Instructions for an MCP server that gives coding agents context from a GitHub repository's past pull-request reviews. Pull requests are proposed code changes submitted for review before they are merged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to index repositories, search historical review comments by meaning, review code against past feedback, generate code in the team's style, and inspect recurring review patterns.
Why use it?
It helps suggestions and reviews reflect the team's existing decisions and standards instead of relying only on generic advice. It also describes how to prepare and manage the repository index used for this context.

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

github-pr-context-mcp copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ€” 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.

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.

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.
