SidewalkWebpage copilot-instructions.md

SidewalkWebpage copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from ProjectSidewalk/SidewalkWebpage. It costs 496 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Code-review instructions for Project Sidewalk, a crowdsourced map of sidewalk accessibility, with a Scala and JavaScript application backed by PostgreSQL and PostGIS.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing backend or frontend changes, especially values that must come from the backend, API data, database-backed rules, and the project’s two translation systems.
Why use it?
It tells reviewers to focus on correctness and accessibility-mapping rules while avoiding comments about formatting already checked by automated tools.

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

SidewalkWebpage 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 it actually says

Project Sidewalk — Copilot review guidance

Crowdsourced sidewalk-accessibility mapping. Backend: Scala 2.13 + Play 3.0, Slick over Postgres/PostGIS. Frontend: vanilla JS (Grunt concat, no transpile), Twirl views. Schema via Play evolutions. Two i18n systems.

Don't duplicate the linters

Formatting and mechanical style are enforced by blocking CI gates: scalafmt, ESLint, Stylelint, HTMLHint, locale key-parity. Do NOT spend review comments on formatting, whitespace, quote style, semicolons, import order, or line length. Focus on correctness, domain rules, and the conventions in the path-scoped files.

Cross-cutting rules to flag

  • Backend is the source of truth. Flag hardcoded frontend literals that mirror backend domain values: label colors/icons, enum members, value ranges (min/max), thresholds, and especially mappings between them. Colors must come from util.misc.getLabelColors(labelType); other domain values from a /v3/api/... endpoint or a controller-injected view binding — never re-declared as a JS constant. Note: severity's good/ok/bad meaning is NOT fixed (positive vs negative features invert it), so flag any {1:'good',2:'ok',3:'bad'}-style literal.
  • Comments say WHY, not WHAT. Flag comments that restate the code, and changelog/narration comments that only make sense against the diff. Tell-tale words: "used to", "previously", "formerly", "replaces the old", "renamed to/from", "no longer". Flag TODO/FIXME with no linked issue.
  • i18n: user-facing text changes need translations in all supported languages (en, es, nl, zh-TW, de, pt-BR, en-US, en-NZ). See i18n instructions. EXCEPTION: admin-only pages/routes (app/views/admin/**, /admin/*) ship English-only — do not flag missing translations there.
  • Accessibility: new/changed UI must meet WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA — flag missing alt text, unlabeled controls, non-token colors with poor contrast, keyboard traps.
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.
