The file

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

9 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 6

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use Conventional Commits 1.0.0: <type>(<scope>): <description>.

    line 10
  2. Very specific:

    Use only durable public identifiers: this repo's release tags (vX.Y.Z), this repo's GitHub issue/PR numbers (#N), and locally-documented …

    line 11
  3. Very specific:

    Default PR target: the active release/vX.Y.Z branch.

    line 13
  4. Distinctive:

    No internal identifiers, no abbreviations that wouldn't make sense to someone reading the repo for the first time.

    line 18
  5. Very specific:

    Follow the existing patterns in src/.

    line 22
  6. Very specific:

    Don't reference internal-looking identifiers or paths in commits, code comments, or PR descriptions.

    line 28
  7. Distinctive:

    Don't introduce dependencies without checking the project's existing stack — extra deps need explicit justification.

    line 29
  8. Very specific:

    Don't suggest --no-verify to skip the local commit-message hook except in maintainer-approved emergencies.

    line 30
  9. Distinctive:

    Default to omitting the uncertain reference.

    line 34

≈ “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 — engrava-mcp

Public repository (engrava-mcp) — Model Context Protocol server exposing Engrava as agent memory.

License: MIT. Primary language: python 3.11+.

Commit messages

  • Use Conventional Commits 1.0.0: <type>(<scope>): <description>. See CLAUDE.md for the type table.
  • Use only durable public identifiers: this repo's release tags (vX.Y.Z), this repo's GitHub issue/PR numbers (#N), and locally-documented ADRs (docs/adr/ADR-NNN-*.md after the file exists here).
  • Generic feature descriptions are welcome; concise imperative subject lines preferred (max 72 chars).
  • Default PR target: the active release/vX.Y.Z branch. This repo has no dev branch; the version is set by hand in pyproject.toml and server.json, CHANGELOG.md is hand-maintained, and a release is a manual vX.Y.Z tag on main.

Branch names

  • Format: <type>/<kebab-description>. Plain English. ≤ 50 chars.
  • No internal identifiers, no abbreviations that wouldn't make sense to someone reading the repo for the first time.

Code style

  • Follow the existing patterns in src/. Read 3-5 nearby files before introducing a new pattern.
  • Adhere to the quality bar described in CLAUDE.md — linting clean, typing strict, coverage above threshold, no shortcuts.
  • Match the project's existing naming, file layout, and import conventions; don't invent new structures unprompted.

What to avoid

  • Don't reference internal-looking identifiers or paths in commits, code comments, or PR descriptions. If something feels like it belongs to a private workflow, leave it out and the maintainer can add a public mapping (a #N issue/PR reference) later.
  • Don't introduce dependencies without checking the project's existing stack — extra deps need explicit justification.
  • Don't suggest --no-verify to skip the local commit-message hook except in maintainer-approved emergencies.

When you're unsure

Default to omitting the uncertain reference. Ask the maintainer in a PR comment or a draft message. The local commit-message hook gives you a fast feedback loop on commit-message hygiene; pay attention to its output.
