fhir-server

microsoft/fhir-server/.github/copilot-instructions.md

Core project guidelines, coding standards, and architecture principles are in AGENTS.md at the repo root — read it first. This file adds Copilot-specific skill activation routing and ADR guidance. Activate the relevant skill from .github/skills/ before any architecture task. When creating or updating an ADR in docs/arch/: - Use the create-adr skill. - Cover states, behaviors, outcomes, and edge cases thoroughly. - Reference prior ADRs and the FHIR specification. - If the decision obsoletes a prior ADR, update that ADR…

mxc

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

MXC (Microsoft eXecution Container) is a cross-platform sandboxed code execution system. Prefer precise, scoped changes and preserve existing platform behavior, feature gates, wire compatibility, and failure semantics. The Rust toolchain is pinned by src/rust-toolchain.toml. Run Rust commands from src/ or pass --manifest-path src/Cargo.toml. Prefer the smallest test command covering the change. Host-dependent backend suites live under tests/scripts/; use the applicable backend guide and docs/ci-validation-infrastructure.md before running or changing them. - Production parsing dispatches through exact closed contracts and their version-specific…

waza

microsoft/waza/.squad/copilot-instructions.md

You are working on a project that uses Squad, an AI team framework. When picking up issues autonomously, follow these guidelines. Before starting work on any issue: Before starting work, check your capability profile in .squad/team.md under the Coding Agent → Capabilities section. Use the squad branch convention: Example: squad/42-fix-login-validation When opening a PR: - Reference the issue: Closes #{issue-number} - If the issue had a squad:{member} label, mention the member: Working as {member} ({role}) - If this is a…

You are working on a project that uses Squad, an AI team framework. When picking up issues autonomously or using Squad, follow these guidelines. IMPORTANT — run this check only when the session is expected to use Squad Coordinator behavior, before doing any Squad work: Look for the exact token SQUADCOORDINATORCANARYa8f3 in your agentinstructions. This token is placed at the end of squad.agent.md. If it is missing, the coordinator file is missing or truncated. Do not run this check for…

bernstein

sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein/.github/copilot-instructions.md

Bernstein is the open-source governance layer for AI agents (Python 3.12+), one git worktree per task. There is no model in the coordination loop - the orchestrator is deterministic Python, NOT an LLM - so the same plan replays to a byte-identical task graph. NEVER run uv run pytest tests/ - it leaks 100GB+ RAM. Always use scripts/run_tests.py.

Aegis

GanyuanRan/Aegis/.github/copilot-instructions.md

This repository uses Aegis as method-pack workflow discipline. Before risky implementation, prefer the smallest relevant Aegis skill from .github/skills/ or the linked Aegis skill directories. Keep detailed workflow logic in the skill body rather than duplicating it here. Key repository boundaries: - treat Aegis as Aegis Method Pack (runtime-ready), not a runtime core - keep user instructions and target-project rules above Aegis guidance - do not claim authoritative GateDecision or final completion authority - require fresh verification evidence before completion…

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

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?
