.github/copilot-instructions.md

generative-ui-foundry-hosted-agents copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from leestott/generative-ui-foundry-hosted-agents. It costs 916 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a full-stack sample where a .NET AI agent sends interface updates to a React browser application through Azure services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing the hosted agent, AG-UI and invocation routes, Docker configuration, CopilotKit bridge, React frontend, or Azure deployment setup.
Why use it?
They keep the agent, browser bridge, hosting endpoints, container port, and deployment setup aligned with the architecture that the sample expects.

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is leestott/generative-ui-foundry-hosted-agents's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on generative-ui-foundry-hosted-agents 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 generative-ui-foundry-hosted-agents configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/register_agent.py # register hosted-agent version, poll to active.

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

generative-ui-foundry-hosted-agents copilot-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 2mo 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.

Copilot instructions — Generative UI on Foundry Hosted Agents

These instructions apply repo-wide. They encode the validated architecture and the conventions that keep this solution working. See AGENTS.md for the full reference and docs/ for deep-dive playbooks.

What this repo is

A full-stack generative UI sample: a Microsoft Agent Framework (.NET 10) agent hosted as a Foundry Hosted Agent speaking AG-UI over the invocations protocol, bridged to the browser by a CopilotKit Node runtime on Azure App Service, with a React + CopilotKit frontend on Azure Static Web Apps.

Non-negotiable conventions

  • Agent hosting: use Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting.AGUI.AspNetCore (AddAGUI() + MapAGUI()). Build the agent with chatClient.AsIChatClient().AsAIAgent(instructions, name, tools). Never reintroduce the community AGUI.Server, a raw IChatClient loop, or a custom Azure.AI.AgentServer.Invocations handler.
  • .AsAIAgent is an extension on IChatClient — call .AsIChatClient() first.
  • Container: listen on :8088 (ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:8088 in the Dockerfile) and expose GET /readiness. Map AG-UI at both /invocations and /.
  • Invocations endpoint MUST include ?api-version=v1. Older api-versions 400.
  • Runtime route: mount the CopilotKit handler at the Express root and gate on req.path === "/api/copilotkit". A path-prefixed app.use(...) strips the prefix and CopilotKit's Hono basePath returns 404.
  • Auth: managed identity + DefaultAzureCredential everywhere. No API keys, connection strings, or tokens in code, config, or the browser.
  • CopilotKit v2 protocol: requests are method envelopes — {"method":"info"} and {"method":"agent/run","params":{"agentId":"analytics-agent"},"body":{<RunAgentInput>}}.

When editing code

  • agent/ — .NET 10, Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web. Keep server tools registered via AIFunctionFactory.Create(...). Preserve Data/sales.csv as Content. Pinned package versions are intentional; bump deliberately, not incidentally.
  • runtime/ — TypeScript compiled with tsc to dist/. Run npm run build before deploy. Keep the lazy 503 when FOUNDRY_AGENT_ENDPOINT is unset and the /health endpoint.
  • frontend/ — Vite + React. Treat agent-supplied component props as untrusted; validate before rendering. runtimeUrl="/api/copilotkit".
  • infra/ — Bicep via azd. Managed identity, ACR (AcrPull), App Service, Static Web App, Foundry account + model, App Insights.

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.
