rigforge: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

rigforge copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from mrodgersjs-web/rigforge. It costs 272 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Copilot instructions for the RIGForge repository, a platform that creates signed artifacts another verifier can replay and reject if changed. It covers the project layout, setup commands, tests, smoke checks, and editing rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, documenting, or running the RIGForge proof and verification tools.
Why use it?
It helps agents preserve the separation between building and verification, protect signature checks, and support completion claims with evidence.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is mrodgersjs-web/rigforge's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on rigforge 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 rigforge configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/smoke.sh.

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

rigforge 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 today.

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

Repository purpose

RIGForge is a deterministic agentic-engineering platform and ProofPacket engine. It turns completion claims into signed artifacts that another verifier can replay and reject when tampered with.

Work map

  • rigforge/: Python package, CLI, proof, verification, and service surfaces.
  • contracts/v1/: versioned public contracts.
  • examples/: minimal integrations and demonstrations.
  • scripts/: deterministic smoke entry point.
  • docs/: architecture, threat model, deployment, and extension guidance.
  • graft/: generated context; read when needed and leave unchanged.

Commands

Bootstrap from the repository root:

python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Test and smoke:

bash scripts/smoke.sh

Run the public tamper-detection demo:

rigforge demo

Editing rules

  • Evidence precedes completion claims. Builder and verifier remain separate roles.
  • Preserve signature checks and docs/public-boundary.md.
  • Keep secrets, PII, prospect data, and confidential client material out of the repository.
  • Prefer executable smoke coverage over aspirational README claims.
  • Always run the smoke command before claiming done.
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.
