bodyboard: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

bodyboard copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from louisbrulenaudet/bodyboard. It costs 901 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for Bodyboard, a TypeScript tool that creates matching instruction files for several coding assistants from one AGENTS.md file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when maintaining Bodyboard or changing how it generates outputs for Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cline, Claude, Rules, Windsurf, and Codex.
Why use it?
It prevents the same project rules from drifting apart across different coding tools. Updating one source file can keep their generated instructions consistent.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is louisbrulenaudet/bodyboard's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on bodyboard itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything bodyboard configures →

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00901 $0.00901

Security

Grade A, and why

bodyboard 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 9d 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.

Bodyboard Agents Instructions

Project Overview

Bodyboard provides a unified system for generating canonical instructions for coding assistants from a single AGENTS.md file. It streamlines the creation of adapter outputs for multiple code helpers, including Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cline, Claude, Rules, Windsurf, and OpenAI Codex. By maintaining all instructions in one place, Bodyboard ensures consistency and simplifies updates across integrations.

Supported adapters: Gemini, Copilot, Cline, Claude, Rules (Zod), Windsurf

Tech Stack

  • Language: TypeScript (strict mode, ESNext)
  • Formatting/Linting: Biome (spaces, double quotes, recommended rules)
  • Build Tools: Makefile, npm scripts
  • CLI: Custom Bodyboard CLI for output generation
  • Environment: Node.js

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.
