kkRepo: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

kkRepo copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from klboke/kkRepo. It costs 479 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of coding rules for kkRepo, a self-hosted service that stores software packages and files for other applications to use. It covers compatibility with Nexus and package standards, architecture, storage, distributed operation, migrations, builds, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing or reviewing kkRepo server features, storage and permissions, migrations, or build and test changes. It also guides compatibility work and code organization.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents project-specific boundaries, so changes fit the repository’s design and can work across multiple server instances. It also reduces mistakes in protocol behavior, data storage, migrations, and verification.

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is klboke/kkRepo's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on kkRepo 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 kkRepo 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

kkRepo 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 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.

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.

kkRepo Copilot Instructions

kkRepo is a Nexus-compatible, self-hosted artifact repository. Treat Nexus and the official package protocols as compatibility references. Do not invent protocol behavior from memory.

Engineering Rules

  • Use Java 25.
  • Prefer the existing module boundaries and local helper APIs.
  • Keep server-side protocol logic out of controllers; controllers should delegate to protocol services/adapters.
  • Large blobs belong in OSS/S3-compatible storage. MySQL stores metadata, indexes, references, users, permissions, tokens, audit data, and migration state.
  • Any stateful feature must work in distributed multi-replica deployments. Do not rely on a single JVM as the source of truth for sessions, uploads, deletes, locks, background jobs, cache invalidation, metadata rebuilds, negative cache, or permission decisions.
  • In-process cache is allowed only as rebuildable hot cache with a clear TTL or invalidation path.
  • Migration is a product feature, not a one-off script. Prefer idempotent dry-run, resume, checksum validation, and reporting.

Build and Test

  • When compiling or testing server, always use -am, for example mvn -pl server -am test.
  • When selecting one server test with -am, include -Dsurefire.failIfNoSpecifiedTests=false.
  • Use Java 25 explicitly if the local shell may not be configured: JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@25/25.0.3/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home.
  • Before replacing a runtime jar, build an executable Spring Boot jar with: mvn -pl server -am -DskipTests package spring-boot:repackage.

Compatibility Workflow

  • Add or update compatibility tests under compat-test for protocol behavior changes.
  • Compare HTTP status, headers, body semantics, generated metadata, checksums, and real client behavior.
  • Normalize host, timestamps, ordering, or generated IDs only when the protocol allows it.

Review Focus

  • Look for Nexus compatibility regressions, multi-replica state bugs, metadata/index consistency issues, unsafe upload/delete behavior, permission bypasses, SSRF risk in proxy repositories, and missing tests.
  • For docs, keep docs/en and docs/zh aligned when both locales cover the same behavior.

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.
