Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is NiclasOlofsson/dbt-core-mcp's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on dbt-core-mcp 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 dbt-core-mcp 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

dbt-core-mcp memory.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.

Universal Laws

  1. dbt-core-mcp Pre-Commit Validation Protocol:

    • STEP 1: Before staging/committing ANY code changes, run CI validation sequence in order:
      • a) uv run ruff check src tests
      • b) uv run ruff format --check src tests
      • c) uv run pyright src tests
      • d) uv run pytest
    • STEP 2: Verify ALL steps succeed with exit code 0
    • STEP 3: If ANY step fails, fix issues and restart from STEP 1
    • STEP 4: Restore .vscode/mcp.json to original state (revert _RESTART counter changes)
      • Use git restore .vscode/mcp.json OR manually revert counter
      • NEVER commit restart counter changes - testing only
    • STEP 5: Only after all checks pass and cleanup complete, proceed with git add/commit/push
    • APPLIES TO: All code commits in dbt-core-mcp workspace
    • VIOLATION PENALTY: Immediate acknowledgment and restart with correct procedure
    • NO EXCEPTIONS
  2. Selective Testing Protocol:

    • RUN pytest to validate implementations and verify code works
    • Tests provide definitive feedback on whether changes are correct
    • Use tests during development to catch issues early
    • For targeted testing: run specific test files or functions when fixing particular issues
    • Pre-commit validation always requires full test suite (Law 1 requirement)
    • Let tests decide if implementation works rather than guessing
    • For complete validation: uv run ruff check src tests && uv run ruff format --check src tests && uv run pyright src tests && uv run pytest
    • NO EXCEPTIONS
  3. Git Commit Amendment Protocol:

    • When fixing issues in the MOST RECENT commit (before anyone else pulls):
      • Use git commit --amend --no-edit to fix without creating new commit
      • Use git push --force to rewrite remote history
      • Keeps git history clean for release notes
    • ONLY amend if commit hasn't been pulled by others
    • Examples: formatting fixes, typos, forgot to add files after initial commit
    • DO NOT create second commits for fixes to recent work (clutters release notes)
    • APPLIES TO: All git operations in dbt-core-mcp workspace
    • NO EXCEPTIONS

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.
