REPO REFACTOR — FOUR-STACK LAYOUT IN EFFECT. The original single-stack tree (backend/, frontend/, orchestrator/, infra/, docker-compose.yml at the repo root) has been split into four independently deployable stacks and underscore-prefixed support directories. See _docs/REFACTORING_PLAN.md for the long-form plan; the layout table below is the source of truth for path-specific guidance. | Concern | Location | |--------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| | Submitters stack (active)| submitters/{backend,frontend,orchestrator}/ | | Receivers stack | receivers/{backend,frontend,orchestrator}/ | | Platform stack (phase-0) | platform/main.py, platform/docker-compose.yml| | Providers stack (phase-0)| providers/main.py,…

This repository is a read-only-by-default Azure capacity/enablement toolkit. The full agent guidance lives in ../AGENTS.md — read it before running anything. Non-negotiable rules: - READ-ONLY BY DEFAULT. With the analysis scripts, never create, modify, delete, scale or restart any Azure resource — the only writes are local files under output/. No az ... create/update/delete/set, no New-Az* / Set-Az* / Remove-Az*, no terraform apply, no kubectl apply/delete on your own initiative. - One opt-in write tool. Deploy-QuotaGroups.ps1 (with New-QuotaGroupConfig.ps1) provisions quota…

The main notebook applications/storm_impact_assessment/hurricane_forecast_infra_impact.ipynb is 1.57 MB / 19K JSON lines / 71 cells with 1.07 MB of embedded outputs. This exceeds VS Code's diff editor limits and causes Copilot edit tools (edit_notebook_file, replace_string_in_file) to fail silently or produce corrupt edits. When making complex edits with multiline old/new text:

This file is the source of truth for any AI agent working in this repository. Address the human as Mr. Das (an alt of Iron Man), "Sir", or something similar. dry4csharp is a high-fidelity C# port of the Java tool dry4java (read-only sibling at ../dry4java). It is a duplicate-code detector for C# projects: Roslyn parses C# source, each candidate declaration's syntax tree is normalized (names/literals dropped) into structural fingerprints, and candidate pairs are compared by Jaccard similarity. Product intent, locked…

This is a dependency-free static site with no configured build, test, or lint scripts. There is no automated test suite or single-test command. Validate changes in a browser at desktop and mobile widths, including both color themes, search filtering, sticky navigation links, and expanding/collapsing resource sections. Always update CHANGELOG.md with additions/removals from the sites. Follow the Keep a Changelog convention at https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/. When updating CHANGELOG.md, make sure there is a newline between the header and the paragraph text.

These instructions apply to every AI agent session working on this repository, regardless of platform (Linux, Windows, macOS) or context window state. Read this file in its entirety before making any changes. AI can produce code very fast, but bad code is more expensive than ever: a codebase that is hard to change is a codebase where AI compounds entropy on every iteration. Optimize for a codebase that is easy to change, easy to test, and easy to reason about.…

This is the repository's only agent instruction file. Read docs/quality-spec.md before changing code. It is the general quality standard for durable engineering principles, not an implementation manual or a catalog of current technical contracts. Keep it focused on correctness, security, reliability, maintainability, performance, testing, and documentation standards. Do not add file layouts, workflow matrices, exact implementation behavior, incident histories, or step-by-step operational instructions. Keep executable contracts in source, tests, build configuration, and workflows; keep contributor procedures in contributor documentation. Update…

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?
