MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/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…
MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/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…
MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/agentic-factory-hack/.github/copilot-instructions.md
This repo is used for a workshop/exercise. If such folders exist in the workspace, treat them as off-limits. This workshop must work reliably with smaller models (e.g., GPT-5-mini). Follow these constraints: Add brief comments explaining C#-specific idioms: - ?? and ??= operators (null coalescing) - Primary constructors - await using (like Python's async with)

MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/BC-Bench/.github/copilot-instructions.md
This is a benchmark for evaluating coding agents on real-world Business Central (AL) development tasks, inspired by SWE-Bench. Unlike traditional model benchmarks, BC-Bench is designed to help select models and rapidly iterate on mcp servers, custom instruction/agents, etc for engineers. The repository contains: Preserve one-way dependency flow from orchestration toward lower-level abstractions. Keep domain and result models independent of runtime code. CLI commands are composition roots: they construct concrete agent harnesses (bcbench_core.agent.harness.AgentHarness) and inject them into evaluation pipelines; pipelines must…
