ai-instructions: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/spring-review-topics.instructions.md

ai-instructions spring-review-topics.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from lsampaioweb/ai-instructions. It costs 628 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A registry that maps Spring review topics, such as quality, security, databases, internationalisation, and performance, to the instruction files used by reviewer agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route focused reviews and determine which Spring Boot guidance applies to a set of project files.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers select only the rules relevant to the files under review and avoids reviewing instruction files that are intentionally excluded.

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-review-topics.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 6d 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.

Spring Review Topics

Rules

  • Treat this file as the canonical mapping between review topics and instruction files.
  • Keep each instruction file in exactly one topic.
  • Resolve applicable instruction files for a review run as follows:
    1. Start from the instruction files mapped to the active topic.
    2. Keep a mapped instruction file only when its applyTo matches at least one path under review, or the ADR maps that instruction file to a reviewed file.
    3. If the filtered set is empty, return STATUS: PASS with an empty ISSUES section.
  • Leave these instruction files intentionally unreviewed by topic reviewers: .github/instructions/spring-boot-readme.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-review-topics.instructions.md, .github/instructions/ai-customization.instructions.md.
  • Topic qa: .github/instructions/spring-boot-architecture.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-java-style.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-logging.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-controller.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-service.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-test.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-dto-mapper.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-openapi.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-pom.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-application.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-enum.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-error-code.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-api-versioning.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-thymeleaf.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-websocket.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-container.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-gitignore.instructions.md.
  • Topic security: .github/instructions/spring-boot-security.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-config.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-actuator.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-http-client.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-exception.instructions.md.
  • Topic database: .github/instructions/spring-boot-repository.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-database-schema.instructions.md, .github/instructions/spring-boot-model.instructions.md.
  • Topic i18n: .github/instructions/spring-boot-i18n.instructions.md.

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.
