rebar copilot-instructions.md

rebar copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from navapbc/rebar. It costs 397 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guidance file that directs GitHub Copilot and other coding assistants to the repository's main AGENTS.md instructions. It explains the project's ticket process, code-navigation rules, file-size limits, and Gerrit-based contribution process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the entry point for repository work involving ticket claiming, parallel-agent coordination, code editing rules, and submitting changes through Gerrit.
Why use it?
It keeps different coding-assistant interfaces aligned with the same repository rules instead of using separate or outdated instructions.

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

rebar 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 5d 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

rebar — GitHub Copilot entry point

The canonical agent & contributor guidance for this repo lives in AGENTS.md at the repository root. GitHub Copilot's coding agent already reads AGENTS.md natively, exactly as Codex does (see AGENTS.md's own note on this); this file exists so that other Copilot surfaces — Copilot Chat and the Copilot CLI running in this checkout — are pointed at that same canonical source instead of drifting from it, mirroring the bridge CLAUDE.md provides for Claude Code via its @AGENTS.md import.

Read and follow AGENTS.md in full before doing any work in this repository. It covers, among other things:

  • Recording work in rebar tickets (not scratch notes), and claiming a ticket before touching code.

  • The parallel-agent ticket workflow (list/searchready/next-batchclaim → work → transition closed).

  • The module-size policy and code-navigation tooling (Serena vs. grep) for editing rebar itself.

  • The Gerrit-based git workflow for landing changes — main is not merged via GitHub PRs; changes go through git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/main and require LLM-Review +1 and Verified +1 before Submit.

  • Pointers into docs/ for ticket model, gate protocols, MCP tools, concurrency, and more.

  • Put anything all harnesses need in AGENTS.md, not here.

  • Keep any genuinely Copilot-specific instructions in this file, below this note.

  • Do not duplicate AGENTS.md content here beyond this summary — if the two ever diverge, AGENTS.md is authoritative.

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.
