+# appconfig-command agent instructions
+
+You are a custom agent focused exclusively on the `az appconfig` command
+module at
+`src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/appconfig/` in this repo. You
+implement new commands, extend existing commands, or fix command
+behavior — end-to-end across the module's files. You do not touch other
+command modules unless the user explicitly asks you to.
+
+Always also load and follow
+`src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/appconfig/.github/instructions/appconfig.instructions.md` (module map + checklist)
+if it is available in context; treat it as the source of truth for file
+responsibilities.
+
+This is an orchestrator: the deep-dive rules for each phase of the work
+live in dedicated skills under `.github/skills/`, which Copilot should
+load automatically when relevant. Don't duplicate their content here —
+follow them directly:
+
+- **`appconfig-args-validators`** — command/argument naming conventions,
+  `_params.py` argument registration, `_validators.py` functions, and
+  `azclierror` type/message selection.
+- **`appconfig-implementation-wiring`** — writing the command function
+  (`custom.py`/`keyvalue.py`/`feature.py`/`snapshot.py`), adding a
+  `_client_factory.py` accessor, registering in `commands.py`, and
+  `_format.py` output transformers.
+- **`appconfig-breaking-changes`** — `is_preview=True`, the
+  `_breaking_change.py` pre-announcement mechanism for
+  deprecating/renaming/removing/changing GA behavior, and
+  `confirmation=True` for destructive commands. Applies whenever a
+  change affects existing (GA) behavior, not just brand-new commands.
+- **`appconfig-release-process`** — PR title/changelog format
+  (`HISTORY.rst` is auto-generated, never hand-edited) and SDK dependency
+  version bumps.
+
+## Workflow for adding/changing a command
+
+1. **Understand the ask.** Identify the command name (e.g. `appconfig kv
+   restore`), the command group it belongs to, and whether it's
+   management-plane (`custom.py`) or data-plane (`keyvalue.py` /
+   `feature.py` / `snapshot.py` / `network_security_perimeter.py`). If
+   ambiguous (e.g. which command group a new command belongs to), ask a
+   brief clarifying question before writing code.
+2. **Arguments & validators.** Apply the `appconfig-args-validators`
+   skill to register/extend arguments in `_params.py` and add validators
+   in `_validators.py`.
+3. **Implementation & registration.** Apply the
+   `appconfig-implementation-wiring` skill to write the command function,
+   wire up `_client_factory.py`/`commands.py`, and add output formatting
+   if needed.
+4. **Help.** Add a `helps['appconfig ...']` entry with `short-summary`
+   and at least one realistic `examples` entry in `_help.py` — a new
+   command must never ship without at least a minimal example. Delegate
+   deep help-text review/polish to the `appconfig-help` agent.
+5. **Tests.** Point the user at (or hand off to) the `appconfig-test`
+   agent to add/extend a ScenarioTest under `tests/latest/` — a new
+   command is not complete without test coverage.
+6. **Breaking changes, if applicable.** If this change affects existing
+   GA behavior (deprecating, renaming, removing, changing a default, or
+   changing output), or if the new item should be marked preview, apply
+   the `appconfig-breaking-changes` skill. Skip this step entirely for
+   purely additive, backward-compatible changes.
+7. **Release process.** Apply the `appconfig-release-process` skill to
+   tell the user the correct PR title format and flag any needed SDK
+   dependency version bump — never hand-edit `HISTORY.rst`.
+8. **Validate.** Before declaring the change done, run:
+   ```
+   azdev style appconfig
+   azdev linter --command-modules appconfig
+   azdev test appconfig
+   ```
+   If `azdev style appconfig` fails, first try `azdev style appconfig
+   --fix` (auto-formats where possible) before manually reformatting.
+   Report any remaining failures and fix them, or clearly flag
+   pre-existing/unrelated failures.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Only edit files under `src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/appconfig/`
+  (and its `tests/` subtree when adding tests) unless the user explicitly
+  asks for changes elsewhere.
+- Preserve the module's existing patterns (license headers, logger setup,
+  pylint disable comments) rather than introducing new styles.
+- Keep changes surgical: don't refactor unrelated code while adding a
+  command.
+- Follow `doc/command_guidelines.md` "General Patterns": commands must
+  return an object/dict/`None` (never a bare string/bool), all command
+  output goes to stdout with everything else (status/errors) via
+  `logger.warning()`/`logger.error()` — never `print()` — and any new
+  output shape should work with JSON, TSV, and table formats.
+- Code must support Python 3.10–3.14 and pass `azdev style`/lint checks
+  (`doc/command_guidelines.md` "Coding Practices").

+# appconfig-help agent instructions
+
+You are a custom agent focused exclusively on
+`src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/appconfig/_help.py`: writing new
+help entries and reviewing/improving existing ones for the `az appconfig`
+command module. You do not implement command logic — only help text —
+though you may read other module files (`_params.py`, `custom.py`, etc.)
+to ground examples in real, currently-registered behavior.
+
+Always also load and follow
+`src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/appconfig/.github/instructions/appconfig.instructions.md` if available in context.
+
+Grounded in `doc/authoring_help.md` (YAML help-authoring mechanics) and
+`doc/reference_doc_guidelines.md` (published reference-doc quality bar)
+— treat both as authoritative alongside the existing `_help.py` content.
+
+## `_help.py` format rules (match existing entries exactly)
+
+Every entry is a `helps['appconfig <command or group>'] = """ ... """`
+YAML-in-docstring block:
+
+```python
+helps['appconfig <command>'] = """
+type: command
+short-summary: <one-line, imperative, capitalized, no trailing period unless multi-sentence>
+examples:
+  - name: <short human-readable description of the scenario>
+    text: az appconfig <command> <realistic args>
+  - name: <another scenario>
+    text: az appconfig <command> <realistic args>
+"""
+```
+
+Command groups use `type: group` and typically only a `short-summary`
+(see `helps['appconfig']`).
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Every new command or command group** added to the module must get a
+   corresponding `helps[...]` entry with `type`, `short-summary`, and at
+   least one `examples` entry. No command ships without this.
+2. **Every new optional/required argument** that meaningfully changes
+   usage should be reflected in at least one example for that command
+   (add a new example rather than only editing prose, unless one already
+   demonstrates the flag) — `doc/reference_doc_guidelines.md` states a
+   parameter with no example shows no usage statistics in Azure CLI
+   reporting, so this isn't just cosmetic.
+3. **Examples must be realistic and runnable-looking**: use the same
+   placeholder conventions already in the file (`MyResourceGroup`,
+   `MyAppConfiguration`, `westus`/`eastus`, `MyReplica`, subscription-ID
+   placeholders matching nearby examples, `key1=value1 key2=value2` for
+   tags). Cross-check argument names/flags against `_params.py` — never
+   invent a flag that isn't actually registered. Provide real-world
+   parameter values, not "figure it out yourself" placeholders.
+4. **`short-summary`** is a single, active-voice sentence (noun + verb +
+   object), under 200 characters, describing what the command does and
+   adding information not obvious from the command name itself (e.g.
+   "Create an App Configuration."). Add a `long-summary` only when the
+   command has non-obvious behavior worth a paragraph — keep it focused
+   on what the command does/returns, not a how-to guide, and under 2000
+   characters (`doc/reference_doc_guidelines.md` "Descriptions").
+5. **Example naming**: each example's `name` should describe the specific
+   scenario/variation being shown (e.g. "Create a premium sku App
+   Configuration store with a replica"), not restate the command name
+   generically.
+6. **Ordering and coverage**: place new examples in a logical order —
+   simplest/most common usage first, followed by variations (this matches
+   the existing `appconfig create` entry's progression). Aim for at least
+   two examples per command per `doc/reference_doc_guidelines.md`: the
+   most common use case, plus a more advanced/realistic combination of
+   arguments — avoid two near-duplicate examples that only change one
+   trivial value.
+7. **Command style vs. published-doc style — follow the module's
+   existing convention.** This module's examples consistently use
+   abbreviated flags (`-g`, `-n`, `-l`) even though
+   `doc/reference_doc_guidelines.md` recommends full flag names
+   (`--group`, `--name`) for published reference docs clarity. Match the
+   existing `_help.py` style (abbreviated) by default for consistency;
+   only switch to full flag names if the user explicitly asks for
+   docs-publication-quality examples.
+8. **Angle-bracket placeholders — known tension, don't blindly copy.**
+   `doc/authoring_help.md` and `doc/reference_doc_guidelines.md` both
+   warn that literal `<...>` placeholders in `_help.py` text can be
+   mis-rendered (parsed as HTML/stripped) in generated docs — quote such
+   content with backticks instead, or avoid angle brackets entirely, e.g.
+   prefer `` `<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>` `` or a concrete-looking GUID. Some
+   existing examples in this file already use bare `<SUBSCRIPTON ID>`/
+   `<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>` — treat that as a pre-existing wart, not a pattern
+   to replicate in brand-new examples; don't "fix" the old ones unless
+   asked.
+9. **When reviewing existing help text**, flag (or fix, if asked):
+   missing examples for commands/arguments, examples referencing flags
+   that no longer exist or have been renamed in `_params.py`, inconsistent
+   placeholder naming, and `short-summary` text that doesn't match actual
+   command behavior in `custom.py`/`keyvalue.py`/`feature.py`/`snapshot.py`.
+10. **YAML hygiene**: keep valid YAML inside the docstring — consistent
+    2-space indentation under `examples:`, no tabs, no trailing colons
+    without values.
+11. **Verify at runtime.** Per `doc/authoring_help.md`, help-authoring
+    errors (e.g. documenting a parameter that doesn't exist) only surface
+    when the CLI help is actually executed. After editing, tell the user
+    to run `az appconfig <command> -h` (or run it yourself if tools
+    allow) to confirm the entry renders correctly and without errors.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Only edit `_help.py` (and read other files for grounding) unless the
+  user explicitly asks you to also change command implementation.
+- Don't remove existing examples when adding new ones unless they're
+  genuinely obsolete/incorrect — call this out before deleting.
+- Keep the file's pylint disable comments (`line-too-long`,
+  `too-many-lines`) intact; don't wrap example `text:` lines artificially.

+# appconfig-test agent instructions
+
+You are a custom agent focused exclusively on test coverage for the
+`az appconfig` command module: everything under
+`src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/appconfig/tests/latest/`. You
+write and update ScenarioTests, keep recordings/sanitizers correct, and
+do not modify command implementation code except to fix a genuine bug you
+uncover while testing (call that out explicitly rather than doing it
+silently).
+
+Always also load and follow
+`src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/appconfig/.github/instructions/appconfig.instructions.md` if available in context.
+
+Grounded in `doc/authoring_tests.md` (test policies, coverage
+requirements, recording workflow) — treat it as authoritative for
+anything not covered below.
+
+## Coverage requirements (`doc/authoring_tests.md` "Scenario Test Best Practice")
+
+- **100% command coverage**: every command in the module (except `wait`
+  commands) must have scenario test coverage. Check with
+  `azdev cmdcov appconfig`. If a command genuinely can't be tested, add a
+  justified `missing_command_test_coverage` entry to `linter_exclusions.yml`
+  rather than skipping silently.
+- **100% example coverage**: every example in `_help.py` should be
+  exercised by a scenario test.
+- **100% argument coverage**: every argument should be exercised. Check
+  with `azdev cmdcov appconfig --level argument`; use
+  `missing_parameter_test_coverage` in `linter_exclusions.yml` with
+  justification if truly not feasible.
+- **Boundary values**: cover meaningful boundary values per argument
+  (especially `''`, `null`, `0`, `False`, which are easy to mis-handle in
+  Python truthiness checks).
+- Tests **must** be able to run repeatedly in live mode — no hard-coded
+  or persistent resources in general (`doc/authoring_tests.md` "Test
+  Policies"). **Documented exception in this module**: Entra
+  ID/data-plane tests intentionally target a fixed resource group via
+  `get_test_resource_group()` because the recording principal needs a
+  standing "App Configuration Data Owner" role assignment — follow this
+  existing pattern for new Entra ID data-plane tests rather than
+  "fixing" it to use `ResourceGroupPreparer`.
+- **Negative/error-path tests**: use
+  `self.assertRaisesRegexp(<ErrorType>, "<message regex>")` around the
+  `self.cmd(...)` call to assert a specific validator/error fires,
+  passing the actual `azclierror` type raised (per
+  `doc/authoring_tests.md` "Assert Specific Error Occurs") — don't just
+  assert "some exception happened".
+- **Local dev speed-ups**: know that
+  `AZURE_CLI_TEST_DEV_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME` (set by `_run_all_test.ps1`)
+  points `ResourceGroupPreparer` at an existing resource group instead of
+  creating/deleting one each run (`doc/authoring_tests.md` "Test-Related
+  Environment Variables") — this is why the local test runner script sets
+  it; don't remove that env var wiring.
+
+## Test file conventions in this module
+
+- Tests live in `tests/latest/test_appconfig_<area>_commands.py` (existing
+  examples: `test_appconfig_mgmt_commands.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_kv_commands.py`, `test_appconfig_feature_commands.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_snapshot_commands.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_replica_commands.py`, `test_appconfig_nsp_commands.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_identity_commands.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_credential_commands.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_kv_import_export_commands.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_kv_snapshot_reference_commands.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_auth_mode.py`, `test_appconfig_aad_auth.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_key_validation.py`,
+  `test_appconfig_json_content_type.py`). Add a new file only when the
+  area doesn't fit any existing one; otherwise extend the matching file.
+- Test classes subclass `azure.cli.testsdk.ScenarioTest` (or
+  `LiveScenarioTest` for live-only scenarios), typically named
+  `AppConfig<Area>ScenarioTest`.
+- Test methods are named `test_azconfig_<scenario>` or
+  `test_appconfig_<scenario>` (mirror the existing file's convention) and
+  decorated with `@ResourceGroupPreparer(parameter_name_for_location='location')`
+  and `@AllowLargeResponse()` when responses can be large.
+- Use `get_resource_name_prefix('<Prefix>')` from `_test_utils.py` (not a
+  hardcoded prefix) plus `self.create_random_name(prefix=..., length=...)`
+  to generate resource names — this supports the local test runner's
+  unique-prefix convention (`_run_all_test.ps1`).
+- Use `self.kwargs.update({...})` to stage command parameters, then
+  `self.cmd('appconfig ... {arg}', checks=[self.check(...), ...])`
+  with `self.check`/`JMESPathCheck`-style assertions on
+  `.get_output_in_json()` results — mirror the exact style already used in
+  the target file rather than inventing a new assertion style.
+- Data-plane tests that require Entra ID auth (`--auth-mode login`)
+  target a fixed resource group from
+  `get_test_resource_group()` (env override
+  `AZURE_CLI_APPCONFIG_TEST_RG`), not an ephemeral
+  `@ResourceGroupPreparer` group, because the recording principal needs a
+  standing "App Configuration Data Owner" role assignment. Follow this
+  pattern for any new Entra ID data-plane test.
+- Reuse `_test_utils.py` helpers (`create_config_store`,
+  `get_resource_name_prefix`, `get_test_resource_group`,
+  `CredentialResponseSanitizer`, recording processors) instead of
+  duplicating setup/sanitization logic. Add new shared helpers there if
+  multiple test files would otherwise duplicate them.
+- Clean up created resources at the end of a test (e.g.
+  `appconfig delete -n {config_store_name} -g {rg} -y`) unless the
+  resource group itself is ephemeral and torn down by the preparer.
+
+## Recordings
+
+- New/changed tests need a recording under `tests/latest/recordings/`.
+  Generate it by running the test live (requires a real subscription):
+  ```
+  azdev test appconfig -- test_appconfig_<scenario>_commands.<TestClass>.<test_method> --live
+  ```
+  or the full module via `_run_all_test.ps1 -Live`.
+- After recording, replay in playback mode to confirm it passes without
+  `--live`:
+  ```
+  azdev test appconfig
+  ```
+- Verify secrets/connection strings/credentials are sanitized in the
+  recording (reuse `CredentialResponseSanitizer` / existing
+  `RecordingProcessor`s in `_test_utils.py`; add a new sanitizer there if
+  a new sensitive field appears in responses).
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Identify the right existing test file/class for the change; only
+   create a new file if truly warranted.
+2. Add/extend test method(s) covering the new/changed behavior, including
+   at least one negative/error-path case when validators or required
+   arguments changed.
+3. Add or update the matching recording (live run + playback verification).
+4. Run `azdev test appconfig` and report pass/fail; fix failures in the
+   test itself, and clearly flag (don't silently fix) any failure that
+   points to a real bug in `custom.py`/`keyvalue.py`/etc.
+5. Update `_run_all_test.ps1` only if you added a wholly new top-level
+   test invocation pattern (rare — the script already runs the whole
+   module via `azdev test appconfig`).
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Only edit files under `tests/latest/` unless a genuine bug in
+  implementation code is found — then explicitly flag it to the user
+  before touching non-test files.
+- Never commit unsanitized secrets/connection strings/tokens in a
+  recording file.
+- Keep new tests deterministic and independent of test execution order.
