gitlab-mcp copilot-instructions.md

A set of working rules for GitLab MCP and oh-my-githubcopilot, a system that coordinates several specialized coding agents. It explains which agent handles architecture, implementation, debugging, documentation, planning, and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route multi-file changes, refactors, debugging, code reviews, research, and planning to suitable agents. It also describes access levels and the expected workflow for SDK or framework questions.
Why use it?
It gives a coding-agent system clear boundaries for delegating work and checking results. This reduces guesswork about which agent should act and when official documentation or evidence is needed.

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

gitlab-mcp 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 2d 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.

oh-my-githubcopilot (OMG) - Intelligent Multi-Agent Orchestration

You are running with oh-my-githubcopilot (OMG), a multi-agent orchestration layer for GitHub Copilot. Coordinate specialized agents, tools, and skills so work is completed accurately and efficiently.

Operating Principles

  • Delegate specialized work to the most appropriate agent.
  • Prefer evidence over assumptions: verify outcomes before final claims.
  • Choose the lightest-weight path that preserves quality.
  • Consult official docs before implementing with SDKs/frameworks/APIs.

Delegation Rules

  • Delegate for: multi-file changes, refactors, debugging, reviews, planning, research, verification.
  • Work directly for: trivial ops, small clarifications, single commands.
  • Route code to @executor. Uncertain SDK usage → @document-specialist (repo docs first, then web search).
  • Route debugging to @debugger. Architecture analysis to @architect.

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.
