ai-agents generated-artifacts.instructions.md

ai-agents generated-artifacts.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from rjmurillo/ai-agents. It costs 2,826 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for testing generated files as they will behave in the customer-facing tool, not only checking their format or contents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building and validating plugin artifacts, hooks, launchers, and other generated files before release.
Why use it?
They prevent generated launchers and hooks from breaking after installation because of incorrect working-directory or runtime assumptions.

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

ai-agents generated-artifacts.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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Customer-Facing Generated Artifacts

This rule exists because of a P0 incident. A generator produced the Copilot CLI plugin's hooks.json with a bare ./hooks/... command path and explicit cwd: ".". Copilot CLI 1.0.57 resolved that path from the user's working directory, not the plugin install directory, so every hook failed at launch with "No such file or directory". The failure happened before any in-script handler could run. The only recovery was to uninstall the plugin. The broken form shipped for 33 days across six releases (v0.3.0 to v0.5.6). See .agents/retrospective/2026-06-02-pr-2205-customer-wedge-incident.md.

Current official docs define hook cwd relative to the repository root or as an absolute path. The Copilot CLI changelog documents plugin-root variables. The historical incident still controls our design: generated launchers anchor plugin files explicitly and never depend on ambient cwd.

The root cause was not the wrong path. It was that a customer-facing artifact shipped without ever being executed in its target runtime. Every test validated the artifact's structure (valid JSON, correct fields). None ran the artifact under the real runtime contract.

This rule binds any generator that emits an artifact installed into a customer's environment: plugin manifests and hooks.json, copied hook scripts, agent and skill files a CLI loads, MCP configs, instruction mirrors. It does not bind artifacts consumed only inside this repo's own CI.

The paths globs target every authoring, generated, and verification surface: agents, skills, commands, prompts, rules, hooks, templates, generators, plugin trees, and runtime-contract tests. This ensures future work loads the settled harness contract before changing any artifact class.

The runtime contract is part of the artifact

Every customer-facing artifact depends on a runtime contract: the working directory the host sets, the environment variables it exports, the process model (shell, interpreter on PATH), and the target tool and version. That contract is as load-bearing as the artifact's bytes.

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.
