MicroHack / 02_Inventory_Planning_Fabric

microsoft/MicroHack/03-Azure/01-04-AI/02_Inventory_Planning_Fabric/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This workspace is a microhack lab for the EMEA MicroHack platform (microsoft/MicroHack). The platform renders a front-end UI, but all resource provisioning comes from labautomation/deploy-lab.ps1. Without a working deployment script, no resources appear in the Azure portal — the platform is just a shiny front end. The platform skips the script if the parameter block does not exactly match: Write a hashtable to the output stream — the platform captures it and shows it on the user's dashboard: Labs must…

MicroHack / 04_Agentic_Contract_Lifecycle_Management

microsoft/MicroHack/03-Azure/01-04-AI/04_Agentic_Contract_Lifecycle_Management/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This workspace is the Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) agentic microhack lab, built for the EMEA MicroHack platform (microsoft/MicroHack). The platform renders a front-end UI, but all resource provisioning comes from labautomation/deploy-lab.ps1. Without a working deployment script, no resources appear in the Azure portal — the platform is just a shiny front end. This lab also ships src/ (agent code), images/, and docs/ for the CLM scenario. Those are additive — the platform contract above is what the platform enforces. The…

MicroHack / 08_Predictive_Maintenance

microsoft/MicroHack/03-Azure/01-04-AI/08_Predictive_Maintenance/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This repo is used for a workshop/exercise. If such folders exist in the workspace, treat them as off-limits. This workshop must work reliably with smaller models (e.g., GPT-5-mini). Follow these constraints: Add brief comments explaining C#-specific idioms: - ?? and ??= operators (null coalescing) - Primary constructors - await using (like Python's async with)

RecursiveExtractor

microsoft/RecursiveExtractor/.github/copilot-instructions.md

RecursiveExtractor is a cross-platform .NET library and CLI tool for parsing archive files and disk images, including nested archives. It provides a unified interface to extract arbitrary archives using libraries like SharpCompress and DiscUtils. ⚠️ Important: This repository uses Nerdbank.GitVersioning (NBGV) to calculate version numbers from git history. Shallow clones will cause the build to fail with a GitException: Shallow clone lacks the objects required to calculate version height error. If you encounter this, deepen the clone: ⚠️ Important: The…

* 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. IMPORTANT: This repository uses Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP v2) with xunit v3. Traditional --filter syntax does NOT work. Use the options below instead.

Read ../AGENTS.md first — it is the canonical entry point and describes the repository layout, the manifest model, the build/run/validate loop, and where the standards live. - Validate before pushing: run pwsh ./scripts/verify.ps1. It checks that every JSON, XML, and .mobileconfig artifact parses and that PowerShell scripts are syntactically valid. - Follow the conventions: ../docs/conventions.md, ../standards/policy-naming-standard.prd, and ../standards/manifest-standard.prd. Any new artifact needs a sibling .xml manifest with a unique <ReferenceId>, placed under the relevant platform folder (e.g. macOS/). - Generated…

Read AGENTS.md and every scoped instruction that applies to changed files. Executable configuration and current implementation take precedence over examples in prose. This repository uses: Unless a maintainer explicitly authorizes an exception: Do not mix new feature work into release branches. A maintainer-authorized one-off branch or pull-request target exception applies only to that task and does not change repository policy. Use clear conventional commit subjects such as: Follow semantic versioning: For release 2.6.0, keep these forms aligned: Never add v…

bocpy

microsoft/bocpy/.github/copilot-instructions.md

bocpy is a Python library implementing Behavior-Oriented Concurrency (BOC) — a concurrency paradigm that eliminates data races and deadlocks by construction. Instead of locks and shared mutable state, programmers wrap data in cowns (concurrently-owned objects) and schedule behaviors that execute once all required cowns are available. The scheduler acquires cowns in a deterministic order (two-phase locking over sorted cown IDs), guaranteeing deadlock freedom. Workers run in Python sub-interpreters — on Python 3.12+ these are truly parallel (per-interpreter GIL). An Erlang-style…

About Copilot instructions

What is copilot-instructions.md?

Repository-wide instructions for GitHub Copilot, kept in .github/copilot-instructions.md.

What should it contain?

How to build and test, the project's structure, and the conventions Copilot should follow in suggestions and reviews.

Does it replace AGENTS.md?

No. Copilot's coding agent also reads AGENTS.md, so many projects keep the shared rules there.

Which ones worked?
