+## About This Repository
+
+This repository is a **full-day, hands-on GitHub Copilot Enterprise workshop** designed to bring enterprise development teams from zero to proficient with GitHub Copilot in a single day.
+
+### What It Contains
+
+- **Six structured learning modules** covering the entire Copilot feature surface — from inline code completions and Chat to Agent mode and custom agents
+- **Enterprise-grade code samples** in both **Java 17 (Spring Boot)** and **JavaScript (Node.js / Express)** that mirror real production patterns
+- **Hands-on exercises** with starter stubs so participants learn by doing, not just watching
+- **Live Copilot customization config** under `.github/` (custom instructions, prompt files, and agent definitions) that participants use and extend during Module 4 and 5
+
+### Why It's Valuable
