vibe-garden copilot-instructions.md

vibe-garden copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from rjroy/vibe-garden. It costs 476 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Code-review instructions for GitHub Copilot that define when to report a problem, how to format a comment, and which correct code patterns or style issues to leave alone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to review Python code with a confidence threshold, explain each reported problem briefly, and suggest a fix with code when appropriate.
Why use it?
They reduce uncertain or redundant review comments and keep feedback focused on likely defects rather than formatting or personal preferences.

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

vibe-garden 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 6d 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.

Copilot Code Review Instructions

Confidence Threshold

Only comment when confidence exceeds 80%. If you are uncertain whether something is an issue, do not comment.

Response Format

  • Problem statement (one sentence)
  • Why it matters (one sentence)
  • Suggested fix with code snippet (if applicable)

Be concise. One sentence per comment when possible.

Do NOT Comment On

Language Semantics You Frequently Misread

  • Python conditional expressions (x if condition else y evaluates condition first)
  • Python's zip(strict=True) already validates length; don't suggest redundant checks
  • Truthiness checks in conditional expressions happen before the truthy branch executes

Redundant Suggestions

  • Adding validation before built-in safety mechanisms
  • Explicit checks that duplicate what a parameter/flag already does
  • Error handling for conditions that cannot occur by construction

Style and Formatting

  • These are handled by ruff (Python)
  • Do not comment on import ordering, line length, or formatting

Preference Items

  • Parameter tuning suggestions that are subjective, not defects
  • "Consider using X instead of Y" when both are valid approaches
  • Refactoring suggestions not related to correctness

Documentation

  • Missing docstrings or type hints (unless obviously wrong)
  • Comments that restate what code already expresses

DO Comment On

Security (High Priority)

  • Injection risks (SQL, command, template)
  • Credential exposure or hardcoded secrets
  • Missing input validation at system boundaries
  • Unsafe deserialization

Correctness (High Priority)

  • Logic errors with clear evidence
  • Race conditions
  • Resource leaks (unclosed files, connections)
  • Off-by-one errors
  • Null/None dereference risks

Error Handling

  • Missing error handling at external boundaries (API calls, file I/O)
  • Swallowed exceptions that hide failures
  • Error messages that leak sensitive information

Architecture

  • Code that violates patterns established elsewhere in the codebase
  • Breaking changes to public APIs without deprecation

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.
