Make Instruction

This skill helps you generate custom instruction files for GitHub Copilot (.github/instructions/*.instructions.md) following the official "awesome-copilot" best practices.

When to Use

Use this skill when you want to:

• •Create a reusable prompt or context for Copilot.
• •Standardize code generation for a specific language, framework, or library.
• •Define code review guidelines for specific file types.
• •Ensure consistent documentation styles.

Workflow

1. •Identify the Need: Determine what domain or specific task you need instructions for (e.g., "React Components", "Python Testing", "API Documentation").
2. •Define Scope: Decide which files these instructions should apply to (e.g., **/*.tsx, tests/*.py).
3. •Generate Content: using the template below, the agent will help you draft the content.

Template

The generated file should look like this:

---
description: 'Brief description of the instruction purpose and scope'
applyTo: 'glob pattern (e.g., **/*.ts)'
---

# [Title: e.g., React Component Guidelines]

[Brief introduction explaining the purpose and scope]

## General Instructions
[High-level guidelines and principles]

## Best Practices
- [Be Specific]
- [Show Why]

## Code Standards
