WebSearcher: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

WebSearcher copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from gitronald/WebSearcher. It costs 1,430 tokens per session, scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A repository guide for an AI coding assistant working on the WebSearcher project. It explains the project's tools, commands, design rules, and HTML-parsing code layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asking an assistant to modify, debug, or extend WebSearcher, especially its selectolax-based HTML parser.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant project-specific rules instead of leaving it to guess how the codebase works. This helps changes follow the existing structure and commands.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

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

WebSearcher 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 2d 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 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.
