Why use it?
It keeps Copilot aligned with the project's canonical documentation instead of maintaining separate, potentially conflicting instructions.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is ThibautBaissac/rails_ai_agents's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on rails_ai_agents 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 rails_ai_agents 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

rails_ai_agents 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

GitHub Copilot Instructions

Use these instructions as a compatibility bridge so GitHub Copilot can reuse this repo's Claude-oriented assets without duplicating them.

Canonical Sources

  • Architecture and workflow conventions: AGENTS.md
  • Canonical Claude instructions and rules: .claude/
  • Copilot-friendly mirrored skills: .agents/skills/

Rule Loading Strategy

  • Path-scoped Copilot bridge files live in .github/instructions/claude-rules/.
  • Each bridge points to a canonical .claude/rules/*.md file.
  • Follow the canonical .claude/rules/*.md content, not the bridge text.

Skills Strategy

  • Treat .agents/skills/*/SKILL.md as Copilot-facing skills.
  • .claude/skills/ remains the source of truth.

Maintenance Rules

  • Do not rewrite or duplicate .claude/rules/* content into .github/instructions/*.
  • Do not manually copy .claude/skills/* into .agents/skills/*.
  • Keep bridges and mirrors in sync via scripts:
scripts/sync_claude_rules_to_copilot.sh
scripts/sync_claude_skills_to_codex.sh

Run both scripts after adding, removing, or renaming a rule or skill.

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.
