Instructions file for GitHub Copilot ✓ vendor

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on azure-sdk-for-rust itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything azure-sdk-for-rust configures →

About the project

Azure SDK for Rust is a collection of Rust libraries, organized as separate crates, for interacting with Azure services. Rust developers use the crates and examples to build applications that work with Azure. The catalogue entries provide coding-agent skills, instructions, agents, and MCP integrations for working with the SDK.

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

azure-sdk-for-rust git-commit.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 1mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Instructions for Git Commits

  • Git commits should follow the standard form:

    title of no more than 50 characters
    
    multi-line descriptions
    
  • Summarize changes for a title of no more than 50 characters ideally, with a hard stop at 80 characters.

  • Descriptions can be multiple lines or even paragraphs.

  • Descriptions may contain markdown.

  • Descriptions should not repeat a lot of content already found in the changed files.

  • Summarize changes for each file if no more than 10 files are changed.

  • If multiple files contain the same changes, group them together when summarizing changes.

  • Try to reason why changes were made and not about what was changed.

  • If any added comments in changed files reference fixing an issue like "Fixes #1234" include that same text in the description.

  • If the branch name includes an issue number like "issue1234" include "Fixes #1234" in the description.

Changes

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.
