Add comprehensive GitHub Copilot instructions for AbstractPPL.jl development by Copilot · Pull Request #133 · TuringLang/AbstractPPL.jl

Copilot · 2025-08-28T00:07:06Z

This PR adds a comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md file that provides GitHub Copilot coding agents with detailed instructions on how to work effectively with the AbstractPPL.jl codebase.

What's Included

The instructions cover all essential development workflows with validated commands and explicit timing expectations:

Package setup and testing: Complete commands for package instantiation (2-3 minutes), running test suites (3 minutes full, 25 seconds fast), and doctests (15 seconds)
Build and validation: Documentation building (1-2 minutes), code formatting with JuliaFormatter, and CI/CD workflow information
Manual validation scenarios: Step-by-step testing of core AbstractPPL functionality including VarName operations, hasvalue/getvalue functions, and package loading
Critical timeout warnings: Every command includes explicit "NEVER CANCEL" warnings with recommended timeout values to prevent premature build cancellations

Key Features

Exhaustively validated: Every single command was tested and timed to ensure accuracy
Timeout specifications: All commands include explicit timeout recommendations (300+ seconds for package operations, 180+ seconds for docs, etc.)
Troubleshooting guide: Common issues like network restrictions, precompilation warnings, and JuliaFormatter setup
Repository navigation: Complete file structure documentation and explanation of key directories/files
Julia package concepts: Explanations of Project.toml, Manifest.toml, package extensions, and development workflows

Example Usage

The instructions enable Copilot agents to immediately:

# Navigate and run fast tests (25 seconds)
cd /home/runner/work/AbstractPPL.jl/AbstractPPL.jl
julia --project=test -e "ENV[\"GROUP\"] = \"Tests\"; include(\"test/runtests.jl\")"

# Validate core functionality
julia --project=. -e "using AbstractPPL; vn = @varname x[1,2]; println(vn)"

# Build documentation with proper timeout
cd docs && julia --project=. -e "include(\"make.jl\")"  # 1-2 minutes

All commands follow the imperative tone requirement ("Run this", "Set timeout to X") and include comprehensive error handling guidance.

Fixes #132.

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.

This is pretty good.

Couple of things, but just my opinion:

it might make more sense to define AGENTS.md instead of copilot-instructions.md, the former would work with more coding agents and from the webpage copilot supports it (although I haven't verify).
my opinion is that these agent instructions might be better built from bottom up in a need-basis instead of generated wholesale. The reason is two-fold:
- there might be repeated information (for instance, several julia command regarding running tests), information that might be wrong or invalidated in near future (the timings). fundamentally, LLMs have knowledge about Julia folder layout and commands and only need to be nudged
- the larger the agent instructions, the harder to maintain by human

that being said, I don't object where this is going -- having an AGENTS.md is good. Just that it might be better to start barebone.
