mcpick copilot-instructions.md

mcpick copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from spences10/mcpick. It costs 224 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for MCPick, a vendor-neutral manager for MCP server settings with support for Claude Code. MCP is a standard way for AI assistants to connect to external tools and services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing dependencies, running checks, tests, and builds, designing agent-friendly command-line flows, and recording user-facing changes.
Why use it?
They keep general MCP behavior separate from Claude-specific features and require automated checks before changes are finished.

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

mcpick 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 4d 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

MCPick Development Instructions

Project shape

MCPick is a vendor-neutral MCP configuration manager with first-class Claude Code support.

  • Keep MCP server functionality client-neutral where possible.
  • Keep Claude Code plugins, hooks, marketplaces, and cache commands clearly Claude-specific.
  • Prefer CLI flows that work well for LLM agents: non-interactive flags, --json, useful help text, and redacted output.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js >=22.0.0
  • pnpm

Common commands

pnpm install
pnpm test
pnpm run check
pnpm build

Validation before finishing

Always run:

pnpm run check
pnpm test
pnpm build

pnpm run check validates formatting, lint, and types through vite-plus.

Changesets

For user-facing changes, add a changeset:

pnpm changeset

Use a short message prefixed with feat, fix, chore, or breaking.

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.
