nvx

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

- The integration repository is microsoft/nvx, and its default branch is dev. The nanvix/nvx repository is archived; do not create new branches or pull requests there. Verify configured remotes before pushing. - openvmm/ is a Git submodule that tracks the feature/microvm/dev branch of microsoft/openvmm. For OpenVMM source changes, work in the nested repository and follow its instructions. For an NVX pin promotion, use the nvx-promote-openvmm-pin skill: keep the gitlink commit gitlink-only unless the task explicitly requires coordinated NVX changes, and…

CopilotStudioSamples

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

This repo uses Just the Docs (Jekyll theme) to generate a documentation site with sidebar navigation and full-text search. Solutions follow the PnP format: Front matter: README should include: what it does, screenshots in assets/, import steps, connection references to configure, known issues. Update authoring/solutions/README.md Contents table after adding. Add external_url to front matter. This shows a "View sample in M365 Agents SDK repo" button instead of "Browse source on GitHub": Add a red label and caution callout: Jekyll doesn't…

BCTech / EscapeRoomApp

microsoft/BCTech/non production apps/EscapeRoomApp/.github/copilot-instructions.md

The BCTalent.EscapeRoom framework (ID range 73920-73999) enables developers to create gamified, task-validated learning experiences inside Business Central.

Always use the vjeko-al-objid tool (getNextObjectId) before creating any AL object to reserve a unique object…

teams-sdk

microsoft/teams-sdk/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This is a TypeScript CLI tool (teams) for managing Microsoft Teams apps. It uses Commander.js for command parsing, MSAL for auth, and talks to TDP (Teams Developer Portal) APIs. Be extremely concise — sacrifice grammar for brevity. Every comment MUST include an importance level prefix: Use logger from src/utils/logger.ts for all output. Never use console.log/console.error directly (except inside logger.ts and json-output.ts). For error conditions, throw CliError from src/utils/errors.ts. Wrap command .action() handlers with wrapAction() — it catches CliError and unknown…

Run ASH (Automated Security Helper) security scans via MCP — Bandit, Semgrep, detect-secrets, Checkov, Grype, Syft, and more across Python, JS, IaC, and dependencies. ASH (Automated Security Helper) combines code, infrastructure, secrets, and dependency scanners behind one MCP interface. Its MCP server runs a scan in the background: you start it, poll it until it ends, then read the results. This skill assumes the server is connected; the plugin that ships this skill configures it. The server scans on the…

azure-genai-design-patterns

microsoft/azure-genai-design-patterns/.github/copilot-instructions.md

When creating, updating, or reviewing assets in microsoft/agenticai-design-patterns, follow these mandatory repository conventions and docs/contribution-guide.md: Never place an asset directly at assets/<asset-id>/. Every asset must reside inside one of the eight categories under assets/: - m365-and-copilot - security-and-governance - landing-zones-and-infra - agent-runtime - ai-gateway - orchestration-and-workflows - agentops-and-readiness - data-and-tools (planned: the folder is created with the first asset) Before creating a new asset, check whether an existing asset should be extended instead; docs/production-readiness-map.md lists where planned-category topics live today.

Do not comment on routine package index updates. Automated version, date, link, and row-order updates in _data/releases/ do not need review commentary. The sole exception is the package-naming review pilot: on new rows or changed ServiceName/DisplayName fields in _data/releases/latest/*-packages.csv, follow release CSV naming instructions. Suggest supported friendly-name corrections or ask the owner to confirm unknown names. Do not flag pre-existing names on version-only updates. Copilot is advisory.

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?
