When reviewing PRs, address general code review criteria, but also specifically the following questions: What is it trying to do? Is it correct? Are there bugs? Are there omissions? Are there better ways of doing things? Should this CL be approved?

trigger.dev

triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This is the repo for Trigger.dev, a background jobs platform written in TypeScript. Our webapp at apps/webapp is a Remix 2.1 app that uses Node.js v20. Our SDK is an isomorphic TypeScript SDK at packages/trigger-sdk. Always prefer using isomorphic code like fetch, ReadableStream, etc. instead of Node.js specific code. Our tests are all vitest. We use prisma in internal-packages/database for our database interactions using PostgreSQL. For TypeScript, we usually use types over interfaces. We use zod a lot in packages/core…

claude-obsidian

AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian/.github/copilot-instructions.md

Read AGENTS.md before proposing changes. The repository is an Agent Skills package, Claude Code adapter, standard-library Python core, and deterministic vault template—not the default live user vault. When editing: - Keep skill frontmatter to exactly name and single-line description. - Use Obsidian Flavored Markdown, flat YAML properties, and YYYY-MM-DD dates. - Never modify existing raw source payloads. - Route all logical knowledge mutations through one inspected operation bundle. - Keep workers draft-only and lint/query read-only. - Preserve vault path containment…

cc-haha

NanmiCoder/cc-haha/.github/copilot-instructions.md

Follow the root AGENTS.md and the nearest nested AGENTS.md for the files you edit. Use the root completion and authorization boundaries; consult docs/internals/contributing.md for task-specific testing and failure diagnosis. Continue scoped local implementation, deterministic checks, and fixes without asking at each step.

agent-framework

microsoft/agent-framework/.github/copilot-instructions.md

Microsoft Agent Framework - a multi-language framework for building, orchestrating, and deploying AI agents. ADRs in docs/decisions/ capture significant design decisions and their rationale.

Templates: - adr-template.md - Full template with detailed sections - adr-short-template.md - Abbreviated template for simpler decisions When proposing architectural changes, create an ADR to capture options considered and the decision rationale. See docs/decisions/README.md for the full process.

winget-pkgs

microsoft/winget-pkgs/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This is the Windows Package Manager (WinGet) community repository — a manifest-only repo containing ~415,000+ YAML files describing how to install Windows applications via winget. There is no application source code here. The tooling is PowerShell scripts in Tools/. Never recursively scan or search the manifests/ directory. It contains hundreds of thousands of files and will cause severe performance issues. Only search within the specific package folder being modified (e.g., manifests/m/Microsoft/WindowsTerminal/). Each package version lives in manifests/<first-letter>/<Publisher>/<Package>/<Version>/ and requires three…

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.
