awesome-azd copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Azure/awesome-azd. It costs 3,240 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for Awesome Azure Developer CLI, a website that helps people discover Azure application templates. It explains the repository structure, required tools, validation steps, and timing limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the website, installing dependencies, running tests, creating a production build, or starting the development server.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the project-specific rules needed to work consistently instead of guessing how to install, test, build, or run the site.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

awesome-azd copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Awesome Azure Developer CLI (azd)

Awesome azd is a Docusaurus-based website showcasing Azure Developer CLI templates. The site serves as a discovery platform for azd templates, provides contribution guides, and hosts a searchable gallery of community and Microsoft-authored templates.

Always reference these instructions first and fallback to search or bash commands only when you encounter unexpected information that does not match the info here.

Working Effectively

Bootstrap, build, and test the repository:

  • Ensure Node.js 18+ is available: node --version (should show v20.19.5 or later)
  • Navigate to website directory: cd website
  • Install dependencies: npm ci -- takes ~15-60 seconds with warnings about deprecated packages (this is normal)
  • Run tests: npm test -- takes ~1 second. NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 30+ seconds.
  • Build the website: npm run build -- takes ~75 seconds. NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 120+ seconds.
  • Start development server: npm run start -- takes ~30 seconds to compile. NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 60+ seconds.
  • Serve production build: npm run serve -- starts immediately after build

Critical Timing and Timeout Requirements

  • npm ci: 15-60 seconds (normal with deprecated package warnings about rimraf, glob, inflight)
  • npm test: 1 second (set timeout to 30+ seconds)
  • npm run build: 75 seconds (set timeout to 120+ seconds)
  • npm run start: 30 seconds initial compile (set timeout to 60+ seconds)
  • NEVER CANCEL any build or test commands - they will complete successfully

Manual Validation Requirements

After making any changes to the website, ALWAYS validate functionality by:

  1. Start the development server: cd website && npm run start
  2. Wait for "Compiled successfully" message
  3. Test website accessibility: curl -f "http://localhost:3000/awesome-azd/"
  4. Navigate to key pages and verify:
    • Homepage displays template gallery correctly
    • Getting Started page loads with video and action cards
    • Contribute page shows documentation
    • All navigation links work

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
