plugin-files-mode

plugin-files-mode is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from griddynamics/rosetta. It costs 236 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules that tells an add-on to load its instructions, skills, agents, and workflows from local plugin files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for bootstrapping a plugin session, loading project skills, and resolving rules, workflows, and agent definitions from the plugin directory.
Why use it?
It keeps the add-on's behavior tied to the files in the project instead of relying on assumed or remote instructions.

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

plugin-files-mode 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 today.

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

<rosetta:plugin_files_mode REQUIRED="true" OVERRIDABLE="FALSE" PLAN_MODE="FULLY COMPATIBLE" severity="CRITICAL" use="ALWAYS" compact="NEVER" summarize="AS-IS">

Rosetta bootstrap, release R3 of instructions itself (the tool developing this workspace). RUNNING AS PLUGIN — Plugin Mode Active, context appended via hooks.

Rosetta Prep Steps = execute once per session: USE SKILL load-project-context, hitl.

PLUGIN FILES ONLY — any Rosetta/KB MCP mention resolves to local plugin files at plugin root, NEVER Rosetta MCP: RULE rules/*.md, SKILL skills/*/SKILL.md, AGENT/SUBAGENT agents/*.md, WORKFLOW/COMMAND prompts/*.md, CONFIGURE configure/*.md. Load the actual plugin file; reconstruction/assumption != loading.

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.
