SidewalkWebpage: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/frontend-js.instructions.md

SidewalkWebpage frontend-js.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from ProjectSidewalk/SidewalkWebpage. It costs 432 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Code-review instructions for the JavaScript frontend of Project Sidewalk, a web project. They define preferred modern JavaScript patterns, localization, API-driven values, scalable interface dimensions, and documentation rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to review frontend changes for modern syntax, correct API usage, translated interface text, responsive scaling, and required documentation.
Why use it?
They give reviews consistent project-specific checks instead of relying only on general JavaScript style advice.

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 frontend-js.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 23d 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

Frontend JS review (ES2022 target)

  • Flag var (use const/let) and string + concatenation for HTML (use template literals). Prefer arrow functions in callbacks to keep this bound.
  • The constructor-function pattern (function Foo(){ const self=this; ...; return self }) should be a class with #private fields. Flag new code using it.
  • No hardcoded domain values (see repo-wide rule): use util.misc.getLabelColors(labelType) and util.misc.getIconImagePaths(labelType); source enum members, ranges, and mappings from /v3/api/... or a view binding. Flag any {1:'good',2:'ok',3:'bad'}-style severity map, and any label_type_icons/*.png path — the frontend uses the scalable _small.svg marker only.
  • No hardcoded /assets/... URLs. Name the asset by its logical path under public/ and resolve it with util.assetPath('images/icons/openhand.cur'), so staged builds serve the content-fingerprinted, year-cached copy. Build the whole path before resolving a dynamic one; never concatenate onto a resolved URL or keep a base directory, which can't be fingerprinted. make lint-asset-paths enforces this.
  • Tool UI scaling: in Explore, Validate, and overlays layered over them, every fixed px dimension set from JS must be calc(<n>px * var(--ui-scale, 1)). Flag bare px. (Fixed page chrome like the navbar is exempt.)
  • JSDoc on every class and non-trivial method (including #private); use @returns (not @return) with a {Type}.
  • Prefer data-i18n="ns:key" over hardcoded English strings in generated HTML.
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.
