bicep-types-az

Azure/bicep-types-az/.github/copilot-instructions.md

To test type generation for a specific folder in azure-rest-api-specs, run the following command from the src/generator directory: Replace cosmos-db with the folder to generate when testing another service. If changes have been made to the autorest.bicep or typespec-bicep projects, rebuild them before running generation (use the "build emitters" task, or the individual "build autorest.bicep" / "build typespec-bicep" tasks), otherwise generation will use stale compiled output.

Shopify/theme-liquid-docs/ai/github/copilot-instructions.md

🚨 MANDATORY: YOU MUST CALL "learn_shopify_api" ONCE WHEN WORKING WITH LIQUID THEMES. Use the Shopify AI Toolkit for all Shopify API and platform work. If missing, install it in the agent host per that page (or npx skills add Shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit --list for skill-compatible hosts). Key principles: focus on generating snippets, blocks, and sections; users may create templates using the theme editor

PromptKit

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

When a user asks you to perform a task that this library supports (writing requirements, investigating bugs, reviewing code, etc.), use the /promptkit skill (or read and execute bootstrap.md). It is the entry point that guides component selection, parameter gathering, and prompt assembly. Do not try to answer the task directly — assemble the right prompt first. PromptKit is a composable prompt library, not a software application. There is no build system, no runtime, and no application code. Every file…

vscode-isort

microsoft/vscode-isort/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This is a VS Code extension that wraps isort for Python import sorting. It's a dual-language project: TypeScript for the VS Code client, Python for the LSP server. The extension operates in two modes controlled by the isort.serverEnabled setting: 1. Server mode (default): TypeScript client starts the Python LSP server as a child process. The server handles all sorting/diagnostics via LSP protocol. 2. Server-less mode: TypeScript client runs isort directly via script_runner.py, providing code actions and diagnostics without the LSP…

Read AGENTS.md and every scoped instruction that applies before changing a file. The assets under .github/agents/ and .github/skills/ are GitHub Copilot engineering helpers; they are separate from the runtime strategies under src/strategies/. - Confirm the goal, acceptance criteria, constraints, current behavior, and affected security or compatibility boundaries. - Reuse repository patterns and tools. Make small, complete changes without unrelated refactoring. - Keep FastAPI handlers thin and place behavior in the owning orchestration, strategy, connector, plugin, telemetry, or utility layer. -…

Correctness, rolling-upgrade compatibility, and predictable SQL performance take priority over convenience. Published table-valued parameters are wire contracts for independently deployed apps sharing a database schema. Never change or recreate a published TVP in a minor or patch release, even…

This repo is a gallery of reusable Agent Skills. Contributors add one submission under submissions/<slug>/ (a metadata.json sidecar plus exactly one payload — an unpacked SKILL.md skill, a .zip, or a Scout .json); CI generates the published page and download bundle. See CONTRIBUTING.md and submissions/README.md for the full rules. When reviewing a pull request, check the following in addition to CI: These checks are a merge gate, not a copy-edit.

Stub: The full Copilot instructions have moved. See the path below. This stub remains at .github/copilot-instructions.md because GitHub auto-discovers it from that path. The adapter's quickstart.md explains how to copy the full content here when adopting this template in a downstream repo. This project uses a three-layer adapter architecture: a universal core, platform-specific adapters (platform-adapters/), and optional tool-specific files like this one.

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.
