What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to improving the GitHub Copilot Agent's performance by guiding the creation and refinement of Skills, Custom Instructions, AGENTS.md, and related configuration strategies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guided skill creation: Define, document, and publish new Skills that target specific tasks or domains within a repository.
• Instruction strategy: Decide when to use Custom Instructions, Skills, AGENTS.md, or Path-Specific rules to balance context and specificity.
• Governance & discovery: Establish consistent metadata and discovery patterns so Copilot can load the right guidance for the right task.
• Use Case: When optimizing agent behavior in a monorepo, apply directory-based AGENTS.md to tailor agent responses per module.

Quick Start

Outline the decision criteria for when to use Skills vs Custom Instructions in your repository and place a governing AGENTS.md at the repository root to apply directory-based guidance.
