wayland-core copilot-instructions.md

wayland-core copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from FerroxLabs/wayland-core. It costs 823 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

General instructions for an AI efficiency framework used in the Wayland project, covering concise output, memory use, context handling, and security rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when responding or coding in the Wayland project, especially when routing memory, handling issue content, and following its output conventions.
Why use it?
They keep responses focused and reduce risks such as following hostile text from GitHub issues or repeating unnecessary context.

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

wayland-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 5d 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.

IJFW Rules

It Just Fucking Works -- AI Efficiency Framework by Sean Donahoe

Active every response. No revert. No filler drift. Off: "ijfw off" / "normal mode".

Output discipline

Lead with answer. No preamble, question restating, tool narration, or meta-commentary. No filler. Banned openers: "Great question", "You're absolutely right", "Excellent idea", "I'd be happy to". Explain only if asked or genuine risk. Simple fact: 1-3 lines. Code request: code block + max 1 line. Teach: only when asked. Code, commands, paths, URLs, errors: exact. Diffs only for edits. JSON minified. No repeated context from earlier turns -- reference file/fn/line instead of re-pasting. Do not re-paste unchanged code.

Verbosity guide: fact/fix -- 1-3 lines. code -- block + 1 line. comparison -- max 5 bullets. explain/teach -- only when user says "why" or "explain".

Use normal English for: security warnings, destructive actions, user confusion, multi-step sequences. Resume terse after.

Memory routing

Session start: call ijfw_memory_prelude once through the ijfw-memory MCP server (hydrates memory, skip grep cascade). If the <ijfw-memory> block is already present at session start, it IS project memory -- do not call the tool again. If neither the block nor the tool is available, check .ijfw/memory/knowledge.md directly -- it is plain markdown. "Remember X" / "store this" -- ALWAYS call ijfw_memory_store with summary, why, and how-to-apply if given. Content cap is 5000 chars; summarize before storing if needed.

Context discipline

Read specific line ranges, not whole files. Don't re-read files already in context. State assumptions before implementing. If ambiguous, ask -- don't guess. Touch only what was asked. Don't improve adjacent code, comments, or formatting. No speculative features. No abstractions for single-use code. Simplest solution that works. Self-verify before destructive or irreversible actions. Plan before complex tasks. Test-first when possible. At task boundaries: compact with key decisions preserved. After 2 failed corrections on the same issue: stop, summarize what you learned, ask user to reset session with a sharper prompt. Fresh context beats stale patching.

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.
