Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is ptonlix/beeweave's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on beeweave itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything beeweave configures →

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

beeweave 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 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.

BeeWeave — Copilot Context

BeeWeave is an agent-native creation workbench for building a creative data flywheel: collect source material, create with agents, distill durable knowledge, reuse that knowledge as context, then collect better material for the next loop.

This repository contains the Python CLI, bundled skills, bootstrap templates, browser extension assets, tests, and documentation used to install and maintain BeeWeave workspaces.

Project Overview

  • Purpose: Help agents and humans move material through a structured loop: collect -> create -> distill -> reuse context -> collect better.
  • Runtime model: workbench/ is the staging and drafting area; vault/ is the compiled markdown knowledge base.
  • CLI: The public console command is bwe.
  • Package: Python package code lives under beeweave/; package metadata and the CLI entrypoint live in pyproject.toml.
  • Skills: Source skills live under .skills/wiki/ and .skills/workbench/. Each skill folder uses a SKILL.md workflow file.
  • Bootstrap: Agent-facing setup templates live under bootstrap/.
  • Extension: Browser capture assets live under extensions/brain-capture/.

Key Concepts

  • BeeWeave is a loop, not a one-way archive.
  • Raw inputs, drafts, captures, web clips, and source libraries belong in workbench/.
  • Stable reusable knowledge belongs in vault/ as markdown with metadata and Obsidian-style [[wikilinks]].
  • The vault is a compiled artifact: concepts, entities, references, project notes, synthesis pages, and graph-ready relationships distilled from higher signal material.
  • Setup-generated runtime vault/ and workbench/ directories should not be committed to this repository.

Runtime Layout

BeeWeave setup creates this structure inside a user-selected workspace:

project/
+-- vault/                  # durable markdown knowledge
|   +-- concepts/
|   +-- entities/

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.
