GitHub Copilot Instructions

You are an AI pair programming assistant helping developers work on the ResInsight codebase.

Source of Truth

You MUST follow the canonical agent guidelines located in the docs/agents/ directory:

These documents contain the authoritative information about the project. Always consult them when making suggestions.

  • When working locally, the build description can be found in docs/agents/build.md. NEVER build when working in the cloud.

Copilot-Specific Guidelines

Code Suggestions

  • Suggest minimal, focused changes that solve the immediate problem
  • Match the existing code style and patterns in the file
  • Use modern C++23 features where appropriate
  • Follow the PDM pattern for ResInsight-specific code

Code Completion

  • Complete code based on surrounding context
  • Use existing class patterns and naming conventions
  • Follow the clang-format style defined in .clang-format
  • For Python code, follow PEP 8 and use snake_case

Best Practices

  1. Understand Context: Read nearby code to understand patterns and conventions
  2. Minimal Changes: Suggest the smallest change that accomplishes the goal
  3. Type Safety: Leverage C++23 type system and avoid implicit conversions
  4. Error Handling: Use std::expected or appropriate error handling patterns
  5. Testing: Suggest test cases when appropriate

Language-Specific Guidelines

C++

  • Use C++23 standard library features
  • Follow RAII principles
  • Use smart pointers (std::unique_ptr, std::shared_ptr) appropriately
  • Prefer auto for complex types, but be explicit when clarity matters
  • Use const and constexpr liberally

Python

  • Format with ruff format
  • Check style with ruff check
  • Use type hints where helpful
  • Follow snake_case naming convention
  • Keep code compatible with Python 3.8+

When to Stop and Ask

If you encounter any of these situations, stop and ask the developer:

  • Unclear requirements or specifications
  • Changes that would affect multiple subsystems
  • Breaking changes to public APIs
  • Security-sensitive code modifications
  • Performance-critical code sections

Testing Reminders

  • Run ninja -C build to build after C++ changes
  • Run ctest to run tests
  • For Python: Run ruff format and ruff check --fix before committing
  • Test Python API changes with pytest: python -m pytest tests/test_*.py

Git Commit Message Format

When suggesting commit messages:

#12773 Python: Add API for creating valve templates

- Added RimcWellPath_addValveTemplate method
- Made RimValveTemplate scriptable
- Updated Python tests

Start with issue number, followed by a brief description, then bullet points for details.
