## What it does

The rule points to PCF Gallery, community videos about React, Fluent UI, manifests and debugging, and blogs covering component patterns and integrations. It also lists PCF Builder tools for XrmToolBox and VS Code, plus forums and other places to ask for help.

Its `applyTo` pattern is `**`, so the rule applies across all files, not just PCF work. Add it at `.github/instructions/pcf-community-resources.instructions.md`. The guide is a directory of resources; it does not provide a sequence of setup steps or dependencies.

## Install

### GitHub Copilot (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/instructions/pcf-community-resources.instructions.md` — The applyTo field sets which files it applies to

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/pcf-community-resources.md` — The paths frontmatter field limits the files: move applyTo from the source into paths

### Codex

**AGENTS.md**
- Codex reads AGENTS.md: paste the rule text there

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/rules/pcf-community-resources.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply. Move applyTo from the source into globs, or the rule will not attach on its own

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/rules/pcf-community-resources.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/pcf-community-resources.md`

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/HEAD/instructions/pcf-community-resources.instructions.md

## When to use it
- find a ready-made PCF component for a project
- choose a video about PCF manifests or debugging
- locate React and Fluent UI examples for PCF
- pick a builder tool for setting up a component
- find blogs and forums that cover PCF

## Example prompts
- Find a community PCF component for displaying images.
- Point me to PCF debugging tutorials and suggest where to start.
- Which tool can help me set up a PCF manifest in VS Code?
