Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is Kaifazad/Style-DNA-Ghostwriter's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on Style-DNA-Ghostwriter 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 Style-DNA-Ghostwriter configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/runner/work/Style-DNA-Ghostwriter/Style-DNA-Ghostwriter)..

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

Style-DNA-Ghostwriter 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 17d 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 — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Style DNA (auto-generated -- do not hand-edit this section)

These conventions were extracted from this codebase's own source (42 files analyzed). Follow them for any new or modified code:

Python Conventions

  • Name functions and variables in snake_case (observed in 31 files from /home/runner/work/Style-DNA-Ghostwriter/Style-DNA-Ghostwriter).
  • Prefix internal/private names with a leading underscore (observed in ~20% of internal names).
  • Write plain-style docstrings on public functions/classes (coverage ~24% in this codebase).
  • Use type hints (observed in ~58% of function signatures).
  • Error handling convention: custom exceptions.
  • Prefer raising custom/domain-specific exception classes over generic ones.
  • Use double quotes for strings, matching the rest of the codebase.
  • Keep functions close to the codebase's typical length (~14 lines on average); avoid sprawling functions.
  • Common decorators in this codebase: property, classmethod, fixture.
  • Import ordering convention: grouped stdlib first.

Web Conventions

JavaScript / TypeScript

  • JS/TS quote style: mixed; prefer single quotes for new strings.
  • Semicolons: mixed in codebase; prefer omitting semicolons for new code.
  • Prefer arrow functions (const fn = () => {}).
  • Prefer named exports.
  • Use path aliases (@/...) instead of relative paths.
  • Prefer interface over type for object shapes in TypeScript.
  • TypeScript typing coverage: ~85% of function signatures are typed.
  • Comment style: JSDoc (/** ... */).

React / Next.js

  • React component style: mixed in codebase; prefer arrow functions (const Button = () => ...) for all new components.
  • Component file naming: PascalCase.
  • ~25% of components use 'use client' directive.
  • Custom hook patterns in use: useCartStore, useProducts.
  • State management: zustand.

CSS / Styling

  • Styling approach: Tailwind CSS utility classes.
  • Uses CSS custom properties (var(--token-name)) for design tokens.
  • Preferred color format: HSL.

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.
