notebooklm-mcp-cli copilot-instructions.md

Instructions for GitHub Copilot when working on the NotebookLM MCP CLI project. They require loading the project's standards files before work and keeping session and backlog records updated afterward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to guide Copilot before coding, follow the project's required file-loading order, format versions correctly, and update session and backlog notes.
Why use it?
They provide a fixed starting procedure and project record-keeping rules, while warning against storing credentials or sensitive health information in those files.

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

notebooklm-mcp-cli 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Copilot Instructions

Read ai/STANDARDS.md and load all files in the order it specifies before beginning any work. Do not start coding, planning, or responding until the full load order is complete.

This project uses version format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.YYYYMMDD.HHMM Example: 1.0.0.20260406.1200

At the end of every session, update ai/SESSION.md and ai/BACKLOG.md. Never store credentials, secrets, or PHI in any ai/ file.

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.
