user-feedback-web: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/serena-exploration.instructions.md

serena-code-exploration is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from HyperHeroX/user-feedback-web. It costs 244 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for exploring and analysing source code through Serena MCP tools, which let an agent inspect code symbols and their relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when tracing functions, searching for symbol references, and building an overview of an unfamiliar codebase.
Why use it?
It gives code exploration a defined order and discourages reading whole files or editing before understanding the relevant symbols.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is HyperHeroX/user-feedback-web's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on user-feedback-web 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 user-feedback-web 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

serena-code-exploration 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.

What it actually says

Serena MCP 原始碼探索指令

必須遵守

  • 所有源代碼探索和分析必須優先使用 Serena MCP 工具箱
  • 僅當 Serena MCP 無相關可用工具時,才可嘗試其他工具

工具優先順序

  1. 使用 get_symbols_overview 獲取檔案結構概覽
  2. 使用 find_symbol 進行精確的符號查詢
  3. 使用 search_for_pattern 進行模式搜尋
  4. 使用 find_referencing_symbols 查找符號引用

禁止行為

  • ❌ 不要直接讀取完整檔案(除非絕對必要)
  • ❌ 不要使用通用搜尋工具取代 Serena 符號工具
  • ❌ 不要跳過符號分析直接修改程式碼
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.
