Employee-Self-Service-Agent-Developer-Kit / tests

microsoft/Employee-Self-Service-Agent-Developer-Kit/tests/AGENTS.md

If you are an AI coding agent (Copilot CLI, Claude, or any other) working on the test suite under this directory, read this file first and follow it strictly. This file is the test-authoring companion to solutions/ess-maker-skills/scripts/flightcheck/AGENTS.md. That sibling file covers the rules for the production checks themselves (the code customers run via /flightcheck). The cardinal rule applies in both places: Every FlightCheck check that calls an external API must be backed by a captured cassette of real responses AND…

microsoft/Employee-Self-Service-Agent-Developer-Kit/tools/ess-nextgen-migration-toolkit/AGENTS.md

Canonical location notice This repository follows Specification-Driven Development (SDD), and the AI Agent Operating Manual is a specification. To avoid two divergent constitutions, the single source of truth for agent behavior lives with the specifications, not in this build tree. Canonical file: dev-specs/ess-nextgen-migration-toolkit/AGENTS.md Read and follow the canonical AGENTS.md in full before implementing any task. Do not duplicate or fork its rules here. * Specifications (source of truth) live at the repository root under dev-specs/ess-nextgen-migration-toolkit/: * The buildable toolkit (implementation)…

* Review the CONTRIBUTING.md file for instructions to build and test the software. * Run the .github/Prime-ForCopilot.ps1 script (once) before running any dotnet or msbuild commands. If you see any build errors about not finding git objects or a shallow clone, it may be time to run this script again.

fabric-apps-analytic-templates

microsoft/fabric-apps-analytic-templates/AGENTS.md

You will help the user build a React web app that visualizes data from Power BI semantic models. The app fetches live data via DAX queries, renders charts and grids using Vega-Lite and a built-in DataGrid component, and supports light/dark theming. Your job is to discover the user's data, write correct DAX queries, validate visual query factories, and build React components that fetch and display that data. The app reaches a semantic model through a Rayfin connector. Register one before…

sbi

microsoft/sbi/AGENTS.md

SBI (Secure Base Images) is a CLI tool that scans container base images and, in the default nightly workflow/config, performs vulnerability scanning of images from MCR (Microsoft Container Registry), then generates ranked recommendation reports. All commands use Task (see Taskfile.yml). Always run task lint before creating a PR — CI runs linting on all PRs and will fail on errors.

Code in this repository should follow the guidelines specified in the Microsoft Rust Guidelines. The spell checker dictionary is in the .spelling file, one word per line in arbitrary order. Do not manually edit CHANGELOG.md files. Changelogs are automatically updated on release. When a PR changes cargo-anvil's catalog (including template-only updates), include an appropriate cargo-anvil crate version bump in the same PR. Use .\scripts\release-crate.ps1 cargo-anvil -Version <new-version> to update the version and generate the changelog, then regenerate the Anvil artifacts,…

ox-tools / cargo-coverage-gate

microsoft/ox-tools/crates/cargo-coverage-gate/AGENTS.md

Inherits everything from the workspace-root AGENTS.md. Additions below are specific to this crate. cargo-gamma runs in CI against this crate. Before claiming a change is done, prefer adding direct unit tests for any private helper whose arithmetic, comparisons, or branch conditions would otherwise only be exercised through wider integration tests — those are the mutants the runner catches most often, and surviving mutants block the build. Keep gamma::skip comment suppressions narrow: identify the specific mutation kinds and include a reason.…

agent-framework-durable-extension / durable-agents

microsoft/agent-framework-durable-extension/docs/features/durable-agents/AGENTS.md

Instructions for AI coding agents working on durable agents documentation. This directory contains feature documentation for the durable agents integration. The source code and samples live elsewhere: Add new sibling documents when a topic is too detailed for the README (e.g., a new feature like reliable streaming or MCP tool exposure). Keep the README focused on orientation and link out to siblings for depth. Run markdownlint on all documents before committing, with line-length checks disabled:

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

About AGENTS.md

What is AGENTS.md?

An open format for instructions to coding agents, read by Codex, Cursor and others. Think of it as a README written for agents.

Where does it go?

At the repository root, with more specific files in subdirectories. Agents read the one closest to the file they're editing.

What should it contain?

Setup and test commands, code style, and the rules a new contributor would need to know.

Does Claude Code read it?

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md. A one-line CLAUDE.md that points at AGENTS.md covers both.
