quantflow: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/bibliography.instructions.md

quantflow-bibliography-instructions is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from quantmind/quantflow. It costs 157 tokens per session, scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

Project instructions for maintaining a bibliography, a list of sources used in the Quantflow documentation. The source file is BibTeX, a standard format for storing academic references, and a Markdown list is generated from it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or changing references: edit the BibTeX file and regenerate the Markdown bibliography with the project command.
Why use it?
They keep references alphabetized and prevent the generated bibliography from becoming out of sync with the source file.

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

quantflow-bibliography-instructions 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

Instructions for updating the bibliography for quantflow:

  • The bibliography for quantflow is maintained in docs/references.bib
  • Each entry must be added in alphabetical order of the label (the part after the first { in the bib entry).
  • Regenerate the markdown file docs/bibliography.md from the bib file using the
    make docs-bib
    
  • Run this command every time you update the bib file to keep the markdown file in sync
  • Do not edit docs/bibliography.md directly as it is generated from docs/references.bib.
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.
