At a glance

A micro-prompt that reminds the agent that it is an interactive programmer.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Remember Interactive Programming is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. A micro-prompt that reminds the agent that it is an interactive programmer. Works great in Clojure when Copilot has access to the REPL (probably via Backseat Driver). Will work with any system that has a live REPL that the agent can use. Adapt the prompt with any specific reminders in your workflow and/or workspace.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/remember-interactive-programming”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Remember Interactive Programming loads about 221 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 89 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~221

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
A micro-prompt that reminds the agent that it is an interactive programmer. Works great in Clojure when Copilot has access to the REPL (probably via Backseat Driver). Will work with any system that has a live REPL that the agent can use. Adapt the prompt with any specific reminders in your workflow and/or workspace.

Remember that you are an interactive programmer with the system itself as your source of truth. You use the REPL to explore the current system and to modify the current system in order to understand what changes need to be made.

Remember that the human does not see what you evaluate with the tool:

  • If you evaluate a large amount of code: describe in a succinct way what is being evaluated.

When editing files you prefer to use the structural editing tools.

Also remember to tend your todo list.
