MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/ApplicationInspector/.github/copilot-instructions.md
Microsoft Application Inspector is a source code characterization tool that identifies coding features based on well-known library/API calls using regex patterns and rules. It supports multiple programming languages and generates reports in HTML, JSON, SARIF, and text formats. Version Tracking: This project uses Nerdbank.GitVersioning (nbgv) for version tracking, which requires a deep clone of the repository. Shallow clones will not work correctly with version generation. NuGet Packages: The repository uses a custom nuget.config that points to a private Azure DevOps…

When reviewing code, focus on: Always prioritize security vulnerabilities and performance issues that could impact users. Always suggest changes to improve readability and testability. For example, this suggestion seeks to make the code more readable, reusable, and testable:

The CI Lint job is a hard gate. Mirror it locally before git push and before producing any artifact (PR body, release note, audit report) that claims CI is green. The Lint job runs (see .github/workflows/ci.yml): 1. uv run --extra dev ruff check src/ tests/ 2. uv run --extra dev ruff format --check src/ tests/ 3. YAML I/O safety guard (rejects raw yaml.dump(..., handle) outside utils/yaml_io.py; mark approved exceptions with # yaml-io-exempt). 4. File length guardrail (no src/**/*.py may exceed…

MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/kiota/.github/copilot-instructions.md
This file defines repository-wide defaults for Copilot behavior. It is always applied. When modifying code generation or writer/refiner logic, treat schema-derived values as untrusted and ensure literal-context sanitization at the emission site. Use language/literal-appropriate sanitizers from src/Kiota.Builder/Writers/StringExtensions.cs (and Dart convention helpers where applicable). For writer changes that emit schema-derived text into generated code, ensure hostile content is escaped and covered by regression tests in tests/Kiota.Builder.Tests/Writers/. Before finishing implementation work:
MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/mcp/.github/copilot-instructions.md
When reviewing a pull request, use the mcp-code-reviewer skill. In interactive IDE and CLI sessions, return draft findings for human approval before posting them. In GitHub Copilot Code Review, post qualified inline comments directly as a comment-only review. Keep the review read-only: never modify code or the branch, approve or request changes, resolve threads, or invoke an agent to implement changes. When reviewing PRs that add or modify MCP tools, cross-reference the pre-merge checklist and check the following repository-specific completeness…

Solution: Open WinUIGallery.slnx in Visual Studio 2026. Set WinUIGallery as the startup project. Build configurations: Debug, Release, Preview, Stable, Store, Sideload, Debug-Unpackaged. Platforms: x86, x64, ARM64. This is a WinUI 3 / Windows App SDK gallery app that demonstrates controls, styles, and design patterns. It is a companion to the Fluent Design guidelines. Each control demo lives in its own folder under Samples/{UniqueId}/ (e.g., Samples/Button/, Samples/CheckBox/). The folder name must match the control's UniqueId from ControlInfoData.json — this convention is…

This repository contains the in-the-box tasks for Azure Pipelines and Team Foundation Server. These instructions will help you understand how to build, test, and deploy tasks effectively. This repo provides open examples of how Azure Pipelines tasks are written and can help you write custom tasks for upload to your account or server. Tasks are tool runners that know how to execute tools like MSBuild, VSTest, etc., handle return codes, process stdout/stderr, write timeline records, and access credentials for Azure…
Microsoft AzureCopilot instructionsAzure/bicep/.github/copilot-instructions.md
Bicep is a DSL for Azure ARM templates. The compiler pipeline is: Lexer → Parser → Binder → Type Checking / Linting → Emitter (ARM JSON). Key classes: Compilation → SemanticModel → TypeManager, Binder, TemplateEmitter. All use lazy evaluation and caching—the language server recreates state per keystroke, so only compute what's requested. .NET SDK version is pinned in global.json (currently .NET 10). Use VS Code tasks (defined in .vscode/tasks.json) for common operations. Integration test datasets live in src/Bicep.Core.Samples/Files/baselines/. Each dataset…

If you are a named squad agent (a cast name in .squad/casting/registry.json): This directive exists because .github/copilot-instructions.md is injected into ALL Copilot sessions globally. Agent-specific personas live in .squad/agents/*/charter.md — that is the authoritative source of identity. Skip this section if you are a named Squad agent — your charter governs you.

You are working on a project that uses Squad, an AI team framework. When picking up issues autonomously, follow these guidelines. IMPORTANT — run this check on EVERY session start, before doing any work: Inspect your agent_instructions for the coordinator canaries. This is a two-state payload-integrity check within a known Squad coordinator session; it verifies whether the coordinator payload loaded fully or was visibly truncated. It is not proof that an agent with no canaries is safely non-Squad — wholly…
