I have a few agents, skills, prompts and instructions that are universally usable for projects.
E.g. a web research agent that provides a state of the art overview of a topic without having its context biased by existing code.
I am aware we can store these files in user/.copilot/ or in reposity local paths via the chat.instructionsFilesLocations settings.
But it would seem logical and trivial to also allow absolute paths too like D:\dev\global_instructions to point to versioned repos for common instructions.
