Run the AgentRC instructions command with the output set to .github/copilot-instructions.md, starting with a dry-run to preview changes. The tool analyzes your actual code to capture detected languages, frameworks, and conventions rather than using templates.

Flat produces a single .github/copilot-instructions.md file that is simple to review in one PR. Nested creates a hub file plus per-topic .github/instructions/<topic>.instructions.md files with applyTo globs, which suits large or multi-stack repositories.

Each .instructions.md file starts with frontmatter declaring an applyTo glob such as apps/frontend/**. VS Code automatically loads that file only when the active file matches the glob, while the root copilot-instructions.md always loads.

Default to .github/copilot-instructions.md for VS Code Copilot, since it is the native auto-discovered location. Choose AGENTS.md only when the repository serves multiple agents such as Copilot, Claude, and Cursor together.

Yes, if agentrc.config.json declares areas with paths, the Skill emits one .github/instructions/<area>.instructions.md file per area using those paths as the applyTo glob. You can also pass --area or --apply-to for single-area generation.

Never run it non-interactively in CI, because instruction files are part of the repository and should land via a reviewed pull request. Always preview with --dry-run and confirm before writing files.
