Agents-for-js

microsoft/Agents-for-js/.github/copilot-instructions.md

The Microsoft 365 Agents SDK for JavaScript/TypeScript (successor to BotFramework SDK v4) — a framework for building agents across M365, Teams, Copilot Studio, and Webchat. It is an npm-workspaces monorepo (packages/* and test-agents/*) using ES modules ("type": "module", module: node16) and TypeScript project references. Requires Node.js 22+ (development and CI use Node 24). Run a single test (the runner is node:test with tsx, not jest/mocha): Run npm run repo:doctor after structural, package, documentation, build-reference, dependency, API-baseline, test-agent, Docker, or runtime-configuration…

When working on code that consumes the Kiota .NET libraries, or when encountering build errors after a version update, refer to docs/upgrade-guide-v1-to-v2.md for breaking changes, migration steps, and compiler error mappings between v1.x and v2.x. Always use conventional commits format when creating commits. Follow this structure: The scope should indicate the package or area affected (e.g., abstractions, http, serialization-json). If a commit introduces a breaking change, add BREAKING CHANGE: in the footer or append ! after the type/scope:

Omex

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

This is a collection of shared .NET extensions and utilities for building scalable, distributed systems at Microsoft. The codebase follows a modular architecture with multiple NuGet packages, each serving specific purposes in service orchestration, telemetry, health monitoring, Service Fabric integration, and feature management. All extensions follow this consistent pattern: See src/Hosting/ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs for the canonical example. Use IAccessor<T> for late-bound dependencies not available during DI container build (especially Service Fabric contexts): See src/Abstractions/Accessors/Accessor.cs and src/Hosting.Services/HostBuilderExtensions.cs Health checks use decorator pattern instead…

atlas-design

microsoft/atlas-design/.github/copilot-instructions.md

The Atlas Design System is a CSS-first framework powering Microsoft Learn. It's a monorepo with eight workspaces: css, js, site, integration, extension, and three plugins. CSS-first philosophy: JavaScript is added only when required for accessibility or as lightweight web components. Most UI patterns should be achievable with CSS alone. Token flow: CSS variables are defined in css/src/tokens/, exported to JSON/TS via npm run build:tokens, and consumed by other packages. Property order (enforced by Stylelint): Required practices: Required for changes to…

nodewright

NVIDIA/nodewright/.github/copilot-instructions.md

GitHub Copilot should follow this project's canonical coding-agent rules. Those rules (repository architecture, the Status / State / Stage vocabulary, the level-triggered reconcile pattern, error/context/logging conventions, required make targets, commit signing, and the pull request process) live in one place and are mirrored for every tool that reads this directory. Do not duplicate that content here. Read the canonical sources directly: - AGENTS.md is the canonical agent guide (a symlink to .claude/CLAUDE.md); treat it as authoritative for code style, architecture,…

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?
