nyrve: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

nyrve copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from malwarebo/nyrve. It costs 3,729 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Nyrve, a VS Code-based code editor with built-in AI coding agents. They explain where Nyrve-specific code belongs and how it should extend the underlying editor.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when implementing or modifying Nyrve features, especially code under src/nyrve/, agent behavior, context handling, editor integration, and project-specific conventions.
Why use it?
They help prevent changes from conflicting with VS Code’s core code and keep agent features, project memory, background work, and other Nyrve additions organized.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

This is malwarebo/nyrve's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on nyrve 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 nyrve 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

nyrve 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.

Nyrve IDE — AI-Native Code Editor

What Is This Project

Nyrve is a VS Code fork with Claude's agentic coding capabilities deeply integrated into every layer of the editor. Unlike Cursor (interactive AI editing) or Copilot (AI bolted onto an existing editor), Nyrve treats the AI agent as a first-class citizen — capable of autonomous multi-file edits, background monitoring, GitHub workflow automation, and persistent project memory.

Full product specification: .claude/nyrve-spec.md Always reference this spec when implementing features. Follow the architecture, interfaces, file structure, and naming conventions defined there.

Project Architecture

Nyrve inherits VS Code's layered architecture and adds a src/nyrve/ directory for all Nyrve-specific code. Never modify VS Code core files directly unless absolutely necessary — prefer extending via contribution points and service injection.

Nyrve-Specific Code (src/nyrve/)

All new Nyrve code lives here. This is the code YOU are building:

src/nyrve/
├── agent/           # Core agent engine, orchestration, action execution (Claude models only — Opus, Sonnet, Haiku)
├── context/         # @-mention system, context builder, editor bridge
├── indexer/         # Codebase indexer (Rust native addon in indexer/native/)
├── memory/          # Session memory, auto-extraction, decay
├── github/          # GitHub API integration, PR/issue management, CI monitoring
├── ui/              # All Nyrve UI panels (agent chat, diff review, task queue, etc.)
├── api/             # Public extension API for third-party integrations
└── core/            # Config, storage, encryption, updater

VS Code Base Architecture (read-only reference)

You need to understand these but should rarely modify them:

  • src/vs/base/ — Foundation utilities and cross-platform abstractions
  • src/vs/platform/ — Platform services and dependency injection infrastructure
  • src/vs/editor/ — Text editor (Monaco) implementation
  • src/vs/workbench/ — Main application workbench
    • workbench/browser/ — Core workbench UI components (parts, layout, actions)
    • workbench/services/ — Service implementations
    • workbench/contrib/ — Feature contributions (git, debug, search, terminal, etc.)
    • workbench/api/ — Extension host and VS Code API implementation
  • src/vs/code/ — Electron main process
  • src/vs/server/ — Server implementation

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.
