kubespy copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from pulumi/kubespy. It costs 1,506 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for kubespy, a Go command-line tool that watches Kubernetes resources and reports their state over time. They cover setup, building, installing, testing, and linting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing kubespy, preparing its dependencies, compiling or installing it, or running its tests and checks.
Why use it?
They provide the repository's required commands and working conventions, reducing guesswork when changing or checking the tool.

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

kubespy 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.

kubespy: Kubernetes Resource Observer

kubespy is a Go-based command-line tool for observing Kubernetes resources in real time. It watches and reports information about Kubernetes resources continuously, derived from work done to make Kubernetes deployments predictable in Pulumi's CLI.

Always reference these instructions first and fallback to search or bash commands only when you encounter unexpected information that does not match the info here.

Working Effectively

Bootstrap and Build

  • ALWAYS run dependency management first:
    • make ensure -- downloads dependencies (first time ~25 seconds, subsequent runs <1 second). NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 5+ minutes for first run.
  • Build the application:
    • make build -- builds the kubespy binary (first time ~1 minute 20 seconds, subsequent builds ~5-6 seconds). NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 3+ minutes.
  • Install the application:
    • make install -- installs to $GOPATH/bin, takes ~5 seconds.

Testing

  • Run tests:
    • make test_all -- runs all tests (takes ~13 seconds first time, <1 second subsequent runs). NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 2+ minutes.
    • NOTE: This project has no actual test files (0% coverage), tests complete quickly but don't validate functionality.

Linting

  • Linting is broken in this repository due to deprecated linters in .golangci.yml
  • make lint -- FAILS due to deprecated linters (deadcode, golint, interfacer, structcheck, varcheck) and Go version compatibility issues
  • DO NOT attempt to fix the linting configuration unless specifically asked to address linting issues
  • The CI pipeline (.github/workflows/ci.yml) does NOT run linting, only build and test

Running kubespy

  • ALWAYS build the application first with make build
  • Basic commands:
    • ./kubespy --help -- shows available commands
    • ./kubespy version -- shows version (returns "dev" for local builds)
    • ./kubespy status --help -- help for status watching
    • ./kubespy trace --help -- help for resource tracing
    • ./kubespy changes --help -- help for change monitoring
    • ./kubespy record --help -- help for event recording

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.
