SaneProcess copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from sane-apps/SaneProcess. It costs 695 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for SaneProcess, a system that coordinates rules and checks for AI-assisted software development. It covers project structure, source-of-truth files, hooks, and workflow commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying SaneProcess, checking its architecture or handoff status, working on hooks and scripts, or following its verification and release workflows.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project context and required files to consult before making substantial changes.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; reads ~/.codex paths.

This is sane-apps/SaneProcess's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on SaneProcess 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 SaneProcess configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ruby scripts/SaneMaster.rb verify.

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

SaneProcess 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 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.

SaneProcess - GitHub Copilot Instructions

Project Overview

SaneProcess is workflow enforcement for AI-assisted development across Codex, Claude Code, and compatible coding agents.

It provides:

  • Client-neutral AGENTS.md operating rules
  • Native lifecycle-hook adapters
  • Codex-compatible skills, MCP guidance, and shared runtime guards
  • SaneMaster.rb wrappers for verify, release, status, tool discovery, metrics, remote runners, and quality checks
  • SaneUI guardrails for shared settings/About/license/update surfaces

Source Of Truth

Read these before making non-trivial changes:

  1. AGENTS.md for active rules and mandatory workflows
  2. DEVELOPMENT.md for commands and definition of done
  3. ARCHITECTURE.md for system design and durable decisions
  4. SESSION_HANDOFF.md for current status when it exists

Use CLAUDE.md only for Claude-specific overlay behavior. Do not put general policy only in Claude files.

Rules For Changes

  • Use plain English in docs.
  • Prefer updating existing docs/scripts over creating new parallel files.
  • Use SaneMaster.rb wrappers for stateful workflows instead of raw command chains.
  • Do not claim done without running the relevant verification or explicitly saying what was not run.
  • Keep SaneProcess agent-neutral unless a section is explicitly about one client.
  • Preserve public safety: no secrets, private contact details, local-only state, or generated runtime caches in tracked files.

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.
