≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 3,779 Copilot instructions files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Copilot instructions for AgentHosting.Cli
Read and follow root CONTRIBUTING.md before changing this repository. It is the authoritative contributor guide for project architecture, dependency boundaries, build/test commands, CLI contracts, safety, and documentation maintenance. Keep agent instructions consistent with it rather than maintaining a second copy of contributor policy here.
This repository builds Microsoft.Agents.Hosting.Cli, the framework-dependent
msagent .NET tool. It is not the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK, an ASP.NET Core
agent application, or the agent-hosting runtime. Do not import those projects'
layouts or release assumptions.
Use the developer reference for host configuration and feature controls. Detailed references are:
- Telemetry: schema, privacy, routing, and counting.
- Comparison: scoped offline fixture contracts.
- Manual testing: approved live checks and records.
For code review, also follow the applicable files in .github/instructions/.
For writing agent projects with the installed CLI, use
docs/agent.md, not contributor instructions.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
