copilot-instructions-blueprint-generator
Generate GitHub Copilot instruction files by analyzing actual codebase patterns and technology versions.
- Scans projects to detect exact language, framework, and library versions, then generates instructions that enforce compatibility with those specific versions
- Analyzes existing code patterns for naming conventions, architecture style, error handling, testing approaches, and documentation standards to ensure Copilot-generated code matches established practices
- Supports multiple technology stacks (JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Angular, Python, Java, .NET) with technology-specific guidance sections
- Configurable quality focus areas including maintainability, performance, security, accessibility, and testability, with instructions tailored to your project's priorities
- Outputs a .github/copilot/copilot-instructions.md file that prioritizes consistency with existing codebase patterns over external best practices

Generated Prompt
"Generate a comprehensive copilot-instructions.md file that will guide GitHub Copilot to produce code consistent with our project's standards, architecture, and technology versions. The instructions must be strictly based on actual code patterns in our codebase and avoid making any assumptions. Follow this approach:

git-commit
Execute git commit with conventional commit message analysis, intelligent staging, and message generation. Use when user asks to commit changes, create a git commit, or mentions "/commit". Supports: (1) Auto-detecting type and scope from changes, (2) Generating conventional commit messages from diff, (3) Interactive commit with optional type/scope/description overrides, (4) Intelligent file staging for logical grouping
30.2Kgh-cli
GitHub CLI (gh) comprehensive reference for repositories, issues, pull requests, Actions, projects, releases, gists, codespaces, organizations, extensions, and all GitHub operations from the command line.
21.2Kprd
Generate high-quality Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for software systems and AI-powered features. Includes executive summaries, user stories, technical specifications, and risk analysis.
17.4Kdocumentation-writer
Diátaxis Documentation Expert. An expert technical writer specializing in creating high-quality software documentation, guided by the principles and structure of the Diátaxis technical documentation authoring framework.
17.4Kexcalidraw-diagram-generator
Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
16.4Krefactor
Surgical code refactoring to improve maintainability without changing behavior. Covers extracting functions, renaming variables, breaking down god functions, improving type safety, eliminating code smells, and applying design patterns. Less drastic than repo-rebuilder; use for gradual improvements.
