daisyui: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/code_generation_with_git.instructions.md

daisyui code_generation_with_git.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from saadeghi/daisyui. It costs 1,006 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for generating code in the saadeghi/daisyui repository using Git branches, tests, verification, and commits. Git branches are separate lines of development that keep changes isolated from the main code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during explicitly requested Git-based coding sessions to create a task branch, follow the repository’s coding and testing guidance, verify the result, and commit successful changes.
Why use it?
It defines a repeatable development loop and helps keep work organized, tested, and recorded in Git when the exact “#usegit” trigger is requested.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is saadeghi/daisyui's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on daisyui 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 daisyui configures →

About the project

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

daisyui code_generation_with_git.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 1mo 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.

Rules for using Git branches during code generation sessions

Activation

  • These rules are ONLY applied when the user explicitly says "#usegit"
  • If "#usegit" is not mentioned explicitly with the exact phrase, ignore these rules completely

Initial Setup

  • Create a new feature branch with timestamp: git checkout -b LLM/[$(date +%Y%m%d)]-[TASKNAME]
    • Replace [TASKNAME] with a short descriptive name of the task
    • Example: git checkout -b LLM/20241005-add-authentication
  • Confirm branch creation and inform user of the branch name
  • Auto-stash any uncommitted changes before starting: git stash

Development Loop

For each code change iteration, make a to do list for yourself and follow these steps:

  1. Write/modify code according to the user's requirements according to code generation instructions at .github/instructions/code_generation.instructions.md
  2. Test the code by writing test files according to testing instructions at .github/instructions/code_generation.instructions.md
  3. Verify functionality - ensure tests pass and code works as expected
  4. Stage and commit if tests pass:
    • git add -A
    • git commit -m "[descriptive message here]"
    • Use descriptive commit messages that explain what was added/changed and why
  5. Report status to user: what was changed, test results, commit hash

Error Handling

  • If tests fail, do NOT commit
  • Fix the issue and retry the loop
  • If multiple attempts fail, ask user for guidance
  • If git operations fail, report the error and ask for manual intervention

Session End

  • Ask the user for explicit order to merge #merge [commit message here]. If not received, do not merge. the user must provide a commit message in the mentioned format explicitly.
  • use the commit message provided by the user in the merge command.
  • in the description of the commit message, add the branch name of the feature branch used like "Merged changes from branch [timestamp]" without the LLM/ prefix.
  • Before merging, show commit history: git log --oneline
  • Execute merge:

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.
