code-copilot-team: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

adapters/github-copilot/.github/instructions/memkernel-memory.instructions.md

code-copilot-team memkernel-memory.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from gosha70/code-copilot-team. It costs 313 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using MemKernel, a project memory system that keeps decisions, conventions, code details, and session checkpoints between agent sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps agents recall prior decisions, save important interfaces and conventions, and record what was completed and what comes next.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated work and guesswork after a new session or a context reset by recovering earlier project knowledge.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is gosha70/code-copilot-team's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on code-copilot-team 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 code-copilot-team 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

code-copilot-team memkernel-memory.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 3d 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

MemKernel Memory

Use this rule only when the memkernel MCP server is configured for the project.

Purpose

MemKernel gives the project persistent memory across sessions and compaction events. Use it to retain decisions, conventions, important code context, and structured session checkpoints.

When To Recall

  • At the start of a new session, call recall for the current task or topic.
  • After compaction, recover the latest checkpoint first, then broaden recall.
  • Before repeating earlier work, recall prior decisions instead of guessing.

What To Retain

  • decision: architecture choices, tradeoffs, dependency decisions
  • convention: naming rules, style decisions, workflow expectations
  • code: important interfaces, schemas, contracts, or code snapshots
  • episode: session events and structured checkpoints

Checkpoint Pattern

Before compaction, retain a checkpoint with:

  • what was completed
  • active constraints
  • current task
  • next steps
  • open questions

Use checkpoint=true for these records so they can be recovered separately.

Working Rules

  • Be specific. Vague memories are hard to retrieve later.
  • Prefer one focused memory per decision or convention.
  • Use get(ref_id) when a recall result looks relevant but the preview is not enough.
  • Do not spam duplicate memories. retain is idempotent for identical content and type.
  • Treat recalled content as context to verify, not as unquestionable truth.
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.
