Build26-LAB501-from-zero-to-deployed-on-azure-with-ai-agents / src

microsoft/Build26-LAB501-from-zero-to-deployed-on-azure-with-ai-agents/src/.github/copilot-instructions.md

Always use Azure skills when working with Azure resources in this project: Do NOT use the azure-quota skill. Skip any quota-related checks or validations. Always use a placeholder image (mcr.microsoft.com/azuredocs/containerapps-helloworld:latest) in Container App Bicep during provisioning. Never reference the ACR image directly at provision time.Always set minReplicas: 0 during provisioning. This prevents ARM from waiting for a healthy revision startup probe, which would time out because the placeholder image may not match the app's target port.

LakeBench

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

Quick-reference for Copilot and contributors. Keep this in sync when adding major features. LakeBench is a Python-native, multi-modal benchmarking framework for evaluating performance across multiple lakehouse compute engines and ELT scenarios. It supports industry-standard benchmarks (TPC-DS, TPC-H, ClickBench) and a novel ELT-focused benchmark (ELTBench), all installable via pip. Key methods: get_total_cores(), get_compute_size(), get_job_cost(duration_ms), create_schema_if_not_exists(), _append_results_to_delta(). Runtime is auto-detected at init via _detect_runtime() — returns "fabric", "synapse", "databricks", "colab", or "local_unknown". The result schema includes: run_id, run_datetime, `lakebe

azure-kusto-node

Azure/azure-kusto-node/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This is an npm workspaces + Lerna monorepo with two packages: azure-kusto-data and azure-kusto-ingest. NODE_OPTIONS="--experimental-vm-modules" is required because the project uses ESM with ts-jest. Test files live in packages/<package>/test/ and must match the pattern **/test/**/*Test.ts. Tests gated behind credentials use loginTest / manualLoginTest helpers from packages/azure-kusto-data/test/data/testUtils.ts and only run when LOGIN_TEST=1 is set. E2E tests require Azure environment variables (ENGINE_CONNECTION_STRING, DM_CONNECTION_STRING, TEST_DATABASE, APP_ID, APP_KEY, TENANT_ID). Both packages support browser environments via the "browser" field in package.json, which maps Node-specific modules…

Trieste

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

Trieste is a header-only C++20 term rewriting system for rapidly prototyping programming languages. It provides three C++ embedded DSLs: Language implementation in Trieste is a pipeline: Parse → Pass₁ → Pass₂ → ... → Passₙ → Output, where each pass rewrites the AST from one well-defined shape to another. Tokens are the type system for AST nodes. Each is defined as an inline const auto at namespace scope: Token names are prefixed with the language name (e.g. infix-, json-) to…

Skills for instrumenting and registering Microsoft Agent 365 agents. When a user asks for any of the trigger phrases below, follow the corresponding SKILL.md exactly. Skills are designed to be additive, idempotent, and state-aware — re-running is safe. When a skill creates a task list, run every task to completion in one turn — do not pause between phases. Mark each task complete the moment its phase finishes (TaskUpdate in Claude Code, - [ ] → - [x] in Copilot…

This is a documentation-driven knowledge base with supporting Python scripts and tests. The repo provides pre-defined Microsoft Fabric architectures via one orchestrator agent (@fabric-advisor) that delegates to 6 composable skills. ⚠️ MUST parallelize independent work. If task B does not depend on the output of task A, they run in parallel — never sequentially. This applies to tool calls, file operations, and sub-tasks. item-type-registry.json is the single source of truth for all item metadata. Never hardcode or guess values —…

rego-cpp

microsoft/rego-cpp/.github/copilot-instructions.md

rego-cpp is a C++ interpreter for Rego, the policy language of Open Policy Agent (OPA). It targets Rego v1.17.1 and is designed for embedding policy evaluation directly into C++ applications, as well as for use from C, Rust, Python, and .NET via language wrappers. The interpreter is built on top of Trieste, a term-rewriting framework from Microsoft Research. Evaluation proceeds by parsing Rego source into an AST and then iteratively rewriting it through a series of compiler passes until a…

Release validation may run on Windows as well as Linux. Keep filesystem code and tests cross-platform: use .NET path APIs instead of hard-coded separators, specify UTF-8 when text APIs would otherwise use platform-default encodings, and avoid locale-dependent or Unix-only filesystem assumptions.

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.
