Related terms

• AGENTS.md

  A Markdown file format, recognised across different AI coding agents, for telling them how to behave. Copilot on GitHub looks for AGENTS.md files in a repo; SSMS looks for extended properties of that name on database objects and follows them.

• AnalysisResult

  Object that poller.result() returns in Content Understanding; its JSON body carries the extracted fields and markdown content.

• Custom instructions

  Saves a team from repeating its conventions in every prompt: GitHub Copilot adds Markdown files such as .github/copilot-instructions.md to each request on its own.

• Issue template

  Lives in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE as Markdown or YAML and lets people choose a kind of issue when raising one. Issue forms, written in YAML, replace the free-text body with web fields whose answers are turned into Markdown.

• Markdown output (Document Intelligence)

  Option on the layout model that returns the extracted content as Markdown, rendering tables as HTML; handy when chunking documents for RAG.

• Mermaid

  Diagrams written as text. GitHub Markdown renders them, as do Azure DevOps wikis inside a ::: mermaid block or fenced code; those wikis reject the flowchart keyword, so write graph there.

• prebuilt-documentSearch

  Retrieval-oriented Content Understanding analyzer that uses generative models to turn a document into Markdown paragraphs, tables and figure descriptions, plus a summary.

• README

  A Markdown file, README.md, sitting at the top of a repository to introduce the project; status badges can be shown in it.
