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, with applyTo globs)
.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
applyTo front matter to scope instructions to relevant file patterns.
