rosetta: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/command-versions-vs-presence.instructions.md

rosetta command-versions-vs-presence.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from tikoci/rosetta. It costs 141 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A note for a MikroTik documentation server explaining the difference between full command history and records showing which schema items exist in active releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Maintaining command-version history and release-based schema cleanup separately.
Why use it?
It prevents code and documentation from treating historical records and currently retained records as the same data.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

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

rosetta command-versions-vs-presence.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

command_versions vs schema_node_presence

These tables serve different purposes:

  • command_versions keeps the full extracted command history across all versions.
  • schema_node_presence is the enriched-schema presence table that release GC prunes to active channel heads only.

Do not collapse them into one concept in code or docs. Full history and release retention are both intentional.

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.
