SharePoint-Embedded-VS-Code-Extension

microsoft/SharePoint-Embedded-VS-Code-Extension/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This repository is a VS Code extension for managing SharePoint Embedded resources from a dedicated activity bar container and tree views. The core flows are signing into an admin Microsoft 365 tenant, creating a trial container type, registering it on the local tenant, managing owning and guest apps, exporting Postman configuration, and operating on containers from the Development tree. Paid/Standard and direct-to-customer (D2C) container type support — including the Azure billing setup — is in active development (branch aljordac/paid-container-type-support).

dragon-copilot-extension-samples

microsoft/dragon-copilot-extension-samples/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This repository contains sample code and tools for developing Dragon Copilot Extensions - plugins that extend the functionality of Dragon Copilot, a medical AI platform for clinical documentation and healthcare workflows. Extensions authenticate in one of two directions. Determine which applies before writing or changing auth code. Clinical Application Connectors don't use auth.tenantId. See connector/QUICKSTART.md for their server and client authentication. These apply only when Dragon Copilot calls the partner's endpoint, not when a Radiologists partnerInitiated tool calls Dragon Copilot.

durabletask-js

microsoft/durabletask-js/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This document provides architectural context for AI assistants working with this codebase. Focus is on stable patterns, invariants, and pitfalls — not file paths or function signatures. The Durable Task SDK for JavaScript/TypeScript enables writing long-running, stateful workflows as code. It is the JavaScript implementation of Microsoft's cross-language Durable Task Framework (sibling SDKs exist in .NET, Python, Java, Go). This is NOT Azure Durable Functions. It's a lower-level SDK for the Azure Durable Task Scheduler service (or its emulator). The…

AgentPlatformAdvisor

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

A static single-page web app — no build step, no backend, no framework, no modules — deployed to GitHub Pages. index.html contains the markup for every section up front; assets/apa.js fetches apa.yaml at runtime, parses it with the js-yaml CDN script into one global apa object, and swaps sections with showSection(). Views are built as template-literal HTML strings assigned to innerHTML. All state and functions are file-level globals in assets/apa.js. Key files: - apa.yaml — source of truth for all…

jbang-catalog

microsoft/jbang-catalog/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This is a static JBang catalog repository. The root jbang-catalog.json is the primary artifact; it defines user-facing JBang aliases under aliases and currently leaves templates present but empty. Each alias maps a short name to a script-ref, which may be a remote JAR URL, Maven coordinate, or remote Java source file. Optional metadata such as description, java, and java-options controls how JBang presents and launches the alias. There is no application source tree or project build file; repository changes normally…

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?
