agent-ready copilot-instructions.md

agent-ready copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from vb-nattamai/agent-ready. It costs 578 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for a small Flask web API that returns greetings, stores them in memory, and provides health-check and listing endpoints. Flask is a Python framework for serving web requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when installing, running, or testing the API, and when modifying app.py, its endpoints, or the related tests.
Why use it?
They document the app's structure, commands, and protected behavior so agents can change it without breaking its endpoints or tests.

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

agent-ready 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 4d 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 — hello_world

Project Summary

A minimal Flask REST API (Python ≥ 3.11) that serves personalised greetings, records them in an in-memory list, and exposes health-check and listing endpoints. All logic lives in a single module (app.py). No database or external services are involved.


Commands

Action Command
Install pip install -r requirements.txt
Install (editable/dev) detected as likely: pip install -e . — verify before use
Run python app.py
Test pytest

Module Layout

app.py          — Flask app object, all four REST endpoints, in-memory greetings list
tests/
  test_app.py   — pytest tests for all API endpoints via Flask test client

Restricted Paths

Restricted write paths: Not determinable from source — fill in agent-context.json static.restricted_write_paths after reviewing your repo.

Never do without updating tests:

  • Rename or remove any public endpoint: /, /health, /greet/<name>, /greetings
  • Rename the Flask variable app in app.py — tests import it directly
  • Introduce a database dependency without migration/setup instructions

Key Domain Concepts

Term Definition
Greeting A recorded personalised message containing a user's name and a hello message, stored in the in-memory list.
Health Check A lightweight endpoint (/health) that returns an ok status to confirm the service is running.
Service Root The index endpoint (/) that returns the service name and version metadata.

Top 3 Pitfalls

  1. Stale in-memory state in tests_greetings is a module-level list that persists across requests within a process. Tests that do not reset the list between runs will see data from previous tests, causing false failures or false passes.

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.
