Copilot Instructions Blueprint Generator

What it does

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.

When to use it

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.

What's included

• Scripts: none detected
• References: none detected
• Instructions: a large, structured template with configuration variables (project type, architecture style, quality focus, documentation level, testing requirements) and a generated prompt that walks an agent through scanning a codebase and producing copilot-instructions.md content.

Compatible agents

Likely compatible with GitHub Copilot orchestration, Copilot-influenced automation, and agents that can run repository scans (Copilot, Codex, Cursor).
