Instructions file for Claude CodeGitHub Copilot

Written for Claude Code and GitHub Copilot: PreToolUse hook event, but also a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is jl-cmd/claude-dream's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and GitHub Copilot how to work on claude-dream 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 claude-dream 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 C, and why

claude-dream 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.

Code rules for Claude, Cursor BugBot, Copilot, and other agents

This file is the canonical review-criteria instruction set for every AI agent that audits pull requests in this repository:

  • Claude (PR review)
  • Cursor BugBot (PR review)
  • GitHub Copilot (PR review)
  • Any other agent that loads AGENTS.md or .cursor/BUGBOT.md for review

These rules describe the green-light state of code in this repository. Agents apply them to the lines a PR adds or modifies, surface deviations as findings, and recommend corrections. Output is review feedback.

Where a rule lists exemptions (test files, migrations, config files), the exemption applies. Where a rule shows a before/after pair, the "after" form is the green-light pattern.

This file is rules-only. Repo layout, build commands, and workflow guidance live elsewhere.

Surface map: this file is the canonical human and AI code-quality review contract. packages/claude-dev-env/docs/CODE_RULES.md is its compact projection. packages/claude-dev-env/hooks/blocking/code_rules_enforcer.py is hand-maintained production enforcement (not generated from this file). .cursor/BUGBOT.md is a sync projection of this file. Session policies (question routing, task tracking) live under packages/claude-dev-env/rules/ — see rules/code-standards.md.

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.
