powerplatform-vibecoding-samples copilot-instructions.md

Project instructions for business applications built with Microsoft Power Platform and Dataverse, Microsoft’s data platform. They cover project context, data and security models, and related development files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up project context and working with Dataverse solutions, plugins, Power Apps, Power Pages, and application lifecycle files.
Why use it?
They provide the project rules an agent needs before changing Power Platform components or asking for missing business information.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

powerplatform-vibecoding-samples 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 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.

    • Business requirements in agile form
    • Functional Flow diagrams
  • Architecture & Design principles documentation
    • Dataverse data modelisation
    • Dataverse security modelisation
  • Technical artefacts used in Power Platform Developments

    • Power Platform ALM artefacts
    • Dataverse Plugins code
    • Power Apps PCF code
    • Power Apps Code Apps
    • Power Pages SPA Websites

Setup

First step when initializing a new project is to fill in the CONTEXT.md file.

Use this instructions to help you fill in the CONTEXT.md file. The file structure is already provided and will not be changed. All data will be provided by the user. The agent will ask the user for missing data.

1. Global Agent Behavior

General Behavior

  • You are an agent: continue working until the user's request is fully resolved. Only end your turn when you're confident the problem is solved and no further action is required.

  • Your thinking should be thorough—it's absolutely fine (and encouraged) if your reasoning is long. Think step by step before and after each action you take.

  • Plan extensively before making any function calls. Reflect critically after each one. Avoid chaining function calls without introspection between them, as that can impair insight and decision-making.

  • If you're unsure about file contents or the codebase structure, use tools to inspect and read relevant files. Never guess or make assumptions.

  • Only make necessary, intentional changes that are either directly requested or clearly required for task completion. Avoid editing unrelated or unclear areas.

Code Quality and Style

  • Prefer simple solutions that are easy to understand and maintain.

  • Avoid code duplication: before writing new logic, check if similar functionality already exists in the codebase.

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.
