use it?
It tells a coding assistant which audit architecture, tools, schemas, policies, and output formats the project expects.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; reads ~/.codex paths.

This is Fascinax/Inspectra's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on Inspectra 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 Inspectra 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

Inspectra 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.

Inspectra — Global Copilot Instructions

Project Overview

Inspectra is a hybrid code audit system. Three audit architectures are available:

  • Tier B (Hybrid): Default. Deterministic MCP tools across 12 domains + single-prompt synthesis + conditional hotspot explorer.
  • Map-Reduce (Multi-Agent): Orchestrator runs tools centrally, dispatches to 12 specialized domain agents in parallel, then performs cross-domain correlation. Use @audit-orchestrator.
  • Fusion (Maximum Recall): Combines Tier B + Map-Reduce in a single run, deduplicates cross-architecture findings. Use @audit-fusion.

Architecture

  • MCP Server (mcp/): TypeScript server exposing audit tools via Model Context Protocol.
  • Agents (.github/agents/): 14 agent definitions — orchestrator + fusion + 12 domain agents.
  • Schemas (schemas/): JSON Schema contracts for findings and reports.
  • Policies (policies/): Scoring rules, severity matrix, and stack-specific profiles.
  • Prompts (.github/prompts/): Reusable entry points for common audit workflows.
  • Claude Code support: CLAUDE.md + .mcp.json at repo root; inspectra setup --claude for target projects.
  • Codex support: AGENTS.md + .codex/config.toml; inspectra setup --codex for target projects.

Critical Rules

Output Format

All audit workflows and domain reports MUST return structured JSON following the schemas in schemas/. Never return free-form text as the primary output. The merge/report stage is the only place that produces the final Markdown report.

Finding Contract

Every finding MUST include:

  • id: Pattern DOMAIN_PREFIX-XXX (e.g., SEC-001, TST-042)
  • severity: One of critical, high, medium, low, info
  • domain: The audit domain that produced it
  • rule: Machine-readable rule identifier
  • confidence: Float between 0.0 and 1.0
  • source: One of tool (MCP tool detection) or llm (LLM code exploration)
  • evidence: At least one file path

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.
