agent-policykit: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

agent-policykit copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from sidrat2612/agent-policykit. It costs 5,039 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file that defines which documents and design board contain the authoritative product information, along with the project’s technology stack and governance rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guiding work on a student life-path platform built with Next.js, React Native, Expo, NestJS, PostgreSQL, and Redis.
Why use it?
It prevents the coding agent from guessing product details when the project documentation or Miro board does not provide them.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is sidrat2612/agent-policykit's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on agent-policykit 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 agent-policykit 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

agent-policykit 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 524 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Source of Truth

The Miro board is the single source of truth for all product, design, and architecture decisions:

  • Board URL: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVHSJQ-Eg=/
  • Never guess or assume project-specific details (features, specs, data, numbers, flows, designs)
  • Check the extracted docs first in docs/ before answering questions about the product
  • If the required information is missing, ambiguous, or not covered in docs/, then check the Miro board using MCP tools (context_explore, context_get, table_list_rows)
  • If the information is not present on the Miro board, ask the user — do not fabricate or approximate

Project Context

  • Platform: Life-Path Mapping Platform for Indian students (14–24)
  • Stack: Next.js (web), React Native + Expo (mobile), NestJS (backend), PostgreSQL, Redis
  • Docs folder: docs/ contains extracted specs from Miro (numbered 01–21)
  • Treat student data and any under-18 user flows as high-scrutiny from a privacy, consent, retention, and access-control perspective

Theme Governance

  • The finalized Professional Growth Palette is the source of truth for all visual theme work across the website, webapp frontend, and mobile frontend.
  • Theme tokens must be maintained centrally. Do not define brand, track, semantic, or status colors inside individual pages or components.
  • Website theme sources must remain centralized in the shared website theme files and token roots.
  • Webapp frontend theme sources must remain centralized in the shared webapp theme files and token roots.
  • Mobile frontend theme sources must follow the same rule: maintain one central theme source and consume it everywhere.
  • If a new visual state or color is needed, add it to the central theme first, then consume that token in pages and components.
  • Avoid hardcoded hex values and ad hoc Tailwind utility colors for brand or semantic styling when a centralized token should exist.

Engineering Governance Standard

These instructions govern code generation, refactoring, reviews, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, prompts, queries, architecture proposals, and other AI-assisted engineering work in this repository.

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.
