Repository Instructions Generator

Overview

This skill generates the global .github/copilot-instructions.md file through comprehensive LLM-driven repository analysis. It autonomously discovers project characteristics, then populates a constitutional template with discovered values.

Works for all repository types:

• Code repositories: Tech stack, build systems, coding conventions
• Documentation repositories: Doc generators, writing style, content structure
• Data repositories: Schemas, pipelines, quality standards
• Mixed repositories: Adapts to whatever it finds

Key principle: Leverage LLM strengths for analysis and synthesis rather than rigid scripts.
