ai-instructions: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

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

ai-instructions spring-boot-pom.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from lsampaioweb/ai-instructions. It costs 880 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Maven build rules for Spring Boot projects. Maven is a tool that manages Java dependencies, plugins, versions, and the project build.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing a Spring Boot POM, adding dependencies, setting project versions, or checking optional modules.
Why use it?
It prevents incompatible framework, Java, plugin, and dependency choices from making the project difficult to build or maintain.

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-pom.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.

Rules

Project coordinates

  • groupId is always br.com.lsampaioweb.

  • version keeps the -SNAPSHOT suffix during active development (e.g. 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT). Only drop -SNAPSHOT when an actual release is being cut via mvn release:prepare.

  • Set java.version (or compiler release) to 25 unless an approved ADR Instruction override names a different Java major.

  • Use the latest stable Spring Boot 4.x parent unless an approved ADR Instruction override names a different Boot line.

  • When the module needs Spring Cloud, import spring-cloud-dependencies using the release train that matches the Boot generation in the table below. Prefer the latest service release of that train (for Boot 4.1.x that means 2025.1.2 or newer). Do not invent train numbers; verify against https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud when unsure.

    Spring Boot Spring Cloud release train
    4.1.x 2025.1.x (Oakwood), starting at 2025.1.2
    4.0.x 2025.1.x (Oakwood)

    The Cloud BOM may still list an older <spring-boot.version>; that is expected when the Boot parent already manages the Boot line. Compatibility is defined by the table above, not by copying the BOM's internal Boot property.

  • Never leave <url /> or <licenses><license /></licenses> as empty stub tags. If no real project URL or license has been decided, omit the tags entirely - ask the user rather than fabricating a license.

Source control metadata

  • Always include the <scm> block when the project has a git repository, added from project creation (not deferred to release time):
    <scm>
      <developerConnection>scm:git:<repository-url></developerConnection>
      <tag>HEAD</tag>
    </scm>
    

Dependency documentation

  • Every <dependency> has a one-line <!-- purpose --> comment placed directly above the <dependency> tag (not inside it) explaining why it is there.

Dependency ordering

  • Group and order dependencies as:
    1. Spring Boot / Spring Cloud / Spring Security starters (framework-provided). Within this group, spring-boot-devtools goes last since it is a dev-only convenience, not a feature starter.
    2. Third-party libraries (non-Spring groupIds: e.g. org.projectlombok, org.mapstruct, org.springdoc, org.postgresql, com.zaxxer), ordered alphabetically by artifactId.
    3. Internal/project-owned dependencies (for multi-module projects).
    4. Test-scoped dependencies, always last, regardless of groupId.

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.
