This PR implements comprehensive GitHub Copilot instructions for the All About Olaf React Native repository, following best practices for AI-assisted development.

What's Added

Main Copilot Configuration

  • .github/copilot-instructions.md - Primary development guidelines covering React Native patterns, TypeScript standards, mobile development best practices, and project-specific conventions
  • .github/copilot-learning.md - Extensive learning resources including tutorials, documentation links, and educational materials for React Native, testing, and mobile development

AI Agent Documentation

  • .github/agents/ directory with specialized guidance for AI coding assistants:
    • development.md - Development workflow, environment setup, and code quality processes
    • testing.md - Comprehensive testing strategies for React Native apps
    • mobile-specific.md - Mobile development considerations, platform differences, and performance optimization

Key Features

Project-Specific Guidance

The instructions are tailored specifically for this React Native college campus app, covering:

  • React Native 0.72.9 with TypeScript
  • Cross-platform development (iOS/Android)
  • State management with Redux Toolkit and React Query
  • Navigation patterns with React Navigation
  • Testing with Jest and React Native Testing Library

Mobile Development Focus

Comprehensive coverage of mobile-specific considerations:

  • Performance optimization for mobile devices
  • Platform-specific design patterns (iOS vs Android)
  • Touch interactions and accessibility
  • Memory management and battery efficiency
  • App store deployment guidelines

Code Quality Standards

Establishes clear coding standards including:

  • TypeScript best practices and type safety
  • React Native component patterns
  • File organization and naming conventions
  • ESLint and Prettier configuration alignment
  • Security considerations for mobile apps

Testing Framework

Detailed testing guidance covering:

  • Unit testing for utility functions and components
  • Integration testing for navigation and data flows
  • Accessibility testing patterns
  • Platform-specific testing strategies
  • Performance testing considerations

Benefits

This setup will help GitHub Copilot and other AI assistants:

  • Generate code that follows established project patterns
  • Understand the mobile development context and constraints
  • Suggest appropriate React Native and TypeScript solutions
  • Maintain consistency with existing codebase conventions
  • Consider cross-platform compatibility and performance implications

The documentation serves both as AI guidance and as a reference for human developers working on the project.
