mskills copilot-instructions.md

mskills copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from yurakawa/mskills. It costs 1,324 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for mskills, a TypeScript command-line tool that shares reusable AI-agent instructions between tools such as Claude, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, and Cursor.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing mskills commands, agent definitions, configuration, or skill-linking and copying logic.
Why use it?
They give coding agents clear rules about the technology stack, folder structure, testing, and how skills are managed.

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

mskills 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.

mskills - Copilot Instructions

Project Overview

mskills is a CLI tool designed to manage "Agent Skills" for various AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor) in a centralized way. It allows users to register skills, enable agents, and apply skills across different agent configurations through symbolic links or file copies.

Tech Stack

  • Language: TypeScript (strict mode enabled)
  • Runtime: Node.js (ES2022, ESM modules with .js extension imports)
  • Package Manager: npm
  • Testing: Vitest
  • CLI Framework: Commander.js
  • UI/Styling: chalk (terminal colors), ora (spinners)
  • Validation: Zod for runtime type checking

Architecture

Directory Structure

  • src/ - Source code in TypeScript
    • agents/ - Agent definitions and management (base.ts, manager.ts)
    • commands/ - CLI command implementations (add, remove, list, apply, agents)
    • config/ - Configuration file management (~/.mskills.json)
    • skills/ - Skill management logic
    • index.ts - Main CLI entry point
  • dist/ - Compiled JavaScript output (not committed)
  • demo-skill/ - Example skill for demonstrations

Key Concepts

  1. Skills: Directories containing agent instructions, registered with a name and path
  2. Agents: Supported AI agents with their configuration directories (~/.claude/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, etc.)
  3. Config: JSON file stored at ~/.mskills.json containing registered skills and enabled agents
  4. Apply: Creates symbolic links (or copies) from skill directories to agent skill directories

Coding Standards

TypeScript Guidelines

  1. Use strict mode - Already enabled in tsconfig.json
  2. Avoid any type - Use proper typing or unknown with type guards
  3. ESM imports - Always use .js extensions for local module imports (e.g., './config/index.js')
  4. Use modern Node.js APIs - Prefer node:fs/promises, node:path, node:os imports
  5. Commander types - Import types with import type { Command } from 'commander'
  6. Error handling - Catch errors and display user-friendly messages with chalk.red()

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.
