Generate a pull request description for the FAST repository using the provided template.
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.

microsoft/TypeChat/.github/copilot-instructions.md
TypeChat turns natural-language requests into validated, typed data. Preserve schema accuracy, validation behavior, and compatibility when proposing changes. Read GOALS.md before assessing scope or proposing work. It is the primary repository policy for product direction. Use the approved default-branch version; proposed edits in an unmerged PR are not active policy. Only the human project owner, @robgruen, can approve changes to that policy or exceptions to its boundaries. Items under consideration are not approved implementation work. If the policy is unavailable,…

Most code in this repo uses the IFC_RETURN macro to record some information about an HRESULT and return if it's a failure.
microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/.github/skills/build/SKILL.md
Build the WinUI repository. Use when asked to build, compile, or rebuild the project after making code changes.
microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/.github/skills/code-coverage-calculation/SKILL.md
EXPERIMENTAL. Calculate code coverage of a WinUI control or component (for example "calculate coverage of control TitleBar") by running only that component's tests on a local Hyper-V VM against the local build. Supports controls in Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.dll and Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.Tabular.dll, and dxaml types in Microsoft.ui.xaml.dll. Reports per-file and per-function line coverage that matches the ADO Code Coverage tab. Use for "calculate/measure/get coverage of <control>", "how much do <control>'s tests cover", or "coverage before/after my tests" when you have a local build and a VM.
microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/.github/skills/code-review/SKILL.md

EXPERIMENTAL. Run locally built WinUI interaction tests on a Hyper-V VM through PowerShell Direct. Use when asked to run WinUI tests on a local VM.
microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/Samples/TableViewSampleApp/AGENTS.md
The end-user quick start is in README.md. This file records how the sample is wired and why, for anyone maintaining it. The sample used to hand-wire around the product, because TableView's type information was withheld from the public winmd and its theme resources did not resolve in a consuming app. It linked raw build output, regenerated its own CsWinRT projection, injected a XAML metadata provider, seeded an internal template part into XamlTypeInfo, compiled the control's theme resources out of the…

microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/src/.github/skills/bt-build/SKILL.md
Fast incremental C++/MSBuild builds using bt. Use when the user wants to compile, build, check what's dirty, or query build dependencies in a repo that has .vcxproj files. Prefer bt over invoking MSBuild directly for inner-loop source changes (.cpp, .h, .idl, .xaml, .appxmanifest).
microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/src/.github/skills/test-suite-setup/SKILL.md
Complete end-to-end setup and execution of the WinUI3 test suite locally. Delegates building to the build skill, then handles test payload creation, machine setup, and running all tests.
microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/tools/WinUIProfiler/skills/analyze-session/SKILL.md
Opens a WinUI Profiler session file (.sqlite) and answers questions about a WinUI 3 app's performance from it with the winui-profiler tools: how the launch went, UI-thread ticks and slow ticks, regions of interest (navigations, flyouts and dialogs opening, focus changes), and the UI elements and composition visuals the events mention. Use it when someone asks why a WinUI app is slow to start or draws slowly, what a tick did, what happened around a navigation or to an element, or what a session holds, and for /winui-profiler:analyze-session [session.sqlite | folder].
microsoft/Mastering-GitHub-Copilot-for-Paired-Programming/AGENTS.md
This is Mastering GitHub Copilot for Paired Programming, an open-source educational repository maintained by Microsoft. It is a multi-module, 10-hour course that teaches developers how to use GitHub Copilot as an AI coding partner — from beginner to advanced topics including Agent Mode. The repository is documentation-centric: most content is Markdown-based lesson guides. A small number of code samples exist within specific lessons. Each lesson module follows a consistent structure: Most exercises reference external Codespaces template repos (e.g., github/dotnet-codespaces) rather…
microsoft/TinyTroupe/.github/copilot-instructions.md
This document provides the primary guidelines for generating programs in the TinyTroupe project. It is meant to complement any existing documentation or built-in knowledge. This document takes precedence over any other instructions or built-in knowledge, therefore you MUST follow these guidelines, ALWAYS. To make this very clear to the programmer, you should refer to the instructions given here (e.g.," ... as per my primary guidelines, I will avoid a complex solution to this problem, unless you explicitly ask me to…

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.
