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
7 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 7 are very specific to this project.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

Build & Install: Use pip install . or python -m build from the project root.

Testing: Run pytest or python run_tests.py to execute all tests.

Docker: Use docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile for containerized development and deployment.

All source code is under src/ (not the project root).

Use pyproject.toml for dependency and build management.

Place new tests in tests/unit/ mirroring the source structure.

Run all tests with pytest or python run_tests.py.
≈ “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 AI Coding Agents
Project Overview
- This project is a Python-based server and client SDK for SignNow API integration, organized under
src/. - Major components:
sn_mcp_server/: Main server logic, CLI, authentication, and tool integrations.signnow_client/: Handles SignNow API communication, models, and utility functions.examples/: Usage examples for different frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, SmolAgents).tests/: Unit tests, organized by module.
Key Workflows
- Build & Install: Use
pip install .orpython -m buildfrom the project root. - Testing: Run
pytestorpython run_tests.pyto execute all tests. Test modules are undertests/unit/. - Development: Main code is in
src/. Use theMakefilefor common tasks if present. - Docker: Use
docker-compose.ymlandDockerfilefor containerized development and deployment.
Project Conventions
- All source code is under
src/(not the project root). - Each tool in
sn_mcp_server/tools/is a self-contained integration for a specific SignNow feature. - Models for API payloads are in
signnow_client/models/. - Configuration is handled via
config.pyin each main package. - Use
pyproject.tomlfor dependency and build management.
Integration & Patterns
- The server (
sn_mcp_server/server.py) loads tools dynamically fromsn_mcp_server/tools/. - Authentication logic is in
sn_mcp_server/auth.pyandsn_mcp_server/token_provider.py. - Client logic for SignNow API is abstracted in
signnow_client/client.pyand submodules. - Example scripts demonstrate integration patterns for external frameworks.
Examples
- To add a new tool, create a module in
sn_mcp_server/tools/and register it insn_mcp_server/app.py. - To extend API models, add to
signnow_client/models/and update relevant client methods.
Testing
- Place new tests in
tests/unit/mirroring the source structure. - Run all tests with
pytestorpython run_tests.py.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
