finfocus build-artifacts.instructions.md

A set of rules for build artifacts and dependencies, including vendor folders, Git metadata, compiled programs, and shared libraries. These are generated or externally managed files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify paths that should be treated as read-only and excluded from code changes, analysis, reviews, and commits.
Why use it?
It helps keep reviews and edits focused on source files instead of files that should be managed by Go modules, Git, or build pipelines.

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

finfocus build-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 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

Build Artifacts and Dependencies Instructions

This covers build artifacts, dependencies, and version control files that should not be modified or analyzed.

Excluded paths:

  • **/vendor/** - Go vendor directory
  • **/.git/** - Git repository metadata
  • **/*.exe - Windows executables
  • **/*.dll - Windows dynamic libraries
  • **/*.so - Linux shared objects
  • **/*.dylib - macOS dynamic libraries

Guidelines:

  • Do not modify any files in these locations
  • Do not analyze or review code in these directories
  • Do not reference files from these locations
  • Do not commit changes to these files

Purpose:

  • Third-party dependencies (vendor/)
  • Version control metadata (.git/)
  • Compiled binaries and libraries
  • Platform-specific executables

When working with these files:

  • Treat as generated/readonly
  • Dependencies are managed by go mod
  • Binaries are built by CI/CD pipelines
  • Git operations handle .git directory automatically
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.
