The following instructions are only to be applied when performing a code review. Use .github/skills/code-review/SKILL.md for repository-fit, differentiation, provenance, validation, and editorial-quality review criteria. Apply the deterministic file-format checks below as well. Only apply to files that end in .prompt.md Only apply to files that end in .instructions.md Only apply to files that end in .agent.md Only apply to folders in the skills/ directory Only apply to directories in the plugins/ directory
This is the GitHub MCP Server, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI tools to GitHub's platform. It enables AI agents to manage repositories, issues, pull requests, workflows, and more through natural language. Key Details: - Language: Go 1.24+ (~38k lines of code) - Type: MCP server application with CLI interface - Primary Package: github-mcp-server (stdio MCP server - this is the main focus) - Secondary Package: mcpcurl (testing utility - don't break it, but not the priority)…
You are working on a project that uses Squad, an AI team framework. When picking up issues autonomously, follow these guidelines. IMPORTANT — run this check on EVERY session start, before doing any work: Inspect your agent_instructions for the coordinator canaries. This is a two-state payload-integrity check within a known Squad coordinator session; it verifies whether the coordinator payload loaded fully or was visibly truncated. It is not proof that an agent with no canaries is safely non-Squad — wholly…
These instructions guide GitHub Copilot when working in this repository. This is a beginner-friendly educational course teaching GitHub Copilot CLI. The repo contains Markdown chapters (00–07), Python/C#/JavaScript sample apps, and supporting assets (images, demo GIFs, glossary). It is not a software product — it is technical courseware. These patterns were mined from actual PR review feedback and represent recurring maintainer expectations: Every chapter (00–07) follows the same pattern in its README.md: Do not deviate from this structure when editing or…
The CodeQL Action is used in GitHub Actions workflows to run CodeQL scans using the CodeQL CLI. The main codebase of the CodeQL Action is written in TypeScript and compiled to JavaScript. Both the TypeScript sources and the generated JavaScript code are contained in this repository. The TypeScript sources are contained in the src directory and the JavaScript code is contained in the lib directory. A GitHub Actions workflow checks that the JavaScript code in lib is up-to-date. Therefore, you…
A Go CLI extension (gh stack) for managing stacked branches and pull requests. Uses Cobra for commands, bubbletea/lipgloss for TUI, and stretchr/testify for tests. No Makefile, no code generation, no external linter config. Standard Go toolchain only. For full architecture details, see AGENTS.md in the repository root.
