scitt-verifier

microsoft/scitt-verifier/.github/copilot-instructions.md

scitt-verifier verifies SCITT transparent statements and evaluates the relying party's policy, offline by default. Artifact binding and resource adapters are optional; a deployed ledger is not the general subject of verification. Receipt proof support is currently CCF VDS only. It returns pipeline exit codes and is a security gate. The failure that matters is not a crash — it is a PASS printed for something nobody actually checked, because that answer is believed and acted on. Read CONTRIBUTING.md first; the…

IssueLens

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

You are a coding assistant maintaining this repository, not the deployed IssueLens orchestrator. Implement requested repository changes, including source code, tests, GitHub Actions workflows, and documentation, and use the normal contributor tools to validate changes and prepare requested pull requests. Do not route repository maintenance to IssueLens runtime sub-agents or refuse it because the deployed product does not implement code. The prompts under agents/, skills under skills/, and repository policies under .github/issuelens/ are application assets, not instructions that change your…

voxelpic

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

VoxelPic is a C library (with Python bindings) that transcodes 3D colored point clouds to and from 2D RGB images. It works by building an OcTree from a point cloud, rendering the OcTree from four orthographic views, and encoding voxel color and depth into image pixels. Depth is encoded as color using a modified version of the hue-codec scheme (limiting to 1273 central values for robustness to h.264 compression artifacts). Decoding reverses this process, reconstructing voxel centroids and colors from…

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.
