Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00559 | $0.00559 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00280 | $0.00280 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00112 | $0.00112 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00056 | $0.00056 |
Grade A, and why
DecompilerServer 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 2d 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.

Repository-Specific Rules
- MCP tools live as static methods under
Tools/. - Tools should return via
ResponseFormatter.TryExecute(...). - Discovery/search tools should route with
using var session = ToolSessionRouter.GetForContext(...). memberIdfollow-up tools should route withusing var session = ToolSessionRouter.GetForMember(...).- Reuse
TypeSurfaceComparerfor type-surface semantics instead of duplicating compare logic. - Use
DecompilerService.DecompileEntitySnippet(...)for focused compare body retrieval. - Prefer structured JSON output over pre-rendered diff text for overview commands.
- For unknown foreign code, start with
search_symbolsfor fragments. For fully-qualified or XML-doc-like guessed symbols, start withresolve_member_idso structuredmember_not_founddiagnostics can resolve the type and suggest candidates. - After a type resolves, use
list_members/get_members_of_type, then source or caller/callee tools. Do not fall back to shell scans after one bad member guess unless MCP diagnostics are exhausted.
Workspace and Compare Expectations
- Assume multi-context workspace support is the primary model.
- Preserve stable member ID format:
<mvid-32hex>:<token-8hex>:<kind-code>. compare_contextsis structural.changedmeans direct member surface changed.compare_symbols(compareMode: "body")is method-only and should stay opt-in.- Do not broaden compare semantics casually; update
ARCHITECTURE.mdif a durable contract changes.
Testing
- Use xUnit and real compiled test assemblies.
Tests/ServiceTestBase.csis the base fixture for service-level tests.- Add dedicated
*ToolTests.csfiles for MCP tool behavior. - Use
Tests/TemporaryAssemblyBuilder.csfor controlled version-drift and compare tests. - When tests need workspace-aware behavior, register
DecompilerWorkspacein the test service provider.
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.

DecompilerServer copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository pardeike/DecompilerServer (93 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 559 tokens to every session, about $0.0028 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
