agent-ebpf: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

v2/.github/instructions/skill-usage-insights.instructions.md

skill-usage-insights is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from ourobx/agent-ebpf. It costs 1,570 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

A project report that examines recorded add-on runs and the add-ons installed in the project. It shows which ones are used, reliable, failing, or unused.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review run counts, failures, timings, user feedback, and suggestions for improving the installed add-ons.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with evidence when deciding which add-ons to keep, fix, or remove. If no run history exists, it clearly says that usage cannot yet be measured.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is ourobx/agent-ebpf's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on agent-ebpf 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 agent-ebpf 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 C, and why

skill-usage-insights scanned grade C 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 1mo 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Skill Usage Insights

Turn .claude/learning/runs.jsonl (the [[self-learning]] run log) and the contents of .claude/skills/ into a per-skill usage/KPI report, with add/remove recommendations.

1. Gather inputs

  • .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md — skills currently installed in this project (one directory per skill).
  • .claude/learning/runs.jsonl — append-only JSON-lines log; each line: {"ts": ..., "skill": ..., "action": ..., "rc": 0|nonzero, "duration": ..., "error": "", "hint": "", "note": ""}. If this file doesn't exist, say so plainly — there's no usage history yet, not an error. Recommendations in that case are limited to "not yet measurable; check back after the self-learning skill has recorded some runs".
  • .claude/learning/skill-feedback.jsonl — user negative reactions per skill (written by [[skill-feedback-adaptation]]). Use for inefficiency % and update suggestions alongside run-based KPIs.
  • Optionally, .claude/learning/task-skill-proposals.json — latest task-scoped skill proposals (also from [[skill-feedback-adaptation]]).
  • Optionally, the library's manifest.json (wherever the skill library lives, e.g. ~/.claude/skills/ or a synced skills_library/) — useful to see a skill's detect_globs/description when judging relevance.

2. Aggregate per skill

For each installed skill name, and for each distinct skill value in runs.jsonl that matches an installed skill name:

  • runs — count of matching records.
  • success_rate — rc == 0 count / runs (as a percentage).
  • avg_duration — mean of duration across records that have it.
  • last_used — max ts; days_since_last_use — days between that and now.
  • Per agent — when agent is set on a row (claude, cursor, kiro, copilot), group invocations by agent. The VS Code Usage Report shows a Skill usage by agent section and a matrix for skills used by more than one agent on the same workspace (common when switching between Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro, and Copilot on one task). Rows without agent count as Claude.
  • Records whose skill value doesn't match any installed skill name are general task-tracking entries (per [[self-learning]]'s schema) — ignore them for this report, but you may mention the count as "N other tracked task runs not tied to a specific skill".

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.
