DocMason copilot-instructions.md

DocMason copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from JetXu-LLM/DocMason. It costs 482 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A short set of instructions that adapts a repository's normal guidance for GitHub Copilot. It explains which files and workflows Copilot should follow for ordinary requests and explicit operator tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps Copilot read the right instructions, choose the correct workflow, and work within the repository's documented conventions.
Why use it?
It prevents Copilot from skipping the repository's required process or treating partial command output as a finished answer.

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

DocMason 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 6d 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.

DocMason GitHub Copilot Notes

Start by reading AGENTS.md. AGENTS.md is the baseline repository contract. This file is only the minimal GitHub Copilot adaptation layer for the current workspace.

For an ordinary user request in GitHub Copilot:

  • after AGENTS.md, the normal next read is skills/canonical/ask/SKILL.md
  • then open canonical ask through the Canonical Ask Contract in that skill and follow the returned route
  • do not start with workspace-status, workspace-bootstrap, source search, CLI help, or ad hoc implementation reading unless the request is clearly explicit operator work or canonical ask returns that route
  • do not treat direct retrieve or trace output as completion of the ask contract

For explicit operator work:

  • follow the matching canonical workflow or stable docmason CLI from AGENTS.md
  • do not force setup, status, sync, or review work through the ordinary ask front door

Copilot-Specific Delta

  • Do not assume Codex-native behavior is available just because repository guidance mentions Codex as the native reference path.
  • Use the current GitHub Copilot tool surface to achieve the same repository outcome when the exact Codex interaction model is different.
  • If a Codex-oriented note assumes implicit image visibility, use explicit image inspection tools such as view_image, or use published multimodal artifacts such as visual_layout and render-linked evidence instead of assuming that file paths are already visually available.
  • Treat differences in transcript fidelity, attachment capture, or image visibility as current adapter-surface differences unless the repository explicitly states a product limitation.
  • If a Codex-oriented workflow mentions main and sub agents, keep the main agent responsible for critical-path reasoning, mutations, publication, and final sign-off. Use a subagent only when the current environment explicitly supports it and the delegated work is read-only or clearly disjoint.
  • Prefer equivalent file reads, searches, validation surfaces, terminal commands, and published artifact inspection over inventing Copilot-only behavior.
  • Do not assume Claude-specific helpers, generated skill shims, or interaction-history enrichments are loaded unless the current GitHub Copilot environment explicitly exposes them.
  • Keep the adaptation minimal. Do not create a parallel GitHub Copilot product contract when the existing repository contract already applies.

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.
