.github/copilot-instructions.md

uzomuzo-oss copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from future-architect/uzomuzo-oss. It costs 724 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for a Go project, covering its architecture, coding standards, testing, security, Git workflow, and how its instruction files are organized.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when writing or reviewing Go code, designing domain layers, handling errors, testing, managing Git changes, or checking security issues.
Why use it?
They give coding agents consistent project rules and explain where different concerns belong before code is changed or reviewed.

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

uzomuzo-oss 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.

This project uses split instruction files for maintainability. See .github/instructions/ for detailed rules.

Instruction Files

File Scope
language-policy Source code English / docs English / response language
ddd-architecture DDD layer definitions, search-first, pre-implementation checklist
coding-standards Clean Code, naming, API design, goimports/golangci-lint
error-handling Error wrapping (%w), errors.Is/As, slog integration
testing-performance Table-driven tests, benchmarks, concurrency (how to write Go tests)
test-design Pre-PR lens: classical QA techniques, fuzz/PBT policy, DDD layer placement (what to test)
project-conventions Configuration policy, test data, JSON tooling constraints
git-workflow Commit messages, PR workflow, runtime verification, TDD
security Prompt injection defense, credentials, Go security
agent-orchestration Available agents, usage rules, parallel execution

Review Scope

When performing code review on pull requests, do not review or comment on Markdown files (*.md). Focus code review on Go source files, YAML workflows, and configuration files only.

Quick Reference

  • Language: Source code = English only. Docs = English (README.md, docs/*.md). Respond in the user's language.
  • DDD Layers: Interfaces → Application → Domain ← Infrastructure. Never violate.
  • Search First: Always search for existing implementations before writing new code.
  • Error Handling: Always wrap errors with fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err).
  • Formatting: All Go code MUST be formatted with goimports.
  • Configuration: Do NOT add new env vars / CLI flags casually. See project-conventions for checklist.
  • Security: No hardcoded secrets. No exec.Command("sh", "-c", userInput).
  • Testing: Table-driven tests, t.Run() sub-tests, test with -race flag.

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.
