CryptoExchange.Net: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

CryptoExchange.Net copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from JKorf/CryptoExchange.Net. It costs 905 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Coding instructions for CryptoExchange.Net, a C#/.NET library used by cryptocurrency-exchange integrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
They are for building multi-exchange cryptocurrency features with shared interfaces, symbols, market data, and concurrent requests.
Why use it?
They prevent code from using the base library incorrectly and explain how to write exchange-independent integrations.

This is JKorf/CryptoExchange.Net's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on CryptoExchange.Net 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 CryptoExchange.Net 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

CryptoExchange.Net 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.

Copilot Instructions for CryptoExchange.Net

This repository is CryptoExchange.Net — the base library powering 28+ cryptocurrency exchange wrappers in C#/.NET (Binance.Net, Bybit.Net, OKX.Net, Kraken.Net, Coinbase.Net, etc.).

When generating code in this ecosystem, follow these conventions:

You don't install CryptoExchange.Net directly

Install the exchange-specific library you need (Binance.Net, JK.OKX.Net, Bybit.Net, ...) or CryptoClients.Net for the bundle. CryptoExchange.Net is pulled in as a dependency.

Multi-exchange code uses SharedApis

For code that must work against multiple exchanges, use CryptoExchange.Net.SharedApis interfaces accessed via .SharedClient properties on each exchange's API surface:

using CryptoExchange.Net.SharedApis;

ISpotTickerRestClient binance = new BinanceRestClient().SpotApi.SharedClient;
ISpotTickerRestClient okx     = new OKXRestClient().UnifiedApi.SharedClient;

var symbol = new SharedSymbol(TradingMode.Spot, "BTC", "USDT");
var ticker = await binance.GetSpotTickerAsync(new GetTickerRequest(symbol));

Same code works on every exchange that implements the interface. Use Task.WhenAll for concurrent multi-exchange calls.

Shared symbol metadata

CryptoExchange.Net 12.2.0 classifies the base and quote sides of SharedSpotSymbol and SharedFuturesSymbol with SharedAssetType (Crypto, Fiat, TradFi) and optional SharedAssetSubType (StableCoin, Equity, Commodity). The models also expose DisplayName. Use the corresponding base/quote fields on GetSymbolsRequest to filter symbol discovery.

ISpotSymbolRestClient.SpotSymbolCatalog is populated by GetSpotSymbolsAsync; IFuturesSymbolRestClient.FuturesSymbolCatalog is populated by GetFuturesSymbolsAsync. Do not assume a catalog is available before that request. For exchange-library implementations, LibraryHelpers.IsStableCoin, IsCommodity, and IsEquity offer best-effort classification and can be extended with exchange-specific values.

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.
