skills: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

skills copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from The-Utopia-Studio/skills. It costs 168 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for an AI assistant working with The Utopia Studio's design system, a shared library of interface components and visual rules. They describe which commands and design resources to check before changing a user interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building or editing Utopia Studio interfaces, especially themed, animated, Arabic, or right-to-left screens.
Why use it?
They help prevent made-up components, settings, imports, design tokens, or Arabic and right-to-left behaviour. They also add a final design-system check before handoff.

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

skills 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.

What it actually says

Ceramic Design System agent rules

  1. Run npm run ceramic -- manifest --json before generating UI.
  2. Run npm run ceramic -- search <intent> --json, then inspect the selected component or template.
  3. Prefer @utopia-studio-design/design-system exports over raw shadcn/ui source.
  4. Components consume semantic tokens only. The active theme is utopia-default.
  5. Request semantic motion only; inspect npm run ceramic -- motion ceremonial --json before choosing an application runtime adapter.
  6. Read npm run ceramic -- docs arabic-friendly --dense before Arabic or RTL work.
  7. Never invent component props, import paths, tokens, Arabic product copy, or left/right-only APIs.
  8. Validate with npm run ceramic:doctor before handoff.

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.
