unraid-management-agent: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/controllers.instructions.md

unraid-management-agent controllers.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from ruaan-deysel/unraid-management-agent. It costs 366 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Coding instructions for controller code in an Unraid management agent. They require each operation to check its input, run the action safely, and return the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or changing controllers for Docker containers, virtual machines, storage arrays, or similar Unraid operations.
Why use it?
They reduce mistakes when code handles shell commands or user-supplied names and paths. They also keep new controllers consistent with existing ones.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is ruaan-deysel/unraid-management-agent's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on unraid-management-agent itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything unraid-management-agent configures →

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

unraid-management-agent controllers.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 8d 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

Controller Instructions

Reference: AGENTS.md for full project context.

Pattern: Validate-Execute-Return

Every controller operation follows this pattern:

func (c *Controller) Action(input string) error {
    // 1. Validate input
    if err := lib.ValidateInput(input); err != nil {
        return err
    }
    // 2. Execute operation
    _, err := lib.ExecCommand(constants.SomeBin, "action", input)
    // 3. Return result
    return err
}

Shell Command Safety

  • Always use lib.ExecCommand() or lib.ExecCommandOutput() from daemon/lib/shell.go
  • Never use exec.Command directly
  • Never interpolate user input into shell command strings

Input Validation

Use the appropriate validation function from daemon/lib/validation.go:

Function Use For
ValidateContainerID() Docker container IDs
ValidateVMName() VM names
ValidateShareName() Share names
ValidateConfigPath() File paths
ValidateNotificationFilename() Notification filenames

Existing Controllers

  • docker.go — Container start/stop/restart/pause/unpause
  • vm.go — VM start/stop/restart/pause/resume/hibernate
  • array.go — Array start/stop, parity check
  • notification.go — Notification create/archive/delete
  • plugin.go — Plugin management
  • process.go — Process management
  • service.go — Service management
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.
