GitHub Copilot Instructions Builder

Instructions File

1. In your repository, create a folder called .github (if it doesn't already exist)
2. Inside .github, create a file called copilot-instructions.md
3. Paste the generated instructions into that file
4. Copilot reads this file automatically on every interaction

Hooks Files

1. Inside .github, create a subfolder called hooks
2. Inside hooks, create a file called hooks.json
3. Paste the generated JSON into that file
4. In the root of your repository (same level as .github), create a folder called scripts
5. Create one .ps1 file for each script and paste the matching code

Skill (Section 06)

1. In your repository root, create .agents/skills/portfolio-onboarding/
2. Create a file called SKILL.md
3. Paste the generated content into that file
4. The skill fires automatically when Copilot detects a matching keyword — no invocation needed

Prompt File (Section 04)

1. Inside .github, create a subfolder called prompts
2. Create a file called onboard-analyst.prompt.md
3. Paste the generated content into that file

Custom Agent (Section 05)
