chamber copilot-instructions.md

A set of project-specific instructions for GitHub Copilot, an AI coding assistant, working in the Chamber codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides code generation and review in Chamber, including TypeScript and Electron changes that must match the repository's pinned setup.
Why use it?
It reduces incompatible changes by telling Copilot which versions, architecture rules, security boundaries, and existing coding patterns to follow.

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

chamber 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.

GitHub Copilot Instructions — Chamber

These instructions tell Copilot how to produce code that fits the Chamber codebase. They reflect patterns that already exist here. When in doubt, prefer consistency with surrounding code over external best practices.

Priority Guidelines

  1. Version compatibility — match the exact versions pinned in package.json and .nvmrc. Never use APIs newer than what is installed.
  2. Architecture first — respect the dependency direction described in Architecture below. A change that violates it is wrong, even if it compiles.
  3. Read these files first when context is needed: AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CHANGELOG.md, tsconfig.json, eslint.config.mjs.
  4. Codebase patterns over invention — scan neighboring files (same folder, same kind of test, same kind of service) and copy their shape. Do not introduce a pattern that does not already exist somewhere in src/.
  5. Security boundaries are non-negotiable — see Security below.

Stack & Versions (pinned)

  • Runtime: Node 24.15.0 (.nvmrc), Electron 41
  • Language: TypeScript 6.0, ESM source (CommonJS module target in tsconfig.json), target: ESNext, strict: true, noImplicitAny: true, moduleResolution: bundler, JSX react-jsx
  • Path alias: @/*./src/* (tsconfig + config/vitest.config.ts + components.json)
  • UI: React 19, Tailwind CSS 4, shadcn/ui style radix-nova (Radix primitives + CVA + tailwind-merge + clsx), Lucide icons
  • Markdown: react-markdown + remark-gfm + rehype-highlight + highlight.js
  • Build: Electron Forge 7.11 + @electron-forge/plugin-vite + Vite 8
  • Testing: Vitest 4, @testing-library/react, @testing-library/jest-dom, jsdom
  • Lint: ESLint 10 flat config, typescript-eslint 8, eslint-plugin-import-x
  • Copilot SDK: @github/[email protected] and @github/[email protected] — both pinned exactly, not ranged. The runtime is committed under chamber-copilot-runtime/ and shipped in the package; do not bump either without a coordinated changelog entry.
  • Other: keytar@7 (credentials), croner@10 (cron), radix-ui@1, [email protected]

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.
