Langpad copilot-instructions.md

A set of GitHub Copilot instructions for Langpad, an Obsidian desktop plugin that lets users chat with external coding agents. It explains the project structure and rules for changing the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guiding changes to Langpad’s React and TypeScript interface, agent sessions, message streaming, Agent Client Protocol communication, and shared message handling.
Why use it?
It tells an agent where features belong and which architectural boundaries to respect. This reduces the chance of placing logic in the wrong layer or breaking the project’s integration code.

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

Langpad 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to obsidian-agent-client copilot-instructions.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

GitHub Copilot Instructions (obsidian-agent-client)

Big picture

  • Obsidian desktop plugin (React 19 + TypeScript) that chats with external coding agents via Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
  • Uses a React Hooks Architecture: hooks own state/logic, components render, adapters integrate external systems, domain is pure types.

Key directories / “where to change things”

  • UI composition + adapter instantiation: src/components/chat/ChatView.tsx (creates adapters via useMemo, composes hooks).
  • Session lifecycle + agent switching: src/hooks/useAgentSession.ts.
  • Message state + streaming updates: src/hooks/useChat.ts.
  • ACP process + JSON-RPC wiring: src/adapters/acp/acp.adapter.ts.
  • Pure message prep/sending (mentions, auto-mention, WSL path conversion): src/shared/message-service.ts.
  • Domain contracts only (no deps): src/domain/models/*, src/domain/ports/*.

Architectural rules (project-specific)

  • Keep src/domain/** dependency-free: no obsidian imports, no @agentclientprotocol/sdk imports.
  • Add new behavior as hooks under src/hooks/ and compose them in ChatView.tsx (avoid introducing ViewModel/UseCase classes).
  • Put non-React business logic in src/shared/ as pure functions (see message-service.ts).
  • Adapters implement ports and isolate protocol/platform churn (ACP changes should mostly stay in src/adapters/acp/).

SessionUpdate / tool-call update flow (critical)

  • Use the unified pipeline: AcpAdapter.onSessionUpdate(...)useChat.handleSessionUpdate(...).
  • Tool calls must be updated via useChat.upsertToolCall(...) using functional setMessages((prev) => ...) to avoid race conditions from streaming tool_call_update events.
  • When merging tool-call content, preserve existing values when updates are undefined and treat diffs as replace-all (see mergeToolCallContent in useChat.ts).

Obsidian & platform constraints

  • Desktop-only: ChatView throws when !Platform.isDesktopApp.
  • Use Obsidian Platform.isWin/isMacOS/isLinux helpers (avoid process.platform).
  • No innerHTML/outerHTML; use Obsidian element helpers (createEl/createDiv/createSpan).
  • Don't detach leaves in onunload.
  • Keep styling in styles.css (avoid JS style manipulation).

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.
