RulePort copilot-instructions.md

RulePort copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from lewiesnyder/RulePort. It costs 1,073 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for an AI coding assistant working on the RulePort project, including rules for logging and project practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an assistant changes RulePort code and needs guidance on log levels, timestamps, stack traces, debugging, specifications, predefined tasks, and commits.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant consistent project-specific expectations, such as recording useful error details and following the project’s reference documents and commit format.

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

RulePort copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

- Minimize external dependencies. Usage of native `fs`, `path`, and `child_process` is preferred.

AI Assistant Rules

This file consolidates all rules from cursor configuration.


Always Apply Rules

These rules apply to all files:

logging-standards

Logging standards and best practices

Logging Standards

Logging Format

  • Include timestamp, log level, message, and any relevant metadata.
  • Use log levels (e.g., info, warn, debug, error).

Error Logging

  • Always include error messages and stack traces in error logs.

Debug Logging

  • Debug logs should be gated behind a DEBUG environment variable.
  • Use debug level for verbose logging.

Logging levels

  • Use info level for general information.
  • Use warn level for warnings.
  • Use debug level for detailed debugging.
  • Use error level for errors.

project-standards

Global project standards and best practices

Project Standards

Primary Reference Documents

ALWAYS refer to:

  • specifications/SPEC_CONSTITUTION.md - Project-wide standards

Tasks

Predefined tasks can be found in the ./specifications/tasks dir. Use these when crafting features and planning your work. You will be told which task to pick up.

Commit Protocol

  • Use Conventional Commits format: type(scope): subject.
    • Types: feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore.
    • Example: feat(sync): add support for --target flag

Documentation

  • Keep README Updated: Any change to a user's interaction with ruleport must be reflected in README.md.
  • Self-Documenting Code: Complex logic in sync scripts must have comments explaining the "why", not just the "how".

File Organization

  • New features should be modular.
  • Do not create files in the root directory unless they are critical configuration or entry points.

typescript-standards

Typescript coding standards

TypeScript Standards

Syntax

  • Use ES Modules (import / export) for all TypeScript files.
  • Use const for variables that don't change, let for those that do. Avoid var.
  • Use String Interpolation (Template Literals) over concatenation.
  • Use Interfaces for object definitions and public contracts.
  • Use Explicit Return Types for public functions to ensure stable contracts.

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.
