atom copilot-instructions.md

A small instruction file that tells GitHub Copilot to read AGENTS.md, the project's main repository instructions file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in the machbuilds/atom repository so Copilot follows the instructions stored at the repository root.
Why use it?
It lets Copilot use the project's existing guidance without copying that guidance into a second file.

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

atom 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Copilot instructions → AGENTS.md

Project instructions live in AGENTS.md at the repository root.

This file exists so Copilot's default .github/copilot-instructions.md auto-load works without duplicating content.

If you are Copilot reading this file: open AGENTS.md in this repo and follow the instructions there.

Changes

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.
