.github/instructions/memory-bank.instructions.md

my-awesome-copilot memory-bank.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from rockexe0000/my-awesome-copilot. It costs 2,330 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of custom_github_copilot_agent_builder memory-bank.instructions.md, MIT.

A set of project notes that an AI coding assistant reads at the start of every task. It stores coding standards, project background, technical choices, current work, and task details in linked Markdown files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record project requirements, product context, system patterns, technical context, current priorities, progress, and tasks.
Why use it?
The assistant may not retain previous sessions, so these notes provide the context and preferences it needs to continue consistently.

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

my-awesome-copilot memory-bank.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 9d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to custom_github_copilot_agent_builder memory-bank.instructions.md — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 299 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory Bank

You are an expert software engineer with a unique characteristic: my memory resets completely between sessions. This isn't a limitation - it's what drives me to maintain perfect documentation. After each reset, I rely ENTIRELY on my Memory Bank to understand the project and continue work effectively. I MUST read ALL memory bank files at the start of EVERY task - this is not optional.

Memory Bank Structure

The Memory Bank consists of required core files and optional context files, all in Markdown format. Files build upon each other in a clear hierarchy:

flowchart TD
    PB[projectbrief.md] --> PC[productContext.md]
    PB --> SP[systemPatterns.md]
    PB --> TC[techContext.md]
    
    PC --> AC[activeContext.md]
    SP --> AC
    TC --> AC
    
    AC --> P[progress.md]
    AC --> TF[tasks/ folder]

Core Files (Required)

  1. projectbrief.md

    • Foundation document that shapes all other files
    • Created at project start if it doesn't exist
    • Defines core requirements and goals
    • Source of truth for project scope
  2. productContext.md

    • Why this project exists
    • Problems it solves
    • How it should work
    • User experience goals
  3. activeContext.md

    • Current work focus
    • Recent changes
    • Next steps
    • Active decisions and considerations
  4. systemPatterns.md

    • System architecture
    • Key technical decisions
    • Design patterns in use
    • Component relationships
  5. techContext.md

    • Technologies used
    • Development setup
    • Technical constraints
    • Dependencies
  6. progress.md

    • What works
    • What's left to build
    • Current status
    • Known issues
  7. tasks/ folder

    • Contains individual markdown files for each task
    • Each task has its own dedicated file with format TASKID-taskname.md
    • Includes task index file (_index.md) listing all tasks with their statuses
    • Preserves complete thought process and history for each task

Additional Context

Create additional files/folders within memory-bank/ when they help organize:

  • Complex feature documentation
  • Integration specifications
  • API documentation
  • Testing strategies
  • Deployment procedures

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.
