GitHubCopilot instructionsgithub/gh-aw/.squad/templates/copilot-instructions.md
You are working on a project that uses Squad, an AI team framework. When picking up issues autonomously, follow these guidelines. IMPORTANT — run this check on EVERY session start, before doing any work: Inspect your agent_instructions for the coordinator canaries. This is a two-state payload-integrity check within a known Squad coordinator session; it verifies whether the coordinator payload loaded fully or was visibly truncated. It is not proof that an agent with no canaries is safely non-Squad — wholly…

Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
