rust-lsp copilot-instructions.md

Repository instructions for a Rust development plugin using rust-analyzer, a tool that understands Rust code while you edit it, and automated hooks that run after changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when configuring the Rust toolchain, editing the language-server setup, or adding hooks for Rust files.
Why use it?
They keep Rust changes small and reviewable and define how setup commands and hooks should behave safely.

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

rust-lsp 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.

What it actually says

Copilot instructions

You are working in a Claude Code plugin for Rust development with LSP and automated hooks.

Priorities

  1. Keep changes small and reviewable.
  2. Hooks must be fast and fail-open (use || true).
  3. Update README.md and commands/setup.md when changing user-facing behavior.

Key Files

  • .lsp.json - rust-analyzer LSP configuration
  • hooks/hooks.json - 18 automated development hooks
  • commands/setup.md - /setup command for toolchain installation

Commands

  • Setup: /setup (installs rust-analyzer and all cargo tools)
  • Manual install: See commands/setup.md for the full toolchain

When Adding Hooks

Use this pattern in hooks/hooks.json:

{
    "name": "hook-name",
    "event": "afterWrite",
    "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "command -v tool && tool args | head -N || true" }],
    "matcher": "**/*.rs"
}
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.
