copilot-agents-optimization

copilot-agents-optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,723 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for improving AGENTS.md and GitHub Copilot instruction files, which tell coding assistants how to work in a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect, streamline, and update agent and Copilot guidance while checking for overlap with project skills and playbooks.
Why use it?
It removes duplicated or misplaced instructions and keeps these files within their intended size limits.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is | Controller guidelines | `../../../docs/guidelines/php/controllers.md` |.

Good fit It helps inspect, streamline, and update agent and Copilot guidance while checking for overlap with project skills and playbooks.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

copilot-agents-optimization 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 7d 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.

Copilot & AGENTS Optimizer Skill

When to use

Use this skill when:

  • Running /docs-optimize to refactor AGENTS.md and copilot-instructions.md
  • Adding new content to either file and needing to check if it belongs there
  • After changes to .augment/ (new skills, rules, guidelines) that may make content in these files redundant
  • When either file exceeds the line budget

Do NOT use when:

  • Writing application code
  • Creating new skills or commands

Procedure: Optimize copilot/agents files

0. Analyze current state

Before changing anything, read and understand:

  1. Read AGENTS.md — current content, line count, what's duplicated vs. unique.
  2. Read .github/copilot-instructions.md — same analysis.
  3. Scan .augment/ — which skills, rules, and guidelines already cover topics from the files above. 3b. Scan the playbooks too, not only .augment/. A packages/<n>/AGENTS.md may duplicate a playbook rather than a shipped rule, and dedup against .augment/ alone misses it entirely — the content is not in .augment/ at all. Run findRestatedSteps (src/scripts/derive_playbooks.ts) over each workspace file: a line carrying a playbook's invokes id outside a link is a restatement to replace with a pointer. The same id inside a link label is the shape the contract wants — see agents-md-thin-root § Workspace files.
  4. Identify duplication — what content exists in both AGENTS.md and .augment/?

Only after this analysis, proceed with optimization.

  • Database and multi-tenancy setup
  • Testing framework, suites, and conventions
  • Quality tool commands (PHPStan, Rector, ECS)
  • Project structure overview (brief, link to module docs)
  • Agent infrastructure overview (layer table, key references)

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.

copilot-agents-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository event4u-app/agent-config (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 2,723 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
