.github/instructions/testing.instructions.md

coograph testing.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from paullukic/coograph. It costs 397 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Test-file editing instructions that define conventions for writing and organizing tests. This entry is only a commented-out template, so it has no active rules yet.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or changing test files. First uncomment and adapt the template to your project's testing practices, or remove it if you do not need file-specific guidance.
Why use it?
It can give an agent consistent test guidance once you customize it. In its current form, it prevents relying on rules that have not been written.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

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

coograph testing.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.

What it actually says

Testing Conventions

Template guard: This file is a stub — all rules are commented out. Uncomment and customize the rules that apply to your project before relying on this file, or delete it if the project does not need per-test-file guidance. Agents loading this file while it is still stubbed should flag it to the user.

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.
