mcp-server-ppt meta.instructions.md

A guide for maintainers who write instruction files for AI coding assistants. It defines file names, required frontmatter, matching file patterns, and the difference between actionable instructions and general system documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing files ending in `.instructions.md`, setting their file-matching rules, or testing them with an AI assistant.
Why use it?
It keeps instruction files discoverable and useful to the AI assistant that reads them while reducing vague or misplaced guidance.

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

mcp-server-ppt meta.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 3d 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.

Copilot Instructions - Meta

Note for maintainers: This file provides minimal guidance for editing instruction files. For complete documentation, see docs/COPILOT-INSTRUCTIONS-GUIDE.md

Quick Rules for Maintainers

File Naming

  • ✅ MUST end with .instructions.md
  • ✅ Use descriptive names: ppt-com-interop.instructions.md
  • ❌ DON'T use generic names: notes.instructions.md

Frontmatter Required

---
applyTo: "**/*.cs,**/*.csproj"
---
  • NO spaces after commas in glob patterns
  • Use ** for recursive directories

Content Focus

Write FOR the LLM (actionable instructions):

  • ✅ "When X, run command Y"
  • ✅ "Follow these N steps"
  • ✅ Quick reference tables
  • ✅ ✅/❌ code examples

Don't write ABOUT the system (documentation):

  • ❌ "The problem we solved was..."
  • ❌ "This strategy has 5 layers..."
  • ❌ Historical context

Testing

  1. Open file matching applyTo pattern
  2. Ask Copilot Chat a related question
  3. Check "References" section for your instruction file

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.
