Copilot AI commented Nov 11, 2025

The repository had comprehensive Copilot instructions but was missing quick-reference sections recommended in GitHub's best practices guide.

Changes

  • Quick Start section - Prerequisites checklist, essential validation commands (restore, build, test, lint), and critical reminders about timeouts and minimal changes
  • When to Ask for Help section - Clear escalation criteria: ambiguous requirements, unresolvable build failures, security concerns, architecture decisions, and scope issues
  • Best practices reference - Link to official GitHub Copilot documentation at the top

Impact

Reduces agent onboarding from scanning 400+ lines to reviewing a 30-line quick start. Provides explicit escalation paths to prevent agents from getting stuck on issues requiring human judgment.

File grew from 388 to 435 lines. All existing content preserved.
