PowerToys AI contributor guidance

PowerToys Copilot Instructions

Concise guidance for AI contributions. For complete details, see AGENTS.md.

Key Rules

  • Atomic PRs: one logical change, no drive-by refactors
  • Add tests when changing behavior
  • Keep hot paths quiet (no logging in hooks/tight loops)

Style Enforcement

  • C#: src/.editorconfig, StyleCop.Analyzers
  • C++: src/.clang-format
  • XAML: XamlStyler

When to Ask for Clarification

  • Ambiguous spec after scanning docs
  • Cross-module impact unclear
  • Security, elevation, or installer changes

Component-Specific Instructions

These are auto-applied based on file location:
