Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is tontoko/fast-playwright-mcp's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on fast-playwright-mcp 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 fast-playwright-mcp 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

fast-playwright-mcp 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 6d 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

Fast Playwright MCP - GitHub Copilot Instructions

Project Context

This is the Fast Playwright MCP Server project - a TypeScript/JavaScript automation tool using Playwright for browser automation via MCP (Model Context Protocol).

Key Principles

  • Use Biome (via Ultracite) for consistent formatting and linting
  • Follow existing patterns in the codebase
  • Prioritize type safety and error handling
  • Write comprehensive tests

Coding Guidelines

TypeScript Best Practices

  • Use strict type definitions
  • Prefer import type for types
  • Use const assertions where appropriate
  • Avoid any type - use proper typing

Error Handling

  • Always handle errors appropriately
  • Use proper error types and messages
  • Log errors for debugging
  • Don't swallow exceptions

Testing

  • Write comprehensive tests for new features
  • Use Playwright's built-in test utilities
  • Mock external dependencies appropriately
  • Test both success and error paths

MCP Protocol

  • Follow MCP specification for tool definitions
  • Provide clear tool descriptions and parameters
  • Handle MCP transport properly
  • Return structured responses

Project Structure

  • /src/ - Main source code
  • /tests/ - Test files
  • /benchmark/ - Performance benchmarking
  • /extension/ - Browser extension code

Commands

  • npm run build - Build TypeScript
  • npm test - Run Playwright tests
  • npm run lint-fix - Format and fix code
  • npm run benchmark - Run performance tests
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.
