ctxlint copilot-instructions.md

A set of coding instructions for an order-intake service built with Express and PostgreSQL. It defines the required workflow, component conventions, formatting, and API pagination rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guiding development of the service, including React dashboard components, list endpoints, tests, branches, reviews, and merges.
Why use it?
It gives an agent project-specific rules to follow when changing code, testing work, and preparing a pull request.

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

ctxlint 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 yesterday.

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

Copilot instructions — acme-orders

Order intake service for the Acme storefront. Express + Postgres, CommonJS.

Workflow

  • Before pushing, run npm test and make sure every test passes. Open a pull request against the develop branch and request review from at least one backend engineer.
  • Squash-merge only. The commit history should read like a changelog.
  • Branch names: feat/…, fix/…, chore/….

Components

  • Never use named exports for React components. Always use default exports for components, so the file name stays the import name.
  • Components for the internal dashboard live under dashboard/components/ and use the shared design system; do not hand-roll buttons or form fields.

Style

  • Use 2-space indentation and single quotes.
  • Prefer small pure functions over classes.
  • Paginate list endpoints with limit/offset query params, defaulting to 50/0.
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.
