One search for your own team's files and the public ecosystem. See how real projects write their agent instructions, and bring the good ideas home.
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.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/label-scheme-management/SKILL.md
USE FOR: curating the label vocabulary a repository uses — adding ones it lacks, auditing which are actually applied, renaming and recolouring them, merging overlapping ones, and tidying away the unused. NOT FOR: applying an existing label to an issue, or deciding which issues matter.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/notification-triage/SKILL.md
USE FOR: working through a GitHub notification inbox — deciding what needs a reply, what to unsubscribe from, and what to mark read or done. NOT FOR: triaging a repository issue backlog, or answering review threads on one specific pull request.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/project-planning/SKILL.md
USE FOR: planning and updating work on a GitHub Projects board — reading fields and views, adding issues or pull requests as items, setting status and iteration, and posting a status update. NOT FOR: triaging a repository issue backlog, or preparing a release.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/pull-request-authoring/SKILL.md
USE FOR: taking a branch of work through to landed — opening the pull request, describing it, requesting reviewers, keeping it current with its base, and merging it once checks and approvals are in. NOT FOR: reviewing someone else's proposal, or acting on review comments left on yours.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/pull-request-code-review/SKILL.md
USE FOR: examining someone else's pull request and delivering a verdict — reading the diff in context, leaving line-anchored comments as a batch, and approving or requesting changes. NOT FOR: replying to review comments left on your own change, or opening and merging one.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/pull-request-review-feedback/SKILL.md
USE FOR: working through review feedback left on a pull request — reading each unresolved thread, deciding what to change, replying to the reviewer, and resolving threads. NOT FOR: producing a review of a pull request, merging one, or clearing a notification inbox.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/release-preparation/SKILL.md
USE FOR: cutting a release of a repository — picking the version, assembling the changelog since the last tag, confirming the branch is releasable, and drafting release notes. NOT FOR: assessing overall repository health, triaging security alerts, or working an issue backlog.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/repository-content-changes/SKILL.md
USE FOR: changing what a repository holds or whether it exists at all — opening a working branch, committing files remotely, deleting what should go, and creating, forking or removing the repository itself. NOT FOR: proposing those changes for review, or reading code you do not intend to touch.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/repository-discovery/SKILL.md
USE FOR: finding a library, tool or organisation you cannot yet name, judging whether a candidate project is worth depending on, and keeping a starred shortlist useful. NOT FOR: searching inside a repository you have already chosen, or setting one up.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/repository-health-review/SKILL.md
USE FOR: judging how well a repository is maintained overall — release cadence, branch and proposal age, issue inflow, build reliability, how many people can maintain it, and outstanding alert counts. NOT FOR: acting on any individual issue, alert or proposed change, or cutting a specific release.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/security-alert-triage/SKILL.md
USE FOR: investigating GitHub security alerts — code scanning, Dependabot, secret scanning and advisories — and deciding what to fix now, schedule, dismiss, or escalate. NOT FOR: summarising overall repository health, or reviewing feedback on a pull request.
GitHubSkillgithub/github-mcp-server/pkg/skills/catalog/skills/workflow-failure-triage/SKILL.md
USE FOR: diagnosing a failing GitHub Actions workflow run — a build gone red, which jobs failed, what their logs say, where the failing step is, and whether a rerun is justified. NOT FOR: judging long-term reliability trends across a repository, or deciding whether a change is ready to ship.

This directory is the Java SDK's Maven reactor. Paths and commands below are relative to this directory, whether it is nested at src/sdk/java or exported as java. Keep API usage examples in README.md, the SDK documentation, and public Javadoc rather than duplicating them in these contributor instructions. - sdk/src/main/java/ contains the handwritten client, session, and RPC APIs. sdk/src/test/java/ contains unit and integration tests. - sdk/src/generated/java/ contains generated protocol and event types. - copilot-native/ packages platform-specific runtime artifacts separately from the…
GitHubAGENTS.mdgithub/copilot-sdk/rust/AGENTS.md
This directory contains the independent github-copilot-sdk crate. Paths and Cargo commands below are relative to this directory, and this crate's own lockfile and toolchain apply. The runtime CLI consumes the same sources through the Bazel integration described under Development. The runtime's N-API architecture does not otherwise govern this crate. - Use the existing Error and ErrorKind in src/errors.rs. Extend that public error contract instead of adding parallel per-module error types or returning anyhow::Error from library APIs. - Treat exported types,…

When writing commit messages, follow the requirements in the Commit message conventions section of CONTRIBUTING.md.
GitHubSkillgithub/codeql/.github/skills/bazel/SKILL.md
Conventions for editing Bazel files in the github/codeql repository: the shared `misc/bazel` helpers, `codeql_platform_select` and the `{CODEQL_PLATFORM}` packaging placeholder, adding `MODULE.bazel` dependencies, and the `semmle_code` stub that keeps the standalone build working. Use when editing any `BUILD.bazel`, `*.bzl`, `MODULE.bazel` or `.bazelrc` here, and before validating such an edit.
GitHubAGENTS.mdgithub/codeql/unified/AGENTS.md
This is a CodeQL extractor that maps a language's parse tree onto a shared AST using the yeast desugaring engine. Swift, the only language so far, is parsed by Apple's swift-syntax rather than by tree-sitter. - The raw parse tree's shape is described by extractor/swift_node_types.yml, which is generated from swift-syntax by swift-syntax-rs/schemagen. Do not edit it by hand; regenerate it with scripts/regenerate-node-types.sh after changing the pinned swift-syntax version, then review the diff alongside the mapping in extractor/src/languages/swift/swift.rs. - To run…
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.
