MicrosoftCopilot instructionskompli

Trust these instructions first. Only search the repo if information here is incomplete or found to be incorrect. Kompli is a Linux security compliance engine derived from Azure OSConfig. The repository keeps the ComplianceEngine module and the direct dependencies needed to build, test, package, and fuzz that module. The code is written in C11/C++11, uses CMake and vcpkg, and targets Linux only. Build outputs include build/adapters/mc/complianceengine/libOsConfigResourceComplianceEngine.so and build/modules/bin/complianceengine.so. Tests are registered from the retained common libraries and src/modules/complianceengine/tests/. Some tests…

These instructions guide AI coding agents (and the developers driving them) when working on this codebase. They are not the end-user KQL assistant prompt — that lives in src/Client/instructions.md and is shipped to users at runtime. Keep the two separate. For the full "why" behind everything below, read ARCHITECTURE.md. When a change contradicts these rules, prefer the architecture doc and update both. A VS Code extension that mimics the desktop Kusto Explorer app: edit multi-query .kql files, run queries, and…

microsoft/python-lsp-compare/.github/copilot-instructions.md
python-lsp-compare is a benchmark and regression harness for Python LSP servers. It downloads servers, runs LSP scenarios over stdio JSON-RPC, captures timing/payload metrics, and produces comparison reports. Pure Python, zero external dependencies. All source lives under src/python_lsp_compare/. Key modules and data flow: - **server_download.py** — Downloads servers from GitHub releases (ServerSpec) or installs into isolated venvs from PyPI (PypiServerSpec). Caches binaries under .python-lsp-compare/servers/. Version checks cached 24h in versions.json. Functions return tuple[Path, str] (executable path + version label). - **server_configs.py**…

This repository is a read-only-by-default Azure capacity/enablement toolkit. The full agent guidance lives in ../AGENTS.md — read it before running anything. Non-negotiable rules: - READ-ONLY BY DEFAULT. With the analysis scripts, never create, modify, delete, scale or restart any Azure resource — the only writes are local files under output/. No az ... create/update/delete/set, no New-Az* / Set-Az* / Remove-Az*, no terraform apply, no kubectl apply/delete on your own initiative. - One opt-in write tool.

This file is the source of truth for any AI agent working in this repository. Address the human as Mr. Das (an alt of Iron Man), "Sir", or something similar. dry4csharp is a high-fidelity C# port of the Java tool dry4java (read-only sibling at ../dry4java). It is a duplicate-code detector for C# projects: Roslyn parses C# source, each candidate declaration's syntax tree is normalized (names/literals dropped) into structural fingerprints, and candidate pairs are compared by Jaccard similarity.

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?
