XBOX-Godot-Sample

microsoft/XBOX-Godot-Sample/.github/copilot-instructions.md

XBOX Godot Sample is a repository of Godot 4.x GDExtension addons for Windows gaming integrations around the Microsoft public GDK. Current addon targets: Each addon owns its own CMakeLists.txt. The root CMakeLists.txt is a thin superproject that wires the addon-local targets together. Debug and Release use separate configure presets and binary directories because godot-cpp's GODOTCPP_TARGET is a configure-time cache variable. Every configure preset has a -release sibling (default-release, gdk-only-release, playfab-only-release, gameinput-only-release, addon-package-release, installed-gdk-release). cmake --build build --config Release is guarded…

duroxide

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

A durable execution runtime for Rust. Key docs: docs/ORCHESTRATION-GUIDE.md, docs/provider-implementation-guide.md. NEVER commit or push without explicit user permission. Always ask before running git commit or git push. ALWAYS use nextest for running tests. This is mandatory - nextest provides faster execution and better output. Only fall back to cargo test if nextest is not available. Never use cargo test when cargo nt works. NEVER dismiss a failing test as a "pre-existing flake" and move on. Flaky tests block progress and…

microsoft/MicroHack/03-Azure/01-04-AI/02_Inventory_Planning_Fabric/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This workspace is a microhack lab for the EMEA MicroHack platform (microsoft/MicroHack). The platform renders a front-end UI, but all resource provisioning comes from labautomation/deploy-lab.ps1. Without a working deployment script, no resources appear in the Azure portal — the platform is just a shiny front end. The platform skips the script if the parameter block does not exactly match: Write a hashtable to the output stream — the platform captures it and shows it on the user's dashboard: Labs must…

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.
