Why use it?
It explains the project structure, supported runtime, installation method, checks, and files that must stay out of commits.

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

premiere-pro-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 10d 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.

GitHub Copilot repository instructions

Project and architecture

  • This repository is the TypeScript MCP server for Adobe Premiere Pro. The production path is a local Node.js server communicating with the CEP bridge through private file-based IPC. The UXP bridge is a capability-aware preview for supported Premiere 25.6+ APIs.
  • src/server.ts assembles the MCP surface. Tool modules live in src/tools/, bridge code in src/bridge/, the production CEP extension in cep-plugin/, and the preview backend in uxp-plugin/.
  • Treat README.md, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and RESEARCH.md as the canonical product, trust-model, contribution, and compatibility references.

Development workflow

  • Use Node.js 24 for repository work; the supported runtime floor is Node.js 20.19.
  • Install deterministically with npm ci.
  • Before requesting review, run npm run check. For changes that affect coverage-sensitive behavior, also run npm run test:coverage.
  • Keep generated build output, credentials, certificates, Premiere project/media files, and local diagnostics out of commits.
  • Make focused changes. Do not rewrite unrelated files or update dependency lockfiles unless the task requires it.

Implementation rules

  • Generated ExtendScript must remain ECMAScript 3 compatible: use var, traditional functions and loops, and no arrow functions, let, const, template literals, or other modern syntax.
  • Escape every user-controlled string embedded in ExtendScript with the existing escaping helpers. Never interpolate raw paths, names, expressions, or prompts into generated scripts.
  • Preserve capability and authority boundaries. Raw scripting tools stay disabled unless the explicit unsafe-script capability is enabled.
  • Prefer documented Premiere APIs. QE DOM behavior is experimental and must be described as such.
  • Mutating tools must verify their postconditions. Do not report success from a host API return value alone, and do not silently retry a failed UXP mutation through CEP or QE.
  • Keep tool schemas, descriptions, registrations, structured results, tests, documentation, and reported counts synchronized.
  • Reuse existing helpers and module patterns before introducing new abstractions or dependencies.

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.
