rubiks-cube-solver: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/project-core.instructions.md

rubiks-cube-solver project-core.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from williamisnotdefined/rubiks-cube-solver. It costs 4,486 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for a specific Rubik's Cube solver project. It tells coding agents which project rules, Rust boundaries, testing guidance, architecture notes, and cube-related terms to read before making changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides feature work, code changes, testing, and maintenance in that Rust Rubik's Cube solver, including updates to the project's AI knowledge files.
Why use it?
It gives AI-assisted changes a shared project context instead of making each task rediscover the repository's rules and structure. This helps keep changes consistent with the existing codebase.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions Codex; mentions OpenCode.

This is williamisnotdefined/rubiks-cube-solver's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on rubiks-cube-solver 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 rubiks-cube-solver 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

rubiks-cube-solver project-core.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.

Project Core

Use this skill as the always-on repository baseline for AI-assisted changes anywhere in the Rubik's Cube solver.

Goal

Keep every change aligned with Rust engine boundaries, cube domain language, current project priorities, verification flow, and AI knowledge maintenance rules.

Read First

  • ai/rules/repository-rules.md
  • ai/rules/testing-rules.md
  • ai/rules/ai-rules.md
  • ai/architecture/project-architecture.md
  • ai/architecture/ai-knowledge-system.md
  • ai/glossary/cube-terms.md

Workflow

  • Start from docs/project-plan.md, nearby code, tests, and source docs before changing behavior.
  • Create or switch to a dedicated task branch before changing files; never work or commit directly on main.
  • Apply a narrower skill when the task touches cube engine, solver search, API boundary, frontend visualization, or AI knowledge.
  • Keep solver logic in Rust and keep AI routes generated.
  • Run targeted verification first, then broader checks when a change crosses boundaries.

Expected Output

  • Code follows the current repository boundaries and documented priorities.
  • Generated AI route files are never edited manually.
  • Final reporting names verification that was run or explains why it was blocked.

Verification

  • Run npm run ai:check after AI knowledge changes.
  • Run cargo test -p cube-engine after engine changes when Rust is installed.

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.
