In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing pull requests for the sbroenne/mcp-server-powerpoint project, especially code that uses PowerPoint's COM interface or manages sessions and processes.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers focus on real defects such as data loss, leaked resources, deadlocks, broken interfaces, and security problems instead of style or speculation.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is sbroenne/mcp-server-powerpoint's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on mcp-server-powerpoint 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 mcp-server-powerpoint 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

mcp-server-powerpoint code-review.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 2mo 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.

Copilot Code Review

Report only actionable, high-confidence defects introduced by the pull request. Prioritize correctness, data loss, resource leaks, deadlocks, broken contracts, and security. Do not request style-only changes, speculative refactors, or unrelated cleanup.

Interop and Resource Safety

  • Enforce PIA-first access across Core and ComInterop. Flag new dynamic PowerPoint access when Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint exposes a typed member. Allow late binding only when a concise comment identifies the missing PIA surface and a real-PowerPoint test covers it.
  • Verify every acquired COM object is released in a finally block. Cleanup must target tracked PID-plus-start-time identities, never a process name or window-title substring.
  • Do not treat a generic HRESULT as proof of one specific cause without another distinguishing check. Do not add catch-all blocks inside Core commands; unexpected failures must propagate through batch.Execute to the MCP boundary.
  • Verify counters, flags, locks, and session state are restored on every exit path. A timeout or connection failure must not become an empty successful result or strand PowerPoint.

Contract and Path Completeness

  • Trace action and parameter changes through the Core interface, generated service dispatch, CLI routing, MCP schema, help, skills, and both entry points. Names, types, aliases, defaults, validation, and timeout behavior must agree. Unknown values must fail rather than select a default.
  • When a change adds a dependency, response field, wait, lock, or synchronization path, verify the corresponding existence guard, integrity check, return-value check, timeout, and round-trip assertion.
  • If one generated, templated, or intentionally parallel artifact changes, verify its source of truth and counterparts change consistently. Flag copied logic and checks that compare generated output against the same stale fallback used to produce it.

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.
