Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is tosin2013/documcp's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on documcp 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 documcp 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

documcp 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 2mo 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.

DocuMCP AI Coding Agent Instructions

DocuMCP is an intelligent MCP server for GitHub Pages documentation deployment with 45+ tools, Knowledge Graph memory system, and AST-based code analysis.

Architecture Essentials

MCP Server Design (src/index.ts)

  • Stateless operation: Each tool analyzes current state; no persistent session data
  • Resource storage: Temporary session context in resourceStore Map with URIs like documcp://analysis/{id}
  • Response format: ALL tools MUST use formatMCPResponse() from src/types/api.ts returning MCPToolResponse
  • Memory integration: Tools auto-store results in JSONL (.documcp/memory/) and query historical data

Tool Implementation Pattern

Every tool follows this structure:

  1. Zod schema for input validation (e.g., inputSchema.parse())
  2. Business logic with error handling
  3. Return via formatMCPResponse({ success, data, metadata, recommendations?, nextSteps? })
  4. Store result as resource: storeResourceFromToolResult(result, 'analysis', analysis.id)

Example (see src/tools/analyze-repository.ts):

const inputSchema = z.object({
  path: z.string(),
  depth: z.enum(["quick", "standard", "deep"]).optional(),
});
export async function analyzeRepository(
  args: unknown,
): Promise<MCPToolResponse> {
  const input = inputSchema.parse(args);
  // ... logic ...
  return formatMCPResponse({
    success: true,
    data: analysis,
    metadata: { toolVersion, executionTime, timestamp },
  });
}

Knowledge Graph Memory (src/memory/)

  • Entities: Project, User, Configuration, Technology, CodeFile, DocumentationSection (see src/memory/schemas.ts)
  • Relationships: project_uses_technology, project_deployed_with, similar_to, documents, etc.
  • Storage: .documcp/memory/knowledge-graph-entities.jsonl and knowledge-graph-relationships.jsonl
  • Integration: Use createOrUpdateProject(), getProjectContext(), trackDeployment() from src/memory/kg-integration.ts

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.
