.github/copilot-instructions.md

gitstandup copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from muba00/gitstandup. It costs 562 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-specific instruction set for GitStandup, an MCP server that collects Git commits from several repositories and turns them into daily standup notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It describes the TypeScript server, Git collection, repository configuration, and tools for generating standup summaries from recent commits.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project context needed to maintain the server and its configuration consistently.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is muba00/gitstandup's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on gitstandup 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 gitstandup configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node build/index.js.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to muba00/gitstandup. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

gitstandup 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 2mo 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.

GitStandup MCP Server

MCP server for generating daily standup notes from git commits across multiple repositories.

Project Status

  • Create project structure and copilot instructions
  • Get MCP project setup information
  • Scaffold MCP server project
  • Implement git operations module
  • Implement config management
  • Implement MCP tools
  • Test and verify the MCP server

Project Details

  • Type: MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server
  • Language: TypeScript
  • Purpose: Collect git commits from multiple repos and generate standup summaries via AI
  • Config Storage: ~/.gitstandup/config.json

Implementation Complete

The GitStandup MCP server is now fully implemented with the following features:

Core Functionality

  • Git Operations (src/git.ts): Collects commits from repositories, filters by current user, includes diffs with smart truncation
  • Config Management (src/config.ts): Persists repository paths in ~/.gitstandup/config.json
  • MCP Server (src/index.ts): Exposes 4 tools via Model Context Protocol

Available MCP Tools

  1. generate_standup: Generates standup notes from configured repos

    • Optional hours parameter (default: 24)
    • Optional repos array to override configured repos
    • Returns structured data with commits, diffs, and summary
  2. add_repos: Add repository paths to configuration

    • Accepts array of absolute paths
    • Persists to ~/.gitstandup/config.json
  3. list_repos: List currently configured repositories

    • No parameters
    • Returns array of configured repo paths
  4. remove_repos: Remove repositories from configuration

    • Accepts array of paths to remove
    • Updates ~/.gitstandup/config.json

Smart Features

  • Filters commits by current git user (per repo)
  • Truncates large diffs (500 lines per file, 2000 per commit)
  • Skips generated files (lock files, minified files)
  • Graceful error handling for invalid repos
  • Parallel processing of multiple repositories

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.
