ai-instructions: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/spring-boot-container.instructions.md

ai-instructions spring-boot-container.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from lsampaioweb/ai-instructions. It costs 1,186 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for packaging Spring Boot applications in Docker images and Docker Compose services.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for writing Dockerfiles and Compose files, choosing runtime images, running as a non-root user, mounting writable directories, and adding health checks.
Why use it?
It reduces container security risks and makes application startup, health checks, permissions, storage, and restart behavior predictable.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is lsampaioweb/ai-instructions's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on ai-instructions 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 ai-instructions 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-instructions spring-boot-container.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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spring Boot Container Contract

These rules govern container images and Compose-based orchestration for Spring Boot projects. They are generic container rules. Service-specific contracts own the configuration and behavior of databases, brokers, caches, secret stores, and proxies.

Ownership

  • Defer application YAML, profiles, and secrets to spring-boot-config.instructions.md.
  • Defer HTTPS and certificate handling to spring-boot-tls.instructions.md.
  • Defer certificate and secret-file ignore patterns to spring-boot-gitignore.instructions.md.
  • Defer health endpoint exposure and authorization to spring-boot-actuator.instructions.md and spring-boot-security.instructions.md.
  • Defer human-facing container commands and prerequisites to spring-boot-readme.instructions.md.
  • Keep service-specific infrastructure settings in the contract for that service.

Image builds

  • Use a multi-stage build for deployable application images.
  • Keep compilation and dependency resolution in the builder stage; keep the runtime stage limited to the application artifact and runtime requirements.
  • Copy a locally built JAR into a runtime image only as an explicitly development-only workflow.
  • Use a base image whose Java runtime matches the project's configured Java version.
  • Prefer maintained minimal runtime images. Custom base images are optional, but their Java version, user, filesystem layout, and update process must be documented.
  • Pin image references to explicit versions. Use immutable digests for production deployments when the deployment platform supports them.
  • Keep build context small with a focused .dockerignore.
  • Do not copy source-controlled secrets, local environment files, build caches, or unrelated workspace files into an image.

Runtime identity and hardening

  • Run application containers as a non-root user.
  • Declare or verify the runtime user explicitly; do not rely on undocumented base-image behavior.
  • Drop Linux capabilities with cap_drop: ALL unless a documented runtime requirement needs a specific capability.
  • Set no-new-privileges:true for application and infrastructure services by default.
  • Use a read-only root filesystem with a narrowly scoped tmpfs for writable temporary paths when the process supports it.
  • Mount certificates, configuration, and persistent data read-only unless the process must write them.
  • Do not grant privileged mode or host namespaces without an explicit operational need.

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.
