spec-superflow: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

spec-superflow copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from MageByte-Zero/spec-superflow. It costs 69 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for the exploring stage of the spec-superflow software-change workflow. At this stage, the agent can clarify needs and compare options but cannot create plans or implementation files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when discussing requirements, defining the change's scope, comparing approaches, or deciding whether the work can move to the specification stage.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from moving ahead before the project scope is confirmed and the required decision point is approved.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is MageByte-Zero/spec-superflow's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on spec-superflow 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 spec-superflow 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

spec-superflow 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 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.

What it actually says

spec-superflow — opt-in

仅当用户明确要求 spec-superflow,或用户要求继续的活动 change 含 .spec-superflow.yaml 时使用 workflow-start。否则正常处理任务,不应用 spec-superflow 门禁。通用 proposal、spec、design、tasks、contract 文件不是触发信号。

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.
