MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/trident/.github/copilot-instructions.md
These instructions apply to Copilot agents working in this repo — both agents writing code and agents reviewing pull requests. The PR-review rules below are review-only. The "Nits" and "Architecture & structural soundness" sections apply to both writers (follow them when generating new code) and reviewers (see Reviewer etiquette for when to surface them). Trident formats with rustfmt (workspace-wide — see rustfmt.toml). Everything below is in addition to cargo fmt and is aspirational: real files don't follow every rule 100%…
MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/vscode-documentdb/.github/copilot-instructions.md
VS Code Extension for Azure Cosmos DB and the MongoDB API. TypeScript (strict mode), React webviews, Jest testing. ⚠️ NEVER use npm run compile - always use npm run build to build the project. There are exactly two cases. Work out which one you are in, then run only that list. For PR-related work, tell the operator which case applies in your handoff. If the PR is still a draft, explicitly say that the full checks (including prettier-fix) were deferred…
MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/eslint-plugin-fluentui-jsx-a11y/.github/copilot-instructions.md
This is @microsoft/eslint-plugin-fluentui-jsx-a11y, a static AST checker (ESLint plugin) that enforces accessibility rules on Fluent UI React v9 (@fluentui/react-components) JSX elements. Rules are written in TypeScript and target specific Fluent UI components to ensure accessible labeling, ARIA usage, and semantic structure. Most accessibility rules in this plugin check whether a component has an accessible label. Use makeLabeledControlRule from lib/util/ruleFactory.ts: When the factory pattern does not fit, use ESLintUtils.RuleCreator.withoutDocs:
MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/Agent365-dotnet/.github/copilot-instructions.md
The Microsoft Agent 365 SDK (C#/.NET) extends the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK with enterprise capabilities across four modules: Observability, Notifications, Runtime, and Tooling. Packages publish to NuGet under the Microsoft.Agents.A365.* prefix. All commands run from the repository root unless noted. Requires the .NET 8.0.100 SDK (pinned in src/global.json). CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) builds and tests in Release with --no-restore/--no-build, then packs. Some Observability/Tooling tests read AZUREOPENAIENDPOINT, AZUREOPENAIAPIKEY, and AZUREOPENAI_DEPLOYMENT from the environment. Pre-commit hooks (.pre-commit-config.yaml, install with pip install pre-commit && pre-commit…

AgentSchema is a TypeSpec-based schema definition project that generates runtime libraries for C#, Python, TypeScript, and Go. The project defines a specification for AI agents with structured metadata, inputs, outputs, tools, and templates. See detailed instructions in .github/instructions/ for specific file types.
MicrosoftCopilot instructionsmicrosoft/Employee-Self-Service-Agent-Developer-Kit/.github/copilot-instructions.md
If GitHub Copilot is reading this file, the user has opened the top-level repo folder (Employee-Self-Service-Agent-Developer-Kit/) as their VS Code workspace root. This repo is a monorepo of solutions. The actual tooling for each solution — slash-commands, agent personas, Python scripts — lives inside individual solution folders under solutions/ (today the canonical one is solutions/ess-maker-skills/; more may be added over time), NOT at this repo root. Slash-commands typed against the repo root will not resolve to any prompt and Copilot…

YOUR VERY FIRST ACTION on every new conversation must be: use your file reading tool to try to read .local/setup/config.json. Do NOT skip this step. Do NOT respond to the user's message first. Do NOT greet the user first. Do NOT list capabilities. Read this file FIRST, then decide what to do based on the result. DA setup is ready only when .local/setup/config.json has schemaversion equal to 4 and its agents entry matching .local/config.json's activeAgent workspace slug has connectready equal…

This document contains instructions for building, testing, and developing the Azure Managed HSM OpenSSL 3.x Provider. Read this section before debugging anything provider-related on Linux. OpenSSL 3.0.2 (the Ubuntu 22.04 default) has a bug in the OSSLSTORE object callback path: EVPKEYMGMT_fetch with a NULL property query string returns the wrong provider's keymgmt, so loading HSM keys via managedhsm: URIs fails with RSA object callback failed (returned 0) or EC object callback failed. Fixed upstream in 3.0.7 (openssl#18221). Recommendation: Ubuntu 24.04+…
Repository-wide instructions for GitHub Copilot, kept in .github/copilot-instructions.md.
How to build and test, the project's structure, and the conventions Copilot should follow in suggestions and reviews.
No. Copilot's coding agent also reads AGENTS.md, so many projects keep the shared rules there.
