+BEFORE editing or code-reviewing any file, you MUST read the `.github/instructions/` files whose `applyTo` patterns match the files you are about to edit. For example:
+- Editing/code-reviewing `pyrit/**/*.py` → read `style-guide.instructions.md` and `user-custom.instructions.md`
+- Editing/code-reviewing `pyrit/scenario/**` → also read `scenarios.instructions.md`
+- Editing/code-reviewing `pyrit/prompt_converter/**` → also read `converters.instructions.md`
+- Editing/code-reviewing `tests/**` → also read `test.instructions.md`
+- Editing/code-reviewing `doc/**/*.py` or `doc/**/*.ipynb` → also read `docs.instructions.md`

+Follow every rule in the applicable instruction files. Do not skip this step.
