Build-CLI AGENTS.md

Project instructions for a Microsoft Events assistant plugin and its command-line tool. The tool fetches, caches, normalizes, and searches Microsoft Build and Ignite session catalogs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Maintaining plugin manifests, shared skills, MCP configuration, the events CLI, and synchronization rules across supported agent ecosystems.
Why use it?
They help keep the plugin's GitHub Copilot and Claude Code packages consistent when metadata, skills, or Microsoft Learn integration changes.

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

Build-CLI AGENTS.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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

This repo packages the Microsoft Events assistant plugin and the @microsoft/events-cli CLI. The plugin helps agents use live Microsoft Build and Ignite session catalogs; the CLI fetches, caches, normalizes, and searches those catalogs.

Plugin ecosystems

The repo publishes plugin metadata for GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. Keep shared product identity fields aligned across the manifests when changing the plugin name, description, version, author, repository, keywords, license, skills path, or MCP wiring.

Shared assets used by the plugin ecosystems:

  • skills\microsoft-build\SKILL.md — the active skill prompt
  • .mcp.json — Microsoft Learn MCP endpoint config
  • cli\ — source for the @microsoft/events-cli package used by the skill

Versioned plugin manifests:

  • GitHub Copilot.github\plugin\plugin.json is the Copilot marketplace manifest and points at the repo root.
  • Claude Code.claude-plugin\plugin.json defines the Claude Code plugin package; .claude-plugin\marketplace.json defines Claude Code marketplace publishing metadata.

Sync rules

  • Event support is duplicated by design between the CLI and skill docs. When adding, removing, or renaming events, update cli\src\config.ts, the supported/default event guidance in skills\microsoft-build\SKILL.md, and affected tests/docs together.
  • Treat skills\microsoft-build\SKILL.md as the product contract for event-session behavior. For Build, Ignite, or event-session work: default "Build" to build-2026, get session metadata from the live catalog through msevents or the endpoint, get SDK/API facts from Microsoft Learn MCP, and never invent session IDs, speakers, schedules, or links.
  • Versioning gate: any meaningful skills\microsoft-build\SKILL.md change (agent behavior, commands/examples agents may follow, supported/default events, CLI/MCP/catalog usage, or user-facing workflow guidance) must bump both versioned plugin manifests to the same value; patch bumps are fine for guidance-only changes.
  • PR review gate: GitHub Copilot/code reviewers should flag meaningful SKILL.md changes without synced plugin version bumps, and any plugin version drift. Typo/format-only skill edits may skip the bump only when the PR explicitly says so.
  • Keep README install/client guidance aligned with plugin manifest, skill, MCP, or CLI behavior 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.
