zhin copilot-instructions.md

zhin copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from zhinjs/zhin. It costs 1,156 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Zhin.js, a TypeScript framework for building plugins and messaging applications. They describe the required plugin structure, architecture, imports, and development workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating or changing Zhin.js plugins, commands, message handling, and shared packages in the pnpm workspace monorepo.
Why use it?
They prevent agents from using outdated APIs or bypassing the framework’s message-sending and plugin conventions. A monorepo is one repository containing multiple related packages or projects.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

zhin 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.

Zhin.js Copilot Instructions

优先阅读根目录 AGENTS.md。它是仓库级入口。

Plugin Runtime 为准。 新插件只用 definePlugin + 约定目录(defineCommand 等)。
禁止教 / 写 usePlugin()MessageCommandbootstrapNode / zhin.js/node

迁移旧代码:skill migrate-zhin-plugin-runtime

常驻约束

  • pnpm workspace monorepo,不用 git submodule。
  • TypeScript 本地相对导入必须带 .js 扩展名。
  • 新插件:plugin.ts default-export definePlugin();能力按目录发现。
  • IM 出站:Message.$reply / Adapter.sendMessagerenderSendMessagebefore.sendMessage → Endpoint;禁止旁路。
  • 分层:basic → kernel → ai → core → agent → zhinbasic/cli 可为 composition root)。
  • 改架构前读 docs/concepts/architecture.mddocs/contributing/repo-structure.md

最小创作面示例

// plugin.ts
import { definePlugin } from 'zhin.js';

export default definePlugin({
  name: 'my-plugin',
  metadata: { displayName: 'My Plugin' },
  setup(context) {
    context.lifecycle.add(() => { /* cleanup */ });
  },
});
// commands/hello/[name].ts — 路径即路由,类型在 params 中声明
import { defineCommand } from 'zhin.js/command';

export default defineCommand({
  description: '打招呼',
  params: {
    name: { type: 'string', description: '名字' },
  },
  execute({ params }) {
    return `你好,${params.name}!`;
  },
});

单文件 demo:examples/single-file-bot/bot.tssetup({ addCommand }))。

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.
