Copilot AI commented Nov 4, 2025

The repository already has comprehensive Copilot instructions (.github/copilot-instructions.md and .github/instructions/*.md) but lacks documentation explaining the configuration to maintainers and contributors.

Changes

  • Added .github/README.md - Documents the Copilot configuration structure, explains when to update repository-wide vs path-specific instructions, and provides instruction file format requirements

  • Updated contributing.md - Added "GitHub Copilot Configuration" section informing contributors that AI assistance is available and linking to maintainer documentation

Current Configuration

.github/
├── README.md                                    # 🆕 Maintainer documentation
├── copilot-instructions.md                      # Repository-wide (421 lines)
└── instructions/
    ├── custom_auth_product.instructions.md      # Product requirements
    ├── custom_auth_structure.instructions.md    # Code structure
    └── custom_auth_tech.instructions.md         # Technical standards

The existing instructions follow GitHub best practices with proper YAML frontmatter (applyTo: "**/custom_auth/**") and cover build procedures, code standards, and PR guidelines. This PR makes the configuration discoverable and maintainable without modifying the instruction content.

Original prompt
