apex-accelerator azure-artifacts.instructions.md

apex-accelerator azure-artifacts.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator. It costs 2,037 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for generating project documents and other artifacts from templates. It requires exact headings and specific elements such as badges, navigation, attribution, and diagrams.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps coding agents create template-compliant documentation, status pages, reports, and other project artifacts.
Why use it?
It prevents generated documents from breaking the project's required format. Automated checks at commit time and in continuous integration (CI) catch violations before changes are accepted.

Getting it into your agent

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

apex-accelerator azure-artifacts.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Artifact Generation Rules

Use exact H2 headings from the template files. Violations block commits and PRs.

The artifact contract is enforced at commit/CI time only — agents do not self-lint. Validated by the lefthook artifact-validation pre-commit hook (which wraps npm run validate:artifacts) and CI; see agent-authoring.instructions.md.

The azure-artifacts/SKILL.md is authoritative — read it for templates, workflow, styling.

Structural Elements (Beyond H2 Headings)

Templates define structural elements that agents reproduce. Validated by the lefthook artifact-validation pre-commit hook (wraps npm run validate:artifacts / lint:artifact-templates) and CI — agents do not self-lint.

Element What to Copy from Template
Badge row ![Step] / ![Status] / ![Agent] shields
Collapsible TOC <details open> block with section links
Attribution > Generated by {agent} agent | {date}
Cross-navigation Header table with ⬅️ Previous / 📑 Index / Next ➡️
Mermaid diagrams ```mermaid blocks (keep or replace with real content)
Traffic-light status Use ✅ / ⚠️ / ❌ in status columns (all three required)
Collapsible sections <details> blocks for expandable content

Complete H2 Heading Reference

Copy-paste headings from the template files. Do not paraphrase.

Canonical H2 heading lists for all 15 artifact types live in the template files:

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.
