SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up GitHub Copilot for a new repository requires creating many interlinked configuration files (instructions, skills, agents, workflows), and doing this manually is repetitive and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Configuration Scaffolding: Creates .github/copilot-instructions.md, language-specific instruction files, reusable skills, and specialized agents tailored to your stack. - Awesome-Copilot Integration: Researches and adapts proven patterns from the awesome-copilot repository with proper attribution comments. - Coding Agent Workflow: Optionally generates a copilot-setup-steps.yml GitHub Actions workflow for the Copilot coding agent environment. - Use Case: You are starting a React/TypeScript web app and want Copilot to follow your team's conventions. Provide your stack details and receive a complete, consistent .github/ configuration ready to commit. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to set up a complete GitHub Copilot configuration for your project by specifying your primary language, framework, project type, and whether you use GitHub Actions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up GitHub Copilot instructions for a new repository?

Create a `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file describing your project overview, tech stack, conventions, and workflow. This skill generates that file plus supporting instruction files, skills, and agents based on your technology stack.

What files does a complete GitHub Copilot configuration include?

A complete setup includes `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, language and topic files under `.github/instructions/`, reusable skills under `.github/skills/`, agents under `.github/agents/`, and optionally a `copilot-setup-steps.yml` workflow for the coding agent.

Does the copilot-setup-steps workflow require GitHub Actions?

Yes, the `copilot-setup-steps.yml` workflow is only generated if your project uses GitHub Actions. The job must be named `copilot-setup-steps` and kept simple with basic runtime setup, dependency installation, linting, and tests.

Can I reuse existing awesome-copilot instructions instead of writing new ones?

Yes, the workflow fetches matching instructions, agents, and skills from the awesome-copilot repository first and adapts them with attribution comments. Custom content is only created when no relevant pattern exists.

What information is needed to generate Copilot configuration?

You need to provide your primary language or framework, project type, additional technologies like databases or testing frameworks, development style preferences, and whether the project uses GitHub Actions.
