To generate a copilot-instructions.md file, you can use an automated skill to perform deep repository analysis. It synthesizes your documentation, tech stack, build systems, and code patterns to create concise instructions under 1000 lines.

An AI constitution is a global repository instruction file that provides your AI assistant with clear context, rules, and project structure. You need it to ensure AI-generated code aligns with your specific coding conventions and security constraints.

Yes, automated repository analysis works for existing projects by examining your current codebase, documentation, and build systems. It extracts your established tech stack and code patterns to populate a standardized instruction template.

Coding conventions and project structure are extracted through LLM-driven deep repository analysis. The system analyzes your code patterns, build commands, and documentation to synthesize essential project details into positive-constrained instructions.

The maximum line limit for generated repository instructions is 1000 lines. This context economics adherence ensures the generated AI constitution remains concise and focused to optimize assistant performance without overwhelming context windows.

Yes, you can use generated copilot instructions for onboarding new team members. The instruction file provides a foundational guide on project specifics, saving hours of manual documentation by detailing build commands and project structure.
