Zephyr Project — Copilot Instructions

The instructions for AI coding agents working on this repository are in AGENTS.md at the repository root. Copilot cloud agent, Copilot code review and the IDE agents load that file directly; this file only covers the Copilot features that do not, and code review.

All Copilot features

  • Follow AGENTS.md, doc/contribute/guidelines.rst and doc/contribute/style/.
  • Never add Signed-off-by: or Co-authored-by:; add one Assisted-by: Copilot:<model> trailer to commits you help write.

Code review

  • Report only concrete, verifiable problems: a rule violation with the rule, a bug with the input that triggers it, a missing test with the untested behavior. Skip praise and summaries.
  • Do not request changes for anything CI catches (checkpatch, gitlint, compliance); reviewers are asked not to (doc/contribute/reviewer_expectations.rst).
  • Do not flag style in lines the PR does not touch, and do not ask for tree-wide cleanups.
  • Check commit messages: area: prefix, non-empty body, Signed-off-by present, exactly one Assisted-by: trailer when AI tools were used, no Co-authored-by. A change that addresses an issue carries Fixes #N in the PR description or a commit.
