harnesscp-scaffold

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the guesswork from setting up VS Code Copilot for a project by analyzing the repository and generating the foundational instruction files and .github structure needed for a useful harness.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project Scaffolding: Creates a tailored copilot-instructions.md and supporting .github directories from the actual codebase.
• Conditional Guidance: Produces scoped instruction files for different file types and domains when the project has distinct conventions.
• Repository Onboarding: Helps when a new repo needs Copilot setup, when instructions are missing, or when the assistant does not understand the project context.
• Example Use Case: A team adopts a fresh codebase and wants Copilot to understand build commands, architecture patterns, and coding standards before anyone starts coding.

Quick Start

Use this skill to analyze the repository and generate a Copilot harness scaffold with project instructions and any relevant conditional instruction files.
