  • Where files are headingNew Copilot instructions files have more rules about branches and pull requests, and fewer about code style.

    Of the Copilot instructions files we read, the 2,349 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.

The file

We split this copilot-instructions.md into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  1. Very specific:

    Before editing, read AGENTS.md, the nearest module-level AGENTS.md, docs/architecture.md, and the affected tests.

    line 7
  2. Distinctive:

    Every implementation must preserve these invariants:

    line 11
  3. Very specific:

    only FixLab-owned processes and artifact directories may be removed.

    line 14
  4. Very specific:

    Use npm run validate as the repository-wide completion gate.

    line 21

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Copilot instructions for FixLab

FixLab is a product-neutral Agency Copilot plugin and CLI for evidence-backed defect validation across React frontends and .NET backends. Consumer-specific product names and boundaries must remain outside the reusable product.

Before editing, read AGENTS.md, the nearest module-level AGENTS.md, docs/architecture.md, and the affected tests. Preserve unrelated worktree changes. Prefer focused changes and existing helpers over new dependencies.

Every implementation must preserve these invariants:

  • local listeners bind to 127.0.0.1;
  • only FixLab-owned processes and artifact directories may be removed;
  • credentials, private data, browser state, and authorization headers never enter source, prompts, logs, responses, or durable caches;
  • required validation gates pass or are explicitly reported as blocked, failed, timed out, or skipped with risk;
  • repository-specific behavior remains in profiles, templates, or examples.

Use npm run validate as the repository-wide completion gate. Add focused node:test coverage for behavioral changes and update directly related documentation. Pull requests must use the repository template and identify validation evidence, skipped gates, and security or compatibility risks.
