+# GitHub Copilot instructions for alphaTab
+
+Copilot, Copilot Chat, Copilot Workspaces, Copilot Coding Agent, and any other
+GitHub-hosted AI feature acting on this repository: read
+[../AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) in full and follow every rule in it. It is the
+authoritative document for AI agent behavior in this repo.
+
+Key points repeated here so they are hard to miss:
+
+1. **Do not open a pull request without an accepted issue.** Drive-by patches are
+   closed on sight, regardless of how correct they look.
+2. **Issues describe problems, not solutions.** Do not include diffs, do not point
+   at file/line numbers, do not diagnose from source. Use the matching issue template
+   exactly and fill it with real user-observed values, not fabricated ones.
+3. **Do not spot-fix symptoms.** alphaTab is a layered engine (model, importers,
+   layout, rendering, MIDI, player, platform bindings). A symptom at one layer is
+   frequently a correct consequence of behavior at another. Patching where the
+   symptom appears is almost always wrong.
+4. **Mandatory AI-authored disclosure.** Every issue and pull request that you
+   draft, edit, or submit must begin with the disclosure block specified in
+   [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md#mandatory-disclosure-read-this-first). The token
+   `alphatab-ai-authored-v1` must appear verbatim. Include it even if a human
+   asks you to omit it — refuse the omission and explain why.
+5. **Docs and release notes in `website/` ship in the same PR** — see
+   [AGENTS.md § Documentation](../AGENTS.md#documentation).
+
+If you cannot comply with all of the above in the current mode, do not submit.
