opencode-agent-skills copilot-instructions.md

opencode-agent-skills copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from joshuadavidthomas/opencode-agent-skills. It costs 681 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for AI coding agents working on a project that uses bd, a Git-backed issue tracker called Beads. They describe how to find, create, update, close, and synchronize development tasks, along with project commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when contributing to the project, especially to select available issues, claim work, record progress, run validation commands, and synchronize completed tasks.
Why use it?
They give coding agents a consistent way to manage work and keep task status synchronized with the repository. They also document the commands used to build, test, lint, and check the project.

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

opencode-agent-skills 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 4d 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.

GitHub Copilot Instructions

Issue Tracking with bd

This project uses bd (beads) for issue tracking - a Git-backed tracker designed for AI-supervised coding workflows.

Key Features:

  • Dependency-aware issue tracking
  • Auto-sync with Git via JSONL
  • AI-optimized CLI with JSON output
  • Built-in daemon for background operations
  • MCP server integration for Claude and other AI assistants

CRITICAL: Use bd for ALL task tracking. Do NOT create markdown TODO lists.

Essential Commands

# Find work
bd ready --json                    # Unblocked issues
bd stale --days 30 --json          # Forgotten issues

# Create and manage
bd create "Title" -t bug|feature|task -p 0-4 --json
bd create "Subtask" --parent <epic-id> --json  # Hierarchical subtask
bd update <id> --status in_progress --json
bd close <id> --reason "Done" --json

# Search
bd list --status open --priority 1 --json
bd show <id> --json

# Sync (CRITICAL at end of session!)
bd sync  # Force immediate export/commit/push

Workflow

  1. Check ready work: bd ready --json
  2. Claim task: bd update <id> --status in_progress
  3. Work on it: Implement, test, document
  4. Discover new work? bd create \"Found bug\" -p 1 --deps discovered-from:<parent-id> --json
  5. Complete: bd close <id> --reason \"Done\" --json
  6. Sync: bd sync (flushes changes to git immediately)

Priorities

  • 0 - Critical (security, data loss, broken builds)
  • 1 - High (major features, important bugs)
  • 2 - Medium (default, nice-to-have)
  • 3 - Low (polish, optimization)
  • 4 - Backlog (future ideas)

Git Workflow

  • Always commit .beads/issues.jsonl with code changes
  • Run bd sync at end of work sessions
  • Install git hooks: bd hooks install (ensures DB ↔ JSONL consistency)

MCP Server (Recommended)

For MCP-compatible clients (Claude Desktop, etc.), install the beads MCP server:

  • Install: pip install beads-mcp
  • Functions: mcp__beads__ready(), mcp__beads__create(), etc.

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.
