This is a Lerna monorepo using npm workspaces. All packages are under packages/. Always use npm ci to restore the dependencies required by the repository. Do not use npm install as a substitute for restoring the existing lockfile. Only core contributors may add or update dependencies. Before changing a dependency, core contributors must run ./scripts/configure-private-npm-feed.ps1 to configure and authenticate the private Azure Artifacts npm feed and clear the npm cache. Dependency changes must be resolved through that feed to ensure…

These instructions guide GitHub Copilot to follow our project's conventions and best practices when suggesting code. They cover how to format code, name resources and attributes, structure implementations, and write tests in this repository. By following these guidelines, Copilot's suggestions should align with the project's style and help contributors produce high-quality, consistent code. Always consider existing patterns in the repository—when in doubt, review similar resources or tests for reference and keep the new code idiomatic to the project's practices. Each…

Microsoft.WinGet.CommandNotFound is a PowerShell 7 feedback provider module that suggests WinGet packages when a native command isn't found, surfacing them via PowerShell's predictive IntelliSense (command-line predictor). If the module is already loaded in your session, start a fresh session with pwsh -NoProfile before importing a newly built copy.

Fabric Jumpstart is a monorepo providing ready-to-run accelerators, demos, and tutorials for Microsoft Fabric. Users discover and install self-contained Fabric solutions via a Python CLI library or browse them on a companion website. The repo is managed with Nx and contains two projects: Each sub-project also has its own CONTRIBUTING.md with project-specific setup, quality checks, and workflows: - src/fabricjumpstart/CONTRIBUTING.md — Python library only (adding jumpstarts, dev setup) - src/fabricjumpstart_web/CONTRIBUTING.md — Website & Python via WSL (dev setup, conventions) The majority…

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 select concrete agents and inject them into evaluation pipelines through AgentRunner; pipelines must…

MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/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: gettotalcores(), getcomputesize(), getjobcost(durationms), createschemaifnot_exists(), appendresultstodelta(). Runtime is auto-detected at init via detectruntime() — returns "fabric", "synapse", "databricks", "colab", or "local_unknown". The result schema includes: runid, rundatetime, `lakebe

This is a Microsoft Build 2026 session content repository. If GUIDANCE.md exists in this repo, the repo has not yet been fully set up. When a content creator asks for help preparing the repo, read GUIDANCE.md and follow its instructions. The setup uses a three-phase model: When the creator asks for help, determine which phase they want to work on. You can detect this based on what's already filled in: - If the README still has placeholder text (BRKXXX, "Add…

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.
MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/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…
