mcp-shell-server copilot-instructions.md

mcp-shell-server copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from mako10k/mcp-shell-server. It costs 299 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for an MCP server that lets coding assistants use shell commands. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a way for an assistant to connect to external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying the shell server, its TypeScript code, error handling, or build workflow. They cover linting, duplicate-code checks, compilation, commits, and the required development sequence.
Why use it?
They define safety and communication rules for a server that uses the standard input/output channel, where stray logging can break tool communication. They also specify the checks required before completing changes.

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

mcp-shell-server 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 4d 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

Copilot Instructions

Development Rules (開発ルール)

  • Do not use console.log(...) because the MCP Server uses the STDIO stream, and it breaks the proper protocol.
  • Do not implement error recovery mechanisms that compromise security.
  • Comply with Fail Fast principles.
  • Ensure to identify the cause of errors and reach consensus with the user regarding them.
  • Confirm requirements before making changes when the intent is unclear.

Development Cycle (Fine-Grained Development)

  • Granular Development Cycle: MUST commit after completing each function or paragraph
  • Quality Checks: Execute the following before each commit:
    1. ESLint syntax check (npm run lint)
    2. jscpd duplicate code check (npm run check-duplicates)
    3. TypeScript compilation check (npm run build)
  • Commit Messages: MUST be in English with clear feature descriptions
  • Error Handling: If quality checks fail, fix issues before re-checking

Quality Assurance Pipeline

# Standard check sequence after development completion
npm run lint
npm run check-duplicates  
npm run build
git add .
git commit -m "feat: [specific feature description]"

Development Flow Example

  1. Implement new feature → Quality check → Commit
  2. Implement next feature → Quality check → Commit
  3. Fix bug → Quality check → Commit
  4. Refactor code → Quality check → Commit

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.
