Instruction Creator

This skill guides the creation of effective custom instruction files that help GitHub Copilot follow project conventions and domain-specific logic.

Workflow

Define Scope: Identify the purpose and the files the instructions should apply to (e.g., **/*.ts).

Initialize: Use the scripts/init_instruction.py script to create the boilerplate.

python skills/instruction-creator/scripts/init_instruction.py "my-new-instruction" --description "Description here" --applyTo "**/*.ext"

Draft Content: Follow the guidelines to fill in the sections.
Use Templates: Refer to templates for standard structures.
Semantic Linking: Ensure you link to relevant Skills in the Workflow section.
- Example: To perform [Task], execute the [Skill Name](skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md).
Validate: Test the instructions with Copilot to ensure they are clear and actionable.

Core Principles

Policy Maker: Instructions define the "What" and "How" (decision logic and standards).
The 5 Sections: Effective instructions include: Overview, Tech Stack, Structure, Guidelines, and Resources.
Concise & focused: Avoid fluff; use imperative language. Limit files to ~500 lines.
Actionable: Provide concrete "Good" and "Bad" code examples and clear steps.
Linked: Connect instructions to the skills that execute them and internal automation scripts.

Resources

Guidelines: Detailed rules for frontmatter, style, and linking.
Templates: Ready-to-use markdown structures.
scripts/init_instruction.py: Automation for creating new files.
