PEDAL copilot-instructions.md

PEDAL copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from krgoodnews/PEDAL. It costs 280 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for using the PEDAL workflow, a process for planning, documenting, building, reviewing, and tracking engineering work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them for PEDAL commands and for work involving plans, engineering documents, implementation, gap analysis, iteration, reports, archiving, or status.
Why use it?
They tell the coding agent which project documents to read and how to interpret requests such as planning, implementation, analysis, and status checks.

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

PEDAL 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Copilot Instructions

PEDAL workflow

This workspace uses the PEDAL workflow. When a user asks about PEDAL, planning, engineering documents, implementation, gap analysis, iteration, learning reports, archiving, or status, read .pedal/PEDAL.md first and follow it as the source of truth.

PEDAL actions can be requested in natural language, for example:

  • PEDAL plan A_Project user-auth
  • PEDAL engineering A_Project user-auth
  • PEDAL do A_Project user-auth
  • PEDAL analyze A_Project user-auth
  • PEDAL status A_Project
  • PEDAL spec A_Project user-auth
  • PEDAL build A_Project user-auth
  • PEDAL dev A_Project user-auth

Follow these rules:

  1. Treat .pedal/PEDAL.md as the common, tool-agnostic specification.
  2. Do not depend on Gemini-only slash commands. Map requests to the PEDAL phases defined in .pedal/PEDAL.md.
  3. Run PEDAL from the workspace root, and use the feature worktree for feature-specific edits.
  4. Infer state from worktree and docs/ artifacts instead of using a separate status file.
  5. Read docs/wiki/CONVENTIONS.md during Plan, Engineering, Do, and Analyze phases if it exists.
Changes

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.
