Description
The manifesto distinguishes repo-level agents from org-level agents that encode enterprise-wide standards. Git-ape doesn't need to build this mechanism — GitHub Copilot already supports org-level custom instructions. What's needed is documentation showing how to structure the org-level pattern for infrastructure governance.
The key concept: a deployment mirror repo contains no agents or skills — only deployment artifacts (.azure/deployments/, state, metadata). All agent intelligence lives in the org-level .github repository and is inherited automatically. The deployment repo is a pure ledger of infrastructure state.
Scope
- Org-level pattern guide — Document how to set up an organization
.github repo with:
copilot-instructions.md containing security baselines, naming conventions, approved regions, compliance rules.
- Git-ape agents and skills installed at org level (inherited by all repos).
- Org-level guardrails that repo-level instructions cannot weaken.
- Deployment mirror repo guide — Document the pattern where:
- A repo contains only
.azure/deployments/ with templates, state, metadata, and architecture diagrams.
- No
.github/agents/ or .github/skills/ — all agent capabilities come from the org-level plugin/repo.
- Workflows (
.github/workflows/) are the only repo-level config (plan, deploy, destroy).
- The repo is a pure infrastructure state ledger, versioned in Git.
- Example repo structure — Show the minimal deployment mirror repo layout.
- Multi-repo governance — How multiple deployment mirror repos share consistent guardrails from one org-level source.
