microsoft/Build26-LAB501-from-zero-to-deployed-on-azure-with-ai-agents/src/.github/copilot-instructions.md

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.

LakeBench

microsoft/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: get_total_cores(), get_compute_size(), get_job_cost(duration_ms), create_schema_if_not_exists(), _append_results_to_delta(). Runtime is auto-detected at init via _detect_runtime() — returns "fabric", "synapse", "databricks", "colab", or "local_unknown". The result schema includes: run_id, run_datetime, `lakebe

Trieste

microsoft/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…

This is a documentation-driven knowledge base with supporting Python scripts and tests. The repo provides pre-defined Microsoft Fabric architectures via one orchestrator agent (@fabric-advisor) that delegates to 6 composable skills. ⚠️ MUST parallelize independent work. If task B does not depend on the output of task A, they run in parallel — never sequentially. This applies to tool calls, file operations, and sub-tasks. item-type-registry.json is the single source of truth for all item metadata. Never hardcode or guess values —…

rego-cpp

microsoft/rego-cpp/.github/copilot-instructions.md

rego-cpp is a C++ interpreter for Rego, the policy language of Open Policy Agent (OPA). It targets Rego v1.17.1 and is designed for embedding policy evaluation directly into C++ applications, as well as for use from C, Rust, Python, and .NET via language wrappers. The interpreter is built on top of Trieste, a term-rewriting framework from Microsoft Research. Evaluation proceeds by parsing Rego source into an AST and then iteratively rewriting it through a series of compiler passes until a…

About Copilot instructions

What is 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?
