symkit-mcp copilot-instructions.md

symkit-mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from LBurny/symkit-mcp. It costs 419 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of project instructions for GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, covering design documents, tests, software structure, governance and Python environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing the symkit-mcp project, especially before changing behavior, adding tests, managing Python packages or committing code.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents consistent project rules to follow, reducing accidental architecture changes, missing tests and unmanaged dependencies.

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

symkit-mcp 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

Copilot Custom Instructions

This document provides project context for VS Code GitHub Copilot Agent Mode.


Development Philosophy

  • Write or update design docs before changing behavior.
  • Add tests to tests/ for any new logic.
  • Keep the Domain Layer free of external dependencies.

Governance

You must follow this hierarchy:

  1. Constitution: CONSTITUTION.md — top-level principles, must not be violated
  2. Bylaws: .github/bylaws/*.md — detailed rules

Architecture Principles

  • Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
  • Data Access Layer (DAL) must be independent
  • Dependency direction: Presentation → Application → Domain ← Infrastructure

See .github/bylaws/ddd-architecture.md for details.


Python Environment (uv preferred)

  • Prefer uv for package and virtual environment management.
  • New projects must create pyproject.toml + uv.lock.
  • Do not install packages globally.
# Initialize environment
uv venv
uv sync --all-extras

# Install dependencies
uv add package-name
uv add --dev pytest ruff

See .github/bylaws/python-environment.md for details.


Git Workflow

Before committing, run this checklist:

  1. ✅ Run tests: uv run pytest
  2. ✅ Run lint: uv run ruff check src/ tests/
  3. ✅ Run type check: uv run mypy src/
  4. 📖 Update README if user-facing behavior changed
  5. 📋 Update CHANGELOG if applicable
  6. 🗺️ Update ROADMAP if progress was made

See .github/bylaws/git-workflow.md for details.


Project Notes

  • SymKit is a domain-agnostic symbolic formula derivation engine.
  • It exposes 43 MCP tools for math, derivation sessions, assumptions, verification, and orchestration.
  • Respond in Simplified Chinese when the user writes in Chinese.
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.
