Note: For general AI agent guidelines and repository overview, see AGENTS.md at the repository root. This repo contains Azure SDKs for various Azure services and tools that generate them. Before committing changes to SDK packages under sdk/, always run the pre-commit validation checks described in the pre-commit-checks skill. These checks run dotnet format, regenerate public API listings, update snippets, and regenerate code as needed. They may produce additional file changes that must be included in the commit.

Follow ../AGENTS.md as the canonical repository-wide agent guidance. - Apply the nearest AGENTS.md and every matching path-specific instruction under .github/instructions/. - Load the matching skill under .github/skills/ for specialized work instead of copying its procedure into the conversation or improvising a parallel workflow. - Use the Azure SDK Python Design Guidelines as the authority when a task concerns SDK design or public APIs. - Run azsdkverifysetup before the first operation that depends on Azure SDK MCP tools, not before ordinary…

Microsoft AzureCopilot instructionsAzure/bicep/.github/copilot-instructions.md
Bicep is a DSL for Azure ARM templates. The compiler pipeline is: Lexer → Parser → Binder → Type Checking / Linting → Emitter (ARM JSON). Key classes: Compilation → SemanticModel → TypeManager, Binder, TemplateEmitter. All use lazy evaluation and caching—the language server recreates state per keystroke, so only compute what's requested. .NET SDK version is pinned in global.json (currently .NET 10). Use VS Code tasks (defined in .vscode/tasks.json) for common operations. Integration test datasets live in src/Bicep.Core.Samples/Files/baselines/. Each dataset…

Agent-facing guidance for this repository now lives in AGENTS.md at the repository root. It acts as a resolver: each topic points at its canonical home (skills under .github/skills/, reviewer instructions under .github/instructions/reviewer/, and deep-dive docs under documentation/) so the same rule isn't duplicated across files. Start there. This file is intentionally kept as a lightweight redirect so tooling and pipelines that reference .github/copilot-instructions.md by path continue to resolve during the transition.
