rosetta: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/republish-assets-not-npm.instructions.md

rosetta republish-assets-not-npm.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from tikoci/rosetta. It costs 263 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Release instructions for republishing GitHub Release files and OCI container image tags. They clarify that npm packages cannot be overwritten.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when configuring or documenting the republish_assets workflow, especially for exact versions, image tags, and npm release decisions.
Why use it?
They prevent operators from expecting an old npm version to change. They also explain what happens to prerelease tags when assets are republished.

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 republish-assets-not-npm.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 10d 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

republish_assets does not republish npm

The republish_assets workflow input is for GitHub Release assets and OCI tags only.

  • npm versions are immutable.
  • If a release needs a new npm package, bump package.json and publish a new version through the normal release flow.
  • Keep docs explicit about this so operators do not expect npm to be overwritten.
  • For a prerelease (alpha/beta/rc) version, republish_assets: true also does not move any floating tag: no npm dist-tag add, and no floating OCI tag (:latest, :alpha/:beta/:rc, :next) gets re-pushed — only the exact-version and sha-* image tags are re-uploaded. inputs.version must carry the exact already-published run-numbered version (e.g. v0.11.0-alpha.42); CI cannot recompute a past run's $GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER.
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.
