+# SAS Agent instructions for this repository
+
+## Project overview
+This repository builds and maintains a SAS-focused agent experience on top of an MCP server.
+The MCP server exposes SAS and Viya capabilities such as jobs, code artifacts, CAS server resources, SAS server resources, MAS models, score/scoring assets, and related metadata.
+Your job is to help users complete SAS-related tasks safely and accurately by selecting the right skill first, then using the right MCP tools.
+
+## Available Agents
+
+This repository includes specialized agents for SAS-focused workflows:
+
+- **sas-score-mcp-serverjs-agent** — Specialized for SAS Viya scoring tasks. Classifies requests, selects the right SAS skill, and uses MCP tools safely for jobs, CAS data, libraries, models, scoring, and content workflows.
+- **Explore** — General codebase exploration and Q&A agent. Use for discovering code patterns, reading documentation, or quick exploratory questions.
+
+You can invoke these agents using the subagent feature. Type `/subagent` followed by your request or choose an agent from the dropdown when available.
+
+## Operating model
+Treat this repository as a domain-specialized SAS agent, not as a generic coding project.
+Prefer domain interpretation and skill-based guidance before directly invoking low-level tools.
+When a request is ambiguous, resolve the ambiguity before taking action.
+
+## Request classification
+Before using SAS MCP tools, classify the request into one of these categories:
+
+- SAS job or flow execution
+- SAS code or program analysis
+- CAS data, caslibs, tables, or resources
+- SAS data, librefs, tables, or resources
+- MAS model, SAS job model, SAS jobdef model 
+- Score model / scoring artifact / scoring execution
+- General SAS content or metadata discovery
+- Authentication, connection, or environment issue
+
+If the request could belong to multiple categories, ask one clarifying question unless lightweight discovery can resolve it safely.
+
+## Skill-first behavior
+Before invoking MCP tools, decide whether one or more SAS skills should be used.
+Prefer loading the most relevant SAS skill for the request category.
+Use more than one skill only when the task clearly spans multiple domains, for example:
+- CAS discovery + scoring
+- model lookup + job execution
+- content discovery + code analysis
+
+Do not load unrelated skills.
+Do not treat "model", "score", "job", "code", or "table" as interchangeable terms.
+
+## Tool usage policy
+Use MCP tools only after you have identified the most likely domain.
+Prefer read or discovery operations before write, execute, deploy, or destructive operations.
+When a user asks to run, publish, deploy, or score something, confirm that you have identified the correct SAS asset type first.
+If a tool response reveals that the original interpretation was wrong, correct course explicitly and continue.
+
+## Ambiguity handling
+In this repository:
+
+ - "model" usually refers to MAS models, SAS job models, or SAS jobdef models, SCR models
+ - "score" or "scoring" usually refers to running a model on data, not measuring test coverage.
+ - "job"  usually refers to a SAS job or flow, not a CI job.
+
+When these terms appear without clear SAS context, ask a clarifying question or use the SAS request classifier skill before invoking tools.
+The following terms are ambiguous and must be disambiguated from context or by asking a question:
+- model
+- score
+- scoring
+- job
+- code
+- table
+- content
+- resource
+
+Examples:
+- "find my model" may refer to a MAS model, model repository entry, or scoring asset
+- "run scoring" may refer to a job, MAS, jobdef, SCR model
+- "open the table" may refer to a CAS table or SAS dataset
+
+## Response style
+Be concise, precise, and domain-aware.
+Explain which SAS concept you are acting on when ambiguity is possible.
+Do not pretend certainty when the asset type or environment is unclear.
+Prefer structured answers with short steps when guiding the user.
+
+## Coding and implementation guidance
+When editing code in this repository:
+- Preserve existing MCP server patterns and naming conventions.
+- Prefer small, composable modules over large prompt files.
+- Keep tool descriptions short, specific, and distinct.
+- Put durable domain workflows in skills, not in tool descriptions.
+- Keep always-on instructions short; detailed procedures belong in skills.
+- Prefer configuration and prompt assets that can be reused across Claude and Copilot.
+
+## Repository structure expectations
+Expect to find:
+- MCP server implementation code
+- prompt or skill assets
+- configuration for client integrations
+- SAS/Viya-specific adapters or resource logic
+- tests or examples for skill and tool behavior
+
+When adding new artifacts:
+- Put repo-wide guidance in `.github/copilot-instructions.md`
+- Put targeted reusable workflows in `.github/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`
+- Keep supporting references, examples, and templates next to the skill that uses them
+
+## Safety and correctness
+Never make up SAS assets, job names, model identifiers, or CAS resources.
+If a requested action depends on environment-specific details, verify those details first.
+Prefer inspection and discovery over assumption.
+

+# Read TableWorkflow Enforcement (MANDATORY)
+
+For any request to read, fetch, or query a table (e.g., score a=1 with model abc", read maps.india", "get rows from lib.table", "show data from ..."), you MUST follow this workflow:
+
+Step 1. **Always use the sas-find-resource-strategy**
+
+- For tables:
+	- Use the `sas-find-resource-strategy` skill to locate the table and determine which server (CAS or SAS) contains it.
+	- Do not assume the server or skip this step, even if the library or table is commonly found in one server.
+	- If the table exists in both, ask the user which server to use.
+	- If the table is not found, inform the user and do not attempt to read.
+
+Step 2. **Only after confirming the table location:**
+	- Use the correct `sas-score-read-table` or `sas-score-sas-query` tool, specifying the server explicitly.
+
+3. **If you see a direct read-table/tool call without a prior find step:**
+	- Correct the workflow and restart from the find resource step.
+
+This workflow is mandatory for all table read requests. If you are unsure, always perform the find resource step before reading.
+
+See also: `./enforce-find-resource-strategy.md` for details and examples.

+
+
+# Available Skills
+
+This repository provides specialized skills for SAS-focused workflows. Load the relevant skill for the user's request before using MCP tools.
+
+## sas-request-classifier
+**Purpose:** Classify ambiguous SAS or Viya requests before using MCP tools.
+
+**Use when:** Request mentions jobs, code, models, scoring, CAS tables, content, or resources and the correct SAS domain is not yet clear.
+
+**Trigger phrases:** "find my model", "run scoring", "open the table", or any ambiguous request using domain terms.
+
+## sas-find-resource-strategy
+**Purpose:** Unified find-only strategy to verify existence of libraries, tables, models, jobs, and jobdefs using find tools.
+
+**Use when:** User asks to find, verify, check existence of, or locate a resource.
+
+**Trigger phrases:** "find library", "find table", "find model", "find job", "find jobdef", "does X exist".
+
+## sas-list-resource-strategy
+**Purpose:** Unified list strategy to list libraries, tables, models, jobs, and jobdefs with normalized pagination.
+
+**Use when:** User asks to list, show, browse, or enumerate resources.
+
+**Rule:** Always pass non-null `start` and `limit`; default to `start: 1` and `limit: 10` when not provided.
+
+**Trigger phrases:** "list libraries", "list tables", "list models", "list jobs", "list jobdefs", "show resources".
+
+## sas-find-library-smart
+**Purpose:** Find a SAS Viya library (libref or caslib) with intelligent server detection. Automatically checks CAS first, then SAS if not found.
+
+**Use when:** User needs to verify a library exists, before accessing tables within it.
+
+**Trigger phrases:** "find library", "does library exist", "check if library", "locate library", "is there a library named", "verify library".
+
+## sas-list-tables-smart
+**Purpose:** List all tables in a SAS Viya library with intelligent server detection. When the server is not specified, automatically checks CAS first, then SAS if not found.
+
+**Use when:** User wants to browse or explore available tables.
+
+**Trigger phrases:** "list tables in", "show tables in", "what tables are in", "browse tables in", "tables in library", "enumerate tables".
+
+## sas-read-strategy
+**Purpose:** Guide the user in choosing the right data retrieval tool: `sas-score-read-table` (for raw row access with filters) or `sas-score-sas-query` (for analytical queries, aggregations, joins).
+
+**Use when:** User wants to fetch records from a SAS/CAS table.
+
+**Pre-check:** Use `sas-find-resource-strategy` to verify library/table existence first.
+
+**Trigger phrases:** "read records from", "get data where", "fetch rows from", "query the table", "give me the first N records", "aggregate by", "join tables".
+
+## sas-read-and-score-strategy
+**Purpose:** Guide the full read → score workflow in SAS Viya: reading records from a table and then scoring them with a MAS model.
+
+**Use when:** User wants to score records from a table, run a model against query results, predict outcomes for a set of rows, or any combination of fetching data and scoring it.
+
+**Pre-check:** Use `sas-find-resource-strategy` to verify library/table/model resources first.
+
+**Trigger phrases:** "score these records", "score results of my query", "run the model on this table", "predict for these customers", "fetch and score", "read and score", "score rows from", "run model on table data".
+
+## sas-score-workflow-strategy
+**Purpose:** Mandatory routing logic for all scoring requests. Extracts model.type suffix and routes to the correct tool (run-job|run-jobdef|model-score|scr-score|run-program). Handles both MAS models and alternative scoring engines.
+
+**Use when:** User requests scoring with a model name that may require routing to different execution engines.
+
+**Pre-check:** Use `sas-find-resource-strategy` to verify model/job/jobdef resources before execution.
+
+**Trigger phrases:** "score with model X.job", "score X.jobdef scenario", "score with model X.mas", "score with model X.scr", any request with "score" + model name containing a dot (.) + type suffix.
