openevse_esp32_firmware: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

openevse_esp32_firmware copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from OpenEVSE/openevse_esp32_firmware. It costs 414 tokens per session, scanned A, original, no licence file.

A set of coding-agent instructions for the OpenEVSE ESP32 firmware project. Firmware is software built into hardware, and the ESP32 is a type of microcontroller used to control electronic devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the OpenEVSE ESP32 firmware, especially during project setup, builds, and validation. The instructions direct the agent to the repository's AGENTS.md file.
Why use it?
It points the agent to the project's main guidance file and its required build and validation process. This helps changes follow the repository's expected checks.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is OpenEVSE/openevse_esp32_firmware's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on openevse_esp32_firmware 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 openevse_esp32_firmware configures →

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to OpenEVSE/openevse_esp32_firmware. 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

openevse_esp32_firmware 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 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.

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 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.
