aiops: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

aiops copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from yugasun/aiops. It costs 216 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of coding rules for the AIOps project, meaning software that helps operate and monitor computer systems. The rules favor the smallest change that works and specify how code and explanations should be written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide implementation decisions and limit changes during delivery, then produce code first with a brief note about deliberate omissions.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unnecessary abstractions, boilerplate, and speculative features while keeping security, accessibility, validation, and data protection intact.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is yugasun/aiops's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on aiops 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 aiops 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

aiops 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 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.

What it actually says

Copilot Instructions

>

Lean

The smallest working change. Efficiency is not carelessness. Active during delivery in the aiops bundle; off during grill/alignment.

Ladder

Stop at the first rung that holds:

  1. Does this need to exist? (YAGNI)
  2. Stdlib does it?
  3. Native platform feature?
  4. Already-installed dependency?
  5. One line?
  6. Minimum code that works

Rules

  • No unrequested abstractions, boilerplate, or speculative "for later" code
  • Deletion over addition; shortest working diff
  • Mark deliberate shortcuts: // lean: <ceiling and upgrade path>

Output

Code first, then at most three lines: what was skipped, when to add it.

Never cut

Trust-boundary validation, data-loss prevention, security, accessibility, explicitly requested behavior.

Intensity

/lean lite|full|ultra — default full. Off: "stop lean" / "normal mode".

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.
