HC3_mcp: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

HC3_mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from jangabrielsson/HC3_mcp. It costs 210 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a VS Code extension with a server that connects coding agents to Fibaro HC3, a home-automation system, through its REST API. They describe the TypeScript project, setup, build, debugging, and documentation requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, compiling, debugging, or documenting the VS Code extension and its Fibaro HC3 integration.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project context and a checklist for compiling and preparing the extension. This reduces missed setup or documentation work.

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 C, and why

HC3_mcp copilot-instructions.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

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.
