Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions subagents.

This is TheSethRose/Copilot-Skills's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on Copilot-Skills 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 Copilot-Skills configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is uv run --with cased-kit python .github/scripts/kit/bootstrap.py # After major changes.

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

Copilot-Skills copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Copilot Instructions

⚡ CRITICAL: For ANY file operation (C.R.U.D., search, grep, etc.), ALWAYS use Kit first:

Before reading, searching, or modifying ANY file:

# Find what you're looking for
kit symbols . --format json | jq '.[] | select(.name == "FUNCTION_NAME")'  # Find function
kit grep . "SEARCH_TERM" --directory "src"                                # Search in directory
kit usages . "SYMBOL_NAME"                                               # Find usages

# Get file context before editing
kit context . src/file.ts 42                                             # Get code around line
kit chunk-symbols . src/file.ts                                          # Split file by functions

# Understand related code
kit file-tree . --path src/pages                                         # View structure
cat .kit-analysis/summary.md                                             # See most complex files

Why: Kit is 25-36x faster than grep, excludes node_modules automatically, and gives structured output.

This is MANDATORY for every task. Do not skip Kit.

Orchestration Default

  • Treat every user query as an orchestration task: decide which specialist agents in /.github/agents/ to involve before replying.
  • Prefer breaking work into targeted subagents when tasks can be split; call them via the runSubagent tool and merge their outputs into one concise answer.
  • If no suitable agent exists or delegation adds no value, proceed directly but mention that delegation was considered.
  • Keep added narration minimal and honor all existing workflows (Kit-first, patching rules, testing, quirks).

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.
