Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is iloveitaly/llm-ide-rules's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on llm-ide-rules 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 llm-ide-rules 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

llm-ide-rules fastapi.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 7d 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

Fastapi

  • Raise ClientError (app.routes.errors) instead of HTTPException. See the ClientError docstring for further instructions and usage.
  • Do not return a dict, instead create a class RouteNameResponse
    • Locate these classes right above the def route_name(): function which uses them.
  • Use Model.one when a record must exist in order for the business logic to succeed.
  • Do not try/except Model.one when using a parameter from the request to pull a record. Let this exception bubble up.
  • Use model_id: Annotated[TypeID, Path()] to represent a model ID as a URL path parameter
  • Use the typed route helpers in app/generated/fastapi_typed_routes.py for all URL generation.
  • User-facing errors must not name internals. 3rd party API errors (Stripe, Clerk, etc) or internal implementation jargon should exist in error messages displayed to the browser. Think hard about user-facing error messages and make it clear what the user should do next.
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.
