FAQPage Schema

How do I generate Copilot instructions for a new repository automatically?▼

To generate Copilot instructions automatically, the bootstrapper scans your repository structure via GitHub MCP to detect the tech stack, then creates .github/copilot-instructions.md and .github/instructions/ templates for scalable project guidance.

What is the best way to automate onboarding documentation for a fresh project with no docs?▼

Automating onboarding documentation is best handled by scanning the repository structure to auto-scaffold Copilot instructions and starter skills, turning an undocumented fresh project into a ready-to-run repository in minutes.

Does the bootstrapper work with different programming languages and frameworks?▼

Yes, the bootstrapper works across different languages and frameworks by using GitHub MCP-based detection to scan the repository structure, ensuring it can scaffold appropriate Copilot instructions regardless of your specific tech stack.

How do I create starter skills for future automation in my GitHub repository?▼

To create starter skills for future automation, you can run a repository scan that automatically generates the .agents/skills/ directory structure, providing a scalable foundation for ongoing project guidance and workflows.

Do I need external dependencies or packages to scaffold GitHub workflows and instructions?▼

No external dependencies are required to scaffold GitHub workflows and instructions, as the bootstrapper is entirely self-contained and relies solely on GitHub MCP-based detection to generate the necessary repository templates.
