mcp-server-ppt: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/readme-management.instructions.md

mcp-server-ppt readme-management.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from trsdn/mcp-server-ppt. It costs 1,540 tokens per session, scanned A, original, from a forked repository, MIT.

A maintenance guide for the project's README files, which are documents that explain software to users and developers. It defines the different README audiences and requires documented tool and action counts to match the actual project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing features, updating README files, maintaining Features.md, or checking the documented MCP and command-line capabilities.
Why use it?
It prevents setup and feature documentation from becoming inconsistent, especially when the command-line tool and MCP server provide different operations.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is trsdn/mcp-server-ppt's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on mcp-server-ppt 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 mcp-server-ppt 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

mcp-server-ppt readme-management.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 1mo 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.

Critical Rules

Tool & Action Counts Must Match

⚠️ IMPORTANT: CLI has FEWER tools/operations than MCP Server!

ALWAYS count tools/operations BEFORE updating any README. Never use hardcoded numbers from memory.

Before updating counts, verify by counting:

  • MCP Server: Count tool files (ppt_batch handled via PptTools.cs, not separate tool file)
  • CLI: Count command group folders (includes Session commands)
  • Operations: Count separately for each - they differ!

Sync counts across:

  • GitHub Project About: https://github.com/trsdn/mcp-server-ppt (use the GitHub CLI to update)
  • /README.md
  • /src/PptMcp.McpServer/README.md
  • /src/PptMcp.CLI/README.md
  • /vscode-extension/README.md
  • /gh-pages/index.md
  • /FEATURES.md

Operation Lists Must Be Complete

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Where operation lists are documented, they MUST match the actual code!

The gh-pages/index.md file contains detailed tables of all operations for each tool. When adding/removing operations:

  1. Verify section header count matches actual operation count in code
  2. Verify each operation is listed in the table - no missing or extra entries
  3. Verify operation names match the code (kebab-case in docs, PascalCase in code)

Common discrepancies found:

  • Section header says "25 actions" but code has 30
  • Table lists operations that don't exist (stale documentation)
  • Table is missing newly added operations

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.
