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)

Conventions

  • Keep instructions short and actionable.
  • Prefer conditional language ("Applies when...") so these files can coexist in mixed repos.

Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
