fmtly: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

fmtly copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from oguzhankir/fmtly. It costs 1,066 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for fmtly, a browser-based toolset for formatting, checking, converting, and comparing structured data such as JSON, XML, YAML, CSV, and TOML.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or changing fmtly, especially when adding data-format tools, updating its tool registry, or working within its SvelteKit and Cloudflare setup.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project’s intended design, technology choices, and rules for adding tools. This helps prevent changes that conflict with the existing architecture or send user data to a server.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is oguzhankir/fmtly's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on fmtly 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 fmtly 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

fmtly 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.

fmtly — Windsurf Rules

Read this file entirely before writing any code.


The Vision

Format, validate, convert, and diff structured data. No login. No server. Instant.

fmtly is not just a random collection of utilities. It is a deep, focused platform for structured data formats (JSON, XML, YAML, CSV, TOML), with a visionary roadmap to expand into AI/LLM toolchains, encoders, code formatters, and more.

The Golden Rule: Every tool runs in the browser. No user data ever touches a server. Exception: Network tools (IP lookup, DNS, etc.) proxy through a minimal Cloudflare Worker without logging.


Stack

  • SvelteKit 2 + TypeScript 5 + Tailwind CSS 4
  • Cloudflare Pages (static) + Cloudflare Workers (network proxy only)
  • Package manager: pnpm — never npm, never yarn
  • Adapter: @sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare

Architecture Rules

Tool Registry

Every tool is a config object in src/lib/registry/tools/[category].tools.ts. Never create a route file for a tool — register it, the page generates itself.

Category-Based Structure

When adding new tools or categories, strictly adhere to the category-based folder structure:

  • Registry: src/lib/registry/tools/[category].tools.ts
  • Engines: src/lib/engines/[category]/ (include an index.ts barrel file)
  • Panels: src/lib/components/panels/[category]/
  • Tests: tests/unit/[category]/
  • Stores: src/lib/stores/[category].store.ts (if state is required)
  • Locales: src/lib/i18n/registry/[lang].ts

Never put category-specific logic in shared directories.

Lazy Loading — No Exceptions

Every processing library uses dynamic import(). Never at top level. This applies to: ajv, js-yaml, fast-xml-parser, smol-toml, @wasm-fmt/taplo_fmt, Monaco Editor, etc. If it processes data → dynamic import.

No Backend for User Data

Permitted server-side code only:

  • +page.ts load functions (read registry)
  • /sitemap.xml/+server.ts (build time only)

Static Output Only

No Node.js APIs in browser code (fs, path, crypto module — use Web Crypto API). No env vars in browser except PUBLIC_ prefix. Never delete static/_headers, static/_redirects, static/_routes.json.

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.
