Skill: Copilot instruction layering
Goal
Provide a small set of reusable Copilot instruction files that can be copied into new repos and applied conditionally based on project type.
Files
- •
.github/copilot-instructions.md(high-level, Makefile-first) - •
.github/instructions/*.instructions.md(stack-specific guidance, withapplyToglobs) - •
.github/skills/*/SKILL.md(reusable skill definitions)
Conventions
- •Keep instructions short and actionable.
- •Prefer conditional language ("Applies when...") so files can coexist in mixed repos.
- •Use
applyTofront matter to scope instructions to relevant file patterns.
