Generates a technology-agnostic blueprint for creating copilot-instructions.md files that align Copilot output with a project's exact architecture, versions, an
Provides a configurable prompt and guidance to generate a comprehensive .github/copilot/copilot-instructions.md file. It instructs an agent to detect exact language, framework, and library versions from a codebase and produce rules that force generated code to match project patterns, architecture, testing and documentation standards. The blueprint covers priority guidelines, version detection, context files to prioritize, codebase scanning heuristics, quality standards (maintainability, performance, security, accessibility, testability), documentation and testing expectations, and technology-specific rules.
Use this skill when you need Copilot or similar code-assistant tools to produce code that strictly follows your project’s existing patterns and version constraints — for example before introducing Copilot into a production repo, when onboarding contributors, or when standardising code generation across multiple repositories. It’s useful during repo setup, audit of generated code, or when creating organizational Copilot policies.
Likely compatible with GitHub Copilot orchestration, Copilot-influenced automation, and agents that can run repository scans (Copilot, Codex, Cursor).
Pure prompt-template skill with no executable scripts. Generates a copilot-instructions.md blueprint using configurable variables for project type, architecture, and quality focus. The template uses JS-like conditional syntax embedded in markdown which requires human/agent interpretation. Well-structured but monolithic — all content lives in SKILL.md with no supporting scripts or references.
Safe skill — purely instructional, no code execution. Useful concept but limited by lack of automation; an agent must manually expand the template conditionals. Source: github/awesome-copilot.
