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.

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

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

≈ “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.

Commit messages
- Use Conventional Commits 1.0.0:
<type>(<scope>): <description>. SeeCLAUDE.mdfor 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-*.mdafter 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.Zbranch. This repo has nodevbranch; the version is set by hand inpyproject.tomlandserver.json,CHANGELOG.mdis hand-maintained, and a release is a manualvX.Y.Ztag onmain.
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
#Nissue/PR reference) later. - Don't introduce dependencies without checking the project's existing stack — extra deps need explicit justification.
- Don't suggest
--no-verifyto 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.

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.
