XActions: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

xspace-agents/.github/instructions/cli.instructions.md

XActions cli.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from nirholas/XActions. It costs 270 tokens per session, scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

Editing guidance for the XActions command-line tool, which lets developers control the project from a terminal. It covers commands, configuration, prompts, logging, and credential handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding CLI commands, changing setup or authentication, loading configuration, handling flags and environment variables, or adjusting terminal output.
Why use it?
It keeps command behavior predictable and prevents configuration files containing credentials from being written with overly broad access.

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 B, and why

XActions cli.instructions.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

What it actually says

CLI Package (packages/cli/)

Published as @xspace/cli. See packages/cli/CLAUDE.md for the module map.

Commands

  • init — Setup wizard → writes xspace.config.json (chmod 600)
  • auth — Save X credentials to .env
  • join <url> — Join an X Space with provider flags
  • start — Start server with admin panel
  • dashboard — Standalone dashboard server

Patterns

  • Config precedence: CLI flags > config file > env vars > defaults
  • Config validation: Zod schemas in src/config.ts
  • Interactive prompts: Inquirer in src/prompts.ts
  • Logging: Colored console with verbose/quiet modes in src/logger.ts
  • Path resolution: Walks up from __dirname looking for .git in src/paths.ts

Rules

  • New commands go in src/commands/ using Commander.js
  • Config files must be written with restrictive permissions (chmod 600) when containing credentials
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.
